Gamestar E3 video available - for a little while
With great trepidation, we're making the E3 Halo video included with last month's GameStar magazine available. If the pipe fills up, we're going to have to pull it down - ideally, others will mirror this quickly, and make our lives easier. You can find it here - it's 32 MB, in MPG format. We'll keep it up as long as we can - but again, if you can mirror it, let us know as soon as possible with a mirror link. Thanks! (Louis Wu 20:16:23 UTC) (permalink)
PC Gamer says Planetside kicks Halo's butt
Lophan writes to say that PC Gamer has finally published their E3 impressions, in the August issue. Halo gets mentioned... in the Planetside blurb.
The demo of this persistent-world first-person shooter had snipers picking off opponents from long distances, and duos taking lethal vehicles out for spins with one man at the wheel and the passenger at the controls of a fearsome minigun. It blew the pants off the Xbox Halo demonstration.
- DM (Dan Morris) Verant, Summer '02
Ouch. Unfortunately, I didn't get to play with the Planetside build at E3 very much - it was crashing quite a lot. Guess the PC Gamer guys had a different experience. (Louis Wu 14:35:21 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI Marines 7 day stats posted
Dink!... Dink!... The Halo SETI Marines fall two notches in the Battle of the Teams this week. YOU'RE SLACKING, MARINES! Tharkhaad takes La Crunch Honneur, despite a 15% reduction in crunching... WereTiger continues to leapfrog teammates to take the Frogblast award again... but as a team, you're slipping. Time to step up the crunching! Those aliens are coming for YOU! Full details can be found on the 7 day stats page. (Louis Wu 14:31:54 UTC) (permalink)
Rampancy.net to shift focus
Wonga. Buried deep in a thread about various data-delivery systems, Noctavis, of Rampancy.net, delivers his clearest (to date) description of the (near) future of Rampancy.net. This site, which has been around since the very beginning of the Halo fan scene, looks to be shifting to a community discussion area, without the news section they have now. A good place to hang and talk... but not one, specifically, for Halo fans. We're gonna miss you guys! (Louis Wu 13:22:28 UTC) (permalink)
