PC Gamer pics posted
Thanks to CrimsonT, who pointed out that a fan has posted shots from the PC Gamer spread over at the TeamXbox forums. (If you just want to see the pics themselves, CrimsonT did a nice job of extracting just the links.) Check out that flamethrower! (And the tank... and the turret gun... mmmm.)

London Sunday Times mentions Halo
Red Fox TX scanned an article from the London Sunday Times about the Xbox - Halo gets a tiny mention as an expected debut title. A fine read, though there's nothing revolutionary. Always nice to see mentions in major mainstream newspapers! (Louis Wu 14:39:33 UTC) (permalink)
T3 looks at Xbox (and Halo)
Fernando notes on our forum that this month's T3 magazine (UK edition) contains a piece on the Xbox, and a small mention of Halo:
"Halo (bungie)
First-person shooter meets armoured vehicular combat. With its deformable terrain, awesome squad AI, and incredibly expansive visitas, Halo is sure to offer a single and multiplayer experience that will be out of this world."
Hmm... that deformable terrain bit seems unlikely, since it's never been mentioned before... (Louis Wu 07:28:02 UTC) (permalink)
It's your Alamo
Joseph Staten surfaces on our forum to pass along a few tidbits about the Pillar of Autumn... in addition to the nice description of its purpose, we now know that the Pillar of Autumn is a Halcyon-class ship. (Details... it's all in the details.) (Louis Wu 07:06:19 UTC) (permalink)
Wallpaper section updated
Aehrick sends us a new Wallpaper that incorporates the new Covenant model visible at the almost-open Bungie Store. You'll find it in three resolutions in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 07:06:19 UTC) (permalink)
Mullins is back
Rampancy.net got this week's Halo Update, and it's quite a bit longer than last week's - it really sounds like they're moving along nicely. Lots of artwork bits, lots of gameplay tweaks (grenades can now set off other grenades - you can use this to effectively multiply your available ammo), and some fun tidbits - congrats, Jay and Heather Weinland, on your Bungie-day baby! Welcome, also, to Adrian Perez and Adam Tews, the two newest members of the Halo team. Check out all the details at R.net. (Louis Wu 06:56:48 UTC) (permalink)
