Marty to win that new Game Music Grammy?
Marty to win that new Game Music Grammy? Matt says it could happen and it couldn't happen to a nicer old fella. Matt also says there are several new pieces of Halo Swag in development for the revitalized Bungie Store. Go, Go, Go! (Wirehead 19:23:37 UTC) (permalink)

Bob don't drive!
Bob don't drive! According to an Xbox IGN article on the driving aspects of Halo the NPCs don't drive. Here's the beef:
But if you decide that you're NPC gunner isn't getting the job done and you're in a place where you can afford to be stationary, you, as the Mark V Master Chief, can hop out of the driver's seat, hit the X button to kindly ask your Marine buddy to move and take over the turret yourself. Same thing if you decide to take over the passenger seat yourself and ride shotgun. The catch is, the NPCs don't drive, and really as talented as they are, you wouldn't want them to. So they simply stand next to the Jeep and watch you get busy.
I don't think I'll be the only person disappointed by this if true. Thanks to Harry "Could drive but isn't allowed to" Al-Shakarchi for the heads up earlier this morning. (Ding 16:37:10 UTC) (permalink)
Eight new Halo movies
Kudos to Blizzard for spotting eight new Halo movies over at IGN. Check his forum post for the details. UPDATE Charles D. Clifford noted these movies first on our forum. Sorry Charles. (Ding 16:21:22 UTC) (permalink)
How Marines Fight
The monastery is calling, and I must leave you... but before I go, I'd like to point out one other post on our forum - this one from Chris Butcher, who programmed a lot of the AI in Halo. He explains a bit about how the other soldiers will respond with respect to you, and how you can use their programming to the best advantage. Worth a read! Pax. Updated: Sorry this post was in error for so long; everyone else seems to have flown the coop. The post in question is here. -CZ (Crux Fidelis 00:03:34 UTC) (permalink)
Futureshop art is old
While I'm here... Matt Soell cleared up the mystery of the bizarre box art:
That was Microsoft's first stab at box art, before Lorraine stepped in and did some stabbing of her own.
Ahh... THAT makes more sense. Thanks, Matt! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 00:02:01 UTC) (permalink)
Louis went riding
Just a quick note to let our readers know - Louis is out of town for the next day or so. There MAY be updates from the rest of us... but I wouldn't count on it. (Most of us are pretty lazy these days - blame Louis for that.) If there's absolutely critical Halo news, post it in the forum; hopefully most of our viewers will see it there. Pax.
