More comparisons...
Heh - people see funny things. :) A month ago, we wondered whether Captain Keyes (as rendered in the game) might bear some resemblance to Joe Staten... now septimus prime, over on the Marathon's Story page forum, is wondering if the storyboard version of the Captain (visible on Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site) might not be modeled after the Story page founder, Hamish Sinclair, himself.
You be the judge. (Louis Wu 21:18:52 UTC) (permalink)
Sarge movie available
All right, you greenhorns, listen up! Bungie has made the introductory movie they showed at the fanfest (Sargeant Johnson introducing the crowd to Halo) covertly available on their Tru7h and Reconciliation site. (There's an article on the Launch Party - they mentioned the movie when it first went up. Recently, a link to the movie was added within the article.) Go grab it - it's pretty funny! (And 35 MB...) Thanks to Strider for the sharp eyes! (Louis Wu 17:35:28 UTC) (permalink)
IGNXbox Strategy Guide grows
Just a heads-up... another page has been added to IGN Xbox's Halo Strategy Guide; level 6 (343 Guilty Spark) has been made available. (Louis Wu 14:07:31 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox names?
At the request of The Shrike, we've begun a list of all Xbox names. (When being used in multiplayer games, each Xbox identifies itself with a whimsical name.) We're going to do our best to compile all of them - if you want to help, send in the name of your Xbox! (See the list for details on finding it.) (Louis Wu 13:55:33 UTC) (permalink)
Halo review at drunkgamers.com
drunkgamers.com have put up a Halo review. It's a pretty funny read...
While I can not recommend taking a Ghost head to head against a Scorpion I suggest you try at least once...if only to see how far your body flies when you explode.
They say they don't have a rating system, but if they did, they'd have given it a 9.5... thanks to Gustavo Sorola for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:36:06 UTC) (permalink)
Pushed too far...
Raymond Makowski drops off a newly-captioned screenshot... I think he's captured the feeling pretty well. You'll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 10:29:42 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Content, online fast!
Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site has been updated again - new screenshots, and Part 2 of the Multiplayer Guide. Check it out! (Screens will be up in our database shortly.) Update: 13 new shots have been added to our Screenshots section. (Louis Wu 00:54:10 UTC) (permalink)
Xbox Halo online? Not this week...
To all the people sending us links to other sites posting about the thread on the IGN boards concerning playing Xbox online - thanks, we know about it. We are also pretty sure that getting it to work is non-trivial - we chose not to post about it because at this stage, it's hype only. (And, in our opinion, unlikely to happen... at least not in any way useable by the vast majority of Xbox'ers.) Read this post by Bungie's Ferrex for a slightly more sobering viewpoint...
