Tamte says all's well
Thanks to Ghôlsbane, who pointed out an article at MacGamer, summarizing the day's events at Apple expo 2002 in Paris. They spoke to Peter Tamte, head of Bold Games and Destineer Studios (the publishers behind the Mac version of Halo).
Peter told us that Halo is meeting every internal schedule and should be released simultaneously for the Mac and the PC in Summer 2003.
This is what he said a month ago, to Inside Mac Games... and 2 months ago, to our own Miguel Chavez. It's nice when things go as planned! (Louis Wu 21:39:36 UTC) (permalink)
Yep... locked, all right.
Strykerwolf, once and for all, proves the veracity of the infamous 'locked weapons' story floating around the internet. See his proof here. (Originally posted to our forum.) (Louis Wu 21:21:47 UTC) (permalink)
Now THAT'S off-roading.
We're a little ambiguous about posting info from the Edge scans leaked this weekend... but this picture was so cool, we decided we couldn't hold it back. Warbow has taken the new Halo 2 ATV and stuck it out in the American west... wow. You can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. Update: seems Warbow forgot the shadow on the first version. Grab it again if you downloaded it already - it's better now. :) (Louis Wu 19:50:49 UTC) (permalink)
HNC on Arena - soon!
Thanks to Oso, who pointed out a trailer from G4 for the upcoming broadcast of the Halo National Championship on G4TV - you can download it in MPEG format (3.8 mb, 36 seconds), or stream it to Windows Media Player. It'll show you a few of the contestants, and a bit of the set it was all filmed on. The show airs Friday night, September 20, at 11 pm eastern time (8 pm pacific). There's no word yet on whether the actual show will be available on the web at some point. (Louis Wu 19:10:31 UTC) (permalink)
IP Change... AGAIN
I'm getting sort of tired of this... but HBO's colo host is changing our location, which means our IP address changes. Again. Which means that as of 4 pm EST today, this site will be inaccessible until your local DNS information catches up. Apologies. (The forum will continue to be accessible; it's not moving.) Update: Obviously, we're not offline yet. In fact, we don't know when the move is going to happen. (This is unsettling, to say the least.) I suppose the best we can do is to say that when you can't reach us, we've changed addresses. :) (Louis Wu 16:23:17 UTC) (permalink)
Lots o' stars
Another desktop image from Chaoz in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 13:21:54 UTC) (permalink)
A new Covenant armada
Yesterday, Zeinin posted a note on our forum about a movie he was planning to make - about the fall of Reach. He put up a couple of stills, and I figured I'd hold off on a news post until there was a website, or something. However, over the course of the day, he revealed many more shots; read through the entire thread, you'll find some amazing bits of work. Can't wait to see the final product!

stickydoom plus rocket = boom!
iBonk has posted a video showing a new, rather intriguing form of Warthog Launching - how high can you make that puppy go? There's a forum thread here. (Louis Wu 08:22:37 UTC) (permalink)
I dub thee Sir Loin of Steak!
Mad Cow dropped off a tweaked b.net screenshot for our Miscellaneous Art collection. (It's a pretty minor change, but it's rather well done.) (Louis Wu 02:14:20 UTC) (permalink)
Where's my toothbrush?
Dolbex, of Been Mawed (possibly soon to change to a different name), has sent in a pretty scary desktop for our Wallpaper section. (If you like it, drop him some email - there are others.) (Louis Wu 02:06:31 UTC) (permalink)
FFP shuts down
The Halo Fan Fiction Project, an attempt to write the Halo story in novel form, has closed down. You can read an explanation by its leader, until it's taken down... and you can chime in on their forum if you care to. Hopefully, the people involved will find other outlets for their creativity in the Halo community. Thanks to Wonga for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:36:34 UTC) (permalink)
