Gearbox/Bungie interview at Gamespot
Randy Pitchford and Pete Parsons spoke to Gamespot recently; they've posted a video interview (49.7 mb, zipped) on their Halo media page. Unfortunately, it's subscriber-only; if you're not a Gamespot Complete member, you can't see this. There's not a huge amount of new information, and from what I can tell, it was filmed about a month ago (Randy talks about the Rocket Hog change as brand-new; that took place just before Fanstock, in mid-August), and the gameplay footage in it comes from a pretty old beta (pre-1.5, even)... but it's got Randy and Pete philosophizing about what made Halo great, and how they tweaked things to make Halo PC better. Thanks to ON-X for letting us know. (Louis Wu 22:38:45 UTC) (permalink)
Music for soothing savage Brutes...
Whoa - Marty O'Donnell's planning on releasing a surround sound mix of the E3 2003 Halo 2 music suite - details to be posted on the Marty Army 7th Column site. I'd have known about this if I'd read my email, but Deimos™ over at Subnova pointed it out first. Droolin'! (Louis Wu 22:10:12 UTC) (permalink)
Steve Ballmer... and Sarge?
A pretty darn cool sponsor-only extra is now available at Red vs Blue - check the Sponsors for more details. Currently WMP9 only... but a QuickTime version is coming. Thanks to P_40E for reminding me to go back and check. (Louis Wu 10:52:20 UTC) (permalink)

Infinity screens posted
Microsoft has put up shots of Infinity, the last of the 6 new levels in Halo PC, on the official HPC site. These, combined with the shots you can find in our Fanstock Screenshots section (put up almost a month ago), should give you a good sense of how massive this level is (and how much fun it's going to be with Warthogs)...
