Good lookin' stuff.
Been a little while since we've updated the Wallpaper section... got 13 desktops for you, some real doozies. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 19:40:54 UTC) (permalink)
Screenies at WorthPlaying, too
While I was over at WorthPlaying, I found a whole bunch of screenshots (54 of 'em) posted about a week and a half ago. They're interesting, because they've got lots of graphic features turned off; you can see what the game looks like with no specular reflections, low textures, etc. Warning to those who haven't played yet - they're full of spoilers.

Wow. Patched before most even have it.
Speed is everything. The Halo v1.01 patch is already available for download from WorthPlaying.com. It's 3.6 mb, but WP doesn't know what, exactly, it addresses. Thanks to Tocki, of Halo Orbit, who's already put up a mirror. More details when we have them. Update: It's mirrored at Halo Universe (in Germany), as well. Thanks, Marc!

It's Official.
The official Halo PC Press Release has hit the wires; get ready to start fragging. (Louis Wu 13:39:16 UTC) (permalink)
High-quality music... coming
More info from Neo Alucard X about the Bonus DVD coming from Bungie (Soon™). It's going to have 5.1 versions of both Halo 2 trailers, plus a suite of music from the E3 demo (also in 5.1). Plus a new image. Info comes from the Marty Army chapter of the 7th Column. (If your response is 'huh? WHAT bonus DVD?' - you haven't been keeping up. Neither have we, really... it's been mentioned at that chapter a few times, but I don't have any other info for you.) (Louis Wu 09:17:20 UTC) (permalink)
GamePro reviews Halo PC
GamePro has put up their Halo review... and they were REALLY unhappy with the framerate issue. (They gave Halo a 3.5/5 on Graphics partly because it's dated... but partly because (in their opinion) you have to turn everything off in order to play the game.) Thanks to KP for the heads-up.

Flaming Love
Very nice. Gearbox has put up a new screenshot - this one shows Dave Mertz getting toasted crisply with the flamethrower. Thanks to comcipher for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 08:33:22 UTC) (permalink)
The End Of A Legend.
Today's Guest One One Se7en was submitted by forum regular Simpsons Rule... and it expresses a heartfelt sentiment shared by most forumgoers. (Louis Wu 02:18:12 UTC) (permalink)
Video review, too, from Gamespot.
As KP pointed out, Gamespot has updated its coverage to include a 10 minute video review for Gamespot Complete members. (Louis Wu 02:13:42 UTC) (permalink)
No rest for the workers
Serious tasty bits from Dave Mertz, lead designer of Halo, over on the Gearbox forums this evening. Highlights:
- The first bugfix for Halo PC is already almost finished, and will be ready soon after the game's release. Two more patches/updates are in the pipeline.
- Additional features are coming soon.
- Game tweaking to conform to the needs of the CPL (and tournament play in general) is underway.
Check out the whole post (and, indeed, the whole thread, if you've got an hour to kill) - rest assured, Gearbox is VERY aware of the issues being brought forward by the community (even though most of the vocal ones right now have stolen the game), and are working hard to make things better.
