BGH talks to TCLN
DOH! This came in yesterday, I totally spaced. Battleground: Halo has interviewed the co-owners of the Cobra League Network, a group devoted to game ladders (one that recently added Halo to its lineup). The interview gives some insight into how the group was formed, and what they do... go check it out for info on game ladders and how they work! (Louis Wu 17:20:54 UTC) (permalink)
Review Roundup
New Halo reviews at Adrenaline Vault, GamePlanet.nz, Gaming Illustrated, and The Entertainment Depot. Opinions ranged from 'eh' to 'good with flaws'. Thanks, as usual, to Blue's News. Update: oops, missed one; Boomtown looked at it yesterday, too. Thanks, Narcogen (who got it from Shacknews). (Louis Wu 16:54:25 UTC) (permalink)
Randy Pitchford talks performance at AVault
The Adrenaline Vault has posted an interview with Randy Pitchford about Halo PC's performance. On the positive side, he points out a bunch of the critical issues that explain some of the negative press Halo's been getting. (The biggest is that this is really the first mainstream game to extensively use DX9 - and people haven't adjusted their expectations from experiences with DX7/8 yet.) The negative side is that some of the frustration of dealing with day-to-day problems leaks out into some of his answers. It's a good read, and there's a lot to look forward to. I'm just glad I'm not forced to support people screaming for my blood... (Louis Wu 14:38:51 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Scavenger Hunt FAQ posted
Yayap the grunt has written a short FAQ about the Great Halo Scavenger Hunt; we've linked it in our list of helpful URLs on the right side of the forum. Yayap isn't a Bungie or b.org employee; he's just a fan who's written up what's known about this hunt to date. If you're having trouble figuring out what you're supposed to be doing, give it a read!

Mac Halo Info... tantalizing
Oops - almost missed this one. SketchFactor posted a mini-update on Mac Halo over at bungie.net; the official beta testing starts next week. That's rockin' news... (Louis Wu 04:10:25 UTC) (permalink)
Co-op Love
Speaking of comics, today's guest One One Se7en comes from forum regular hehbo2k3. He looks at the PC coop issue. And what an issue it is. (Louis Wu 04:02:20 UTC) (permalink)
Halobabies update
New strip over at Halobabies.net! The Baby Hunter... ain't very nice. Thanks, mrsmiley. (There are also a couple of new sketches in the MOXC Sketches section, for registered visitors.) (Louis Wu 03:48:45 UTC) (permalink)
