No more news today...
Headed up to NoF's place for Inerumnis Lannactionica (don't even ask)... should be a goodly collection of Halo fans there for the day. Updates will resume tomorrow. (It's possible, but not all that likely, that we'll be able to get on to one of the Bungie servers hosting the Lanwerx celebration, so that we can make it a cross-country party... NoF has doubts about his PC equipment, so there aren't any promises.) (Louis Wu 14:38:46 UTC) (permalink)

Andrew writes to point out the Penguin Republican Army HQ. (They're a Halo PC clan.) They're recruiting... (Louis Wu 12:22:22 UTC) (permalink)
Warez.
Today's Guest One One Se7en was written by BOLL, about the time Halo PC was being released (a time when there were far more cracked servers online than legitimate ones). The topical nature of some One One Se7en strips have gotten us talking about options... more news when we have it. (Louis Wu 12:11:30 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC Tourneys all over India
The Worldwide Halo PC Championship is truly worldwide. It's not just countries like Australia or European nations, either - Microsoft is teaming up with Reliance Webworld (an Indian telecommunications retail giant) to bring the competition to 7,000 gamers in India. Winners will be flown to the US for the Final in January. Thanks to 'DFA'HK for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:06:44 UTC) (permalink)

CVG sticks its tongue out
Hehe - Computer and Video Games takes a shot at all the websites who fell over themselves to report the rumors of a 2003 Halo 2 release or an XBL-enabled Halo release in their description of the whole 'Halo Deluxe' rumor fiasco. Pretty funny article. Thanks to Ash, who found it on Shacknews. (Louis Wu 11:50:16 UTC) (permalink)
Half empty or half full?
Sector 7 has posted an article about how gaming communities can affect the development of games. Take a look. (Louis Wu 11:38:24 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 - still coming next year
Hamid Djangi points out that the Halo 2 info page at Xbox.com has a 'Street Date' listed; March 2004. Now, before you get all excited that there's now a hard release date... this is not a Bungie page, this is a Microsoft page. Yes, MS owns Bungie, but no, they don't dictate release dates. It might TURN OUT to be true - but until it comes DIRECTLY from Bungie, we will NOT treat it as an 'official' release date. (Louis Wu 09:54:56 UTC) (permalink)
Paaaah-tay!
The Lanwerx party that Bungie is tossing tomorrow (today, for some of you) in Seattle is not restricted to Seattle denizens only... there are 15 dedicated servers being put aside for online Halo PC play - for folks to jump in and play along with those that are there in person. Details on servers (and passwords to enter) can be found in this Bungie.net post. It's a party, and you're invited! (Comments can be tossed into this HBO forum thread.)

It's Double Plus Good
MASSIVE story over on Bungie.net - a celebration of Halo's second anniversary, and a look back (through the eyes of fans and developers alike) on what those two years have meant. Absolutely worth a read (except for the third fan bit). Make sure you've got your milk and cookies - it's gonna take you a while to get through it. (Louis Wu 01:38:14 UTC) (permalink)
