Frankie's Bungie Update
This week's Frankie's Bungie Update is here at HBO - and contains some rather momentous news. A Halo 2 release timeframe has been set - for Fall, 2004. You'll have to decide for yourself whether the relief at knowing overcomes the disappointment of having to wait another several months... (And congrats to those who procrastinated about c0ld's release date contest - your chances are much, much better now.) (Louis Wu 18:49:51 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2: Strike First? Halo 2: Flood The?
Sep7imus was the first to point out this news item on Truth and Reconciliation:
Halo 2 will ship in Fall, 2004.The news item also includes a brand new multiplayer screenshot. Mmm, bumpmapping... (Note: A number of people have been confused by the title of this news item. The game is NOT named "Halo 2: In Reach of Fall". This is just a reference to the title of novel The Fall of Reach.) (Count Zero 18:43:07 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 - Free
Hehe - c0ld vengeance is offering to pre-order Halo 2 for one lucky forumgoer. Guess the release date, win the game. Read the rules in his forum post. (Louis Wu 13:57:26 UTC) (permalink)
Game Types, Roles, and Tactics
Narcogen has posted Part Three of the High Ping Bastard's Guide to Halo over at Rampancy.net - this one looks at gametypes, and how high-ping players can benefit from certain strategies. An interesting read. (Louis Wu 13:25:31 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Flash Game makes progress
Hey - we stopped mentioning the incremental updates on the Halo Flash game under development over at 343GS.com some time ago... but the new features in it now merit another look. A Silent Cartographer-like intro, new sounds, plasma grenades... it's getting there! (Check the Projects page.) (Louis Wu 11:49:53 UTC) (permalink)

More Halo-related sketching
elmatto dropped by our forum to point out an old comic he started drawing about him and some friends playing Halo. It ends rather suddenly (he put it down to lack of interest), but the art style is pretty interesting to me. (Louis Wu 10:29:13 UTC) (permalink)
