Project Halo talks to Fropco
Halo.Fropco has interviewed the Project Halo: Webwar Evolved team about their work in progress. The interview itself is beefier than the one put up at the Junkyard last week; more info, pretty pictures. If you're curious about where these guys are going, and how they plan to get there... go read this! (Louis Wu 20:07:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2: Precognition, part 2
Battleground: Halo has posted the second installment of Viper's Halo 2: Precognition article (the first installment was posted a couple of weeks ago). This one uses the novels and the game as its basis for speculation, as opposed to the print articles the first part used. Again - it's speculation, not fact. Read it, think about it, but don't get mad; he's not claiming that any of this will actually happen. (While you're over at BGH, say goodbye to Rams; he's stepping down as Assistant Site Director as of next month. We'll miss you, Rams!) (Louis Wu 19:58:42 UTC) (permalink)
Bullets?
Today's Guest One One Se7en comes from Crouchelle, and it clears up one of the great mysteries of Halo PC. (Louis Wu 10:54:07 UTC) (permalink)
The Valiant Master Chief

Crow feathers stuck in my teeth
It has been pointed out to me that my gentle ribbing of Stuntmutt over yesterday's One One Se7en strip was unfair - and so far off the mark as to warrant this apology. So here it is. It is clear, as evidenced by last night's release of a Security Hotfix for Halo PC, that Stuntmutt's strip, far from being out of date, was SO topical that it PREdated the real news... the man must use a crystal ball. Or, possibly, the rounded bottom of a crystal vodka tumbler (seen from the inside). In any case, we'll never doubt his prescience again. Today, at least. (Louis Wu 09:33:31 UTC) (permalink)
Who needs a debug kit, anyway?
XLNC dropped off another set of beautiful hudless screenshots on our forum recently; he's even trying his hand at reproducing existing Bungie shots (at much higher resolution, of course). Never ceases to amaze... (Louis Wu 09:24:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC Hot Fix
A security update has been released for Halo PC this evening; you can find details (and a download link for the updated version of the dedicated server) over at Bungie.net. At the moment, it's not clear what this means for Mac clients... there's no patch for Macs yet, so as soon as all the servers have upgraded to handle this security threat, Mac users will be left with no place to play. We're going to leave HBO-Subnova running 1.03 for the time being, just so they have a home in the HBO family... but apparently, the Mac patch is being worked on, so hopefully the delay won't be too painful.
