Halo PC hotfix refresh
According to Bungie's sawnose, Halo PC has received a new 'pre-release hotfix' that he'd like some community help testing before they get rolled into a real patch for auto-update. If you manage a Halo PC server, swing by his forum post and read about what's been changed, and then grab the patch and give him some feedback on whether things work!

Harold Ryan discusses creativity and success
Very interesting read over at The Cut Scene - it's a pre-E3 interview with Bungie's Harold Ryan, discussing how Halo has fit into the functioning of the studio for the past few years. There are tons of little tidbits that should be fascinating to anyone who wonders how Bungie does what it does, or why it left Microsoft, or when it started planning that move. Thanks, mendicantbias00. (Louis Wu 19:10:38 UTC) (permalink)

KP let us know yesterday that according to Major Nelson's LIVE Activity list for the week of July 21, Halo 3 is still on top, suggesting that last week's showing might not have been a fluke. (The news by NOW is all over the net... including on our forum if you want to discuss it.) Are players coming back to Halo 3 from other games? (Louis Wu 13:43:39 UTC) (permalink)
