Of Gearbox, and Bungie, and Stuff
There's been an awful lot of grumbling in the Halo community about the release of the HEK (Halo Editing Kit - it's been made clear to me that not everyone actually keeps TRACK of these acronyms). Gearbox (through Randy Pitchford) said several weeks ago that they were done with it, it had been passed to Microsoft, and therefore folks should talk to MS if they wanted it released. (The post was subsequently deleted from the Gearbox forum - which suggests, at the very least, that upon reflection, it was decided that this was not the wording they wanted to use.) Since then lots of people have been yelling that MS/Bungie are holding the HEK back, others are yelling that it's Gearbox's fault, and the principal parties are keeping their mouths shut. A couple of days ago, Hellface, a Gearbox programmer, posted a vague but promising message on the Gearbox forum - it's hard to say if it means anything's coming soon,, but it DOES suggest that in the next week or two, there WILL be news coming. (Whether it's about the HEK specifically, I couldn't tell you.) The clearing of clouds? We can only hope. (Thanks to BGH for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 13:55:39 UTC)
