Wait... Halo had dial-up communicating?
A company called 'PalTalk' is suing Microsoft for patent infringement on a pair of patents it bought from MPath Interacive; it says that the technology it now has the rights to was infringed upon by the Halo games. According to the article,
Microsoft said it did review the inventions and chose a different path in developing its games. The technology is for an older dial-up method of communicating between computers and "the patents don't cover the way the Halo games work," Pritikin said.
Bungie isn't even MENTIONED in the story. Doesn't sound like it'll go very far - but it's interesting to see what happens when you get big enough to be a target. (Louis Wu 12:35:08 UTC)
