IncitePC is a new gaming mag, and their premier issue contains a nice writeup of Halo. We're seeking permission to bring you the full article, but in the meantime, we'll whet your appetites with a screenshot and a quote... In their discussion of the background story, they say this of the Halo:

Nathan Bitner (former Halo Producer) stands by his Island Four quote: "Throwing in 1st-person is pretty easy (I think) programming-wise, so I'm sure they want to wait and see how the game plays out in 3rd-person before making a final decision." (Wirehead 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)

"Bungie remains uncommitted to the number of players the game will support but the company assured us that no fewer than 32 people will be able to play at the same time."
This is an interesting quote, given that it was written by Christopher Breen, who wrote two months earlier (in the October issue of the same magazine)
"The game will allow up to 32 players - 16 players per team - to have at it across a network or Bungie's own Internet-based BungieNet.com."
Games just got bigger, it seems... (Louis Wu 00:00:01 UTC) (permalink)
