The Marathon's Story page updates its Halo submissions page. A ton of Halo stuff. Here's the blurb from the page:
Updated the Halo section to include the Halo submissions for Jan - Mar 2000. Now you can brush up on Halo's backstory, the Halo development team, connections between Bungie's early games, Halo, Larry Niven and Charles Sheffield, Halo GURPS?, deadly wall-hugging hippos, Halo/Culture ship names, and the Face on Halo. Lots of story tidbits in fact.

Blam! The Halo SETI Marines climb back to position 65 in their quest for the top. Check out the movers and the shakers in the 24 hour stats. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 15:16:23 UTC) (permalink)
Thanks to Allenthar, who sends in a new Desktop in two flavors. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 06:52:57 UTC) (permalink)
In a similar vein, Matt is FAR more forthcoming about the actual state of development in another post. Here's a snippet:
The physics are pretty much done at this point; there will certainly be tweaking done here and there but the bulk of it is ready to go. The bare bones of the story have been etched out for a while but a lot of the intensely detailed bits are still in Jason and Rob's heads. We're still concentrating on building the net game; there are nightly games here at the office. When that's solid, we start serious work on the solo game (certain preparatory work is being done now, but there aren't any complete missions you can play from start to finish).
Read the details for yourself! (Nightly net games... hmm, wonder how hard it would be to break into Bungie headquarters?) (Louis Wu 00:01:00 UTC) (permalink)
Okay, first at the Core, Matt says "Anyway, this footage I can't just hand out because it's already promised to someone else." Then, on our forum, he says (in response to "When?") "I can't give you an exact date, because it's not technically in our hands anymore. But you shouldn't have to wait too long. " So: some gaming mag or internet gaming site has gotten new, battle-filled Halo movie footage already... and should be releasing it soon. Wow! Keep your eyes open.
