GameStats and GameSpot both leaning to Halo
Fire Phoenix points out that Halo is solidly in the lead in the GameStats poll (26% to Diablo 2's 22% with 1000 votes in). Make sure you help keep it this way, if you haven't voted yet! The GameSpot poll is a tougher nut to crack... with 11,351 votes, Halo is slightly ahead of Warcraft III. They seem to do IP checking here... but the buffer size (number of IP addresses stored) is less than 2000, maybe much less. If you haven't voted in a while... give it another whirl! :) (Louis Wu 22:51:54 UTC) (permalink)

German PC Games says 5% of readers want Halo bad
Thanks to Christoph Schmidt, who sent in info of a 'most wanted' list in the German PC Games. Halo placed 4th, with 5% of the vote. They were beaten by Black and White (32%), Diablo 2 (13%), and Half-Life 2 (7%). Seems as thought Halo isn't making as big a splash in Germany as it is in the US! (Louis Wu 17:12:51 UTC) (permalink)
CGI or CGW, or both? Halo previews abound...
CGI or CGW? Haloplayers reports that the June 2000 issue of CGI contains a Bungie profile... but nicx reported yesterday on our forum that CGW (Computer Gaming World) contains a Halo preview in its current issue. Are these two separate articles, or does someone have their story wrong? (The CGW site has a preview of its current issue on its website, with no mention of Halo or Bungie. The CGI site was singularly unhelpful (and indeed nearly impossible to load). Anyone with more info, please drop us a line! (Louis Wu 15:37:57 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI team stats posted
Dink! Nordlichter edges the Halo SETI Marines back a spot on the Team Standings... by 2 units! We need more power, Captain! 24 hour stats show who's pulling their weight... and we've put up 14 day stats, as well, from yesterday. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 14:43:25 UTC) (permalink)
Older new Wallpaper added
Apologies to Fire Phoenix, who uploaded some new Wallpaper to our uploads folder over a week ago... careless, careless. You can see it now, though, on our Wallpaper page. (Louis Wu 06:20:19 UTC) (permalink)
GameStats poll needs crushing
Thanks to David Oosha, who pointed out on our forum that GameStats, the old host network of The Core, is having a "most anticipated game" poll... and Halo is woefully behind. 5 times as many GameStats visitors are waiting for Diablo2 as are drooling over Halo... go show 'em who we are!
