Halo Vault describes new movie
Luxor scores again! Halo Vault posts a blow-by-blow (almost) description of the new Halo movie shown at E3 today. Tons of new stuff there, you need to read it for yourself... a snippet:
A soldier was killed near a ledge, but instead of the body laying half-way over the ledge, it slipped off. Another marine was surprised and impaled by a covenant energy blade. The soldiers mouths moved in sync with their speech. A dying marine took out several covenant and their hover ships with a "thermal detonator". The red covenant know a little of the English language. :)
Anyone have an extra ticket to SF? (Thanks to Luxor and Xero for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 21:02:19 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI team stats posted
Dink! The Halo SETI Marines fall a notch to 55. Anyone get the number of that bus? (We can't even tell who passed us!) If SETI would stop losing our units, maybe we could get somewhere... check the 24 hour stats for the gory details. (Louis Wu 15:09:27 UTC) (permalink)
Pictures needed from E3!
What's going on here? We just got this email from an unnamed source:
Those of you fortunate enough to be attending E3, do ??? a favor and grab a bunch of stickers from the Bungie booth (whether Oni, Halo, or Bungie specific) and do your best ninja impersonation: Affix the stickers in the most unlikely of places (Blizzard booth? Lara's butt? [smile!]) and then whip out your instamatic and take some shots of said stickers... a record of the act of Bungie fandom! Keep those shots handy... more to come, soonTM.
p.s. This is not related to the E3 Photo contest over at rampancy.net, but don't worry, we'll take those pics as well. :)
Thanks guys! :-)
Not entirely sure what it's all about... but the instructions are clear. :) (Louis Wu 14:34:19 UTC) (permalink)
Way-cool info about E3 showings
E3 movie content info! We asked Matt Soell if he could give us a little taste of what was coming this week, and here's what he said:
There were plans to dole out a teaser trailer of what will be shown at E3, but time and circumstance conspired against us.
Here's an idea of what you might see if you were at E3:
- firefights, complete with suckers getting hit and going down
- vehicles flying, driving, exploding
- ambient life doing ambient life-type stuff
- new indoor spaces
- a tidbit of dialog that is sure to set Hamish Sinclair's head spinning
The above doesn't sound all that interesting in its own right, but trust me: what we show at E3 is the sort of thing that will convert the doubters and impress the people who've been following this game all along but wondering what the hell we've been up to for the last year. It will make the MacWorld NY demo look old. It will make gamers and software store owners giddy. It will make other developers envious. It rocks.

And don't worry... he didn't mean that those of us not going to E3 will NEVER see this stuff... just that there wasn't time to actually get the teaser trailer out the door. It's coming, never fear! (Thanks, Matt!) (Louis Wu 08:53:20 UTC) (permalink)
GameSpot has a Halo preview
GameSpot have an E3 news pagewhich points to a Halo preview. No real new info and they claim to have four new screenshots but they're not new. :( (Crux Fidelis 08:10:04 UTC) (permalink)
New pic from PC Gamer
mad.max, founder of the Halo SETI Marines, has scanned in the small Halo screenshot from the UK edition of PC Gamer. There's also a neat shot of Doug Zartman. Go take a look here. Nice one Max. (Crux Fidelis 07:25:04 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Vault sneaks a peek at Bungie booth
Kudos to luxor, who's put up what must be the first bungie-oriented E3 report so far. A sneak peek at Bungie's booth! Go read about it at Halo Vault. (Louis Wu 01:08:40 UTC) (permalink)
