Music info at Halo Vault
Halo Vault posted a little tidbit about the new trailer's music... looks like timing was about the same as for MacWorld NY. ;) (Louis Wu 20:55:14 UTC) (permalink)
Extreme Hardware looks at Halo
Extreme Hardware decided to check out some E3 software... and they were pretty excited about Halo. (Thanks to Steve Campbell for the heads-up.)

Gamefan First Impressions
Gamefan has a small First Impressions piece on Halo, from E3. Not much content... but it's nice to know that even jaded reviewers can be wowed. :) (Thanks to Platon for the heads-up on our forum.) (Louis Wu 17:10:37 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI team stats posted
Dink! Even though the Halo SETI Marines gained back some of their lost units, they still fell a notch to 56 in the Battle of the Teams. The loss of Redhook hit hard... with his 202 units, they would have passed the Israliens by now. Who else is moving? Check the 24 hour stats! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 14:34:45 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Booth pics at MacCentral
E3 Bungie booth pics. Kudos to Tomeone for pointing us to two Bungie booth pics at MacCentral. Here they are:
1. Giant Halo poster outside the Bungie booth
2. The line for the Halo movie
Thanks Tomeone. :) (Louis Wu 10:51:12 UTC) (permalink)
E3 report on Halo from IMG
Inside Mac Games have an E3 report on Halo. Here's an interesting piece:
Doug Zartman cleared up a few issues for us - when it comes to vehicles, you mount just by walking up and pressing an assigned key. Where you stand next to the vehicle when you press that key determines what position you take (gunner, driver, shotgun seat.) He confirmed that you would be able to play as either human or Covenant in multiplayer games, and of course as any combination therof.
They also claim to have new screenshots but they're not new. :( (Louis Wu 09:13:27 UTC) (permalink)
Matt says "Don't make me kick your ass"
Matt Soell lays down some home tru7hs on our forum about Halo's release date, sandwiches, Ronald McDonald, and sex. Yes all in ONE forum post. You best read it if you think Halo won't be released for another two years! (Wirehead 08:05:14 UTC) (permalink)
E3 Halo tidbit on player controls
Nemesis offers us an E3 Halo tidbit on our forums about player controls from talking to Diana Donohue and Joe Staten of Bungie software. Thanks Nemesis. (Wirehead 07:58:32 UTC) (permalink)
Gamecenter E3 review posted
Bam! Matt Hilliard strikes again. Even before there was time to post his first tip, we got a second one... this time about a Gamecenter review. Matt points out a passage that either means the reporter goofed (my guess), or that the 'new' Marine isn't the ONLY marine:
Just as a Covenant alien moves in for the kill, the primary Halo soldier (the one clad in the gold armor and shown in most of the released screen shots), comes upon the scene and takes out the alien.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? (Thanks again, Matt!) (Louis Wu 00:10:45 UTC) (permalink)
E3 Halo report at GameSpot UK
Thanks to Matt Hilliard, who pointed out that GameSpot UK has an E3 Halo report. Not long, and mostly covered already, but the author's enthusiasm is to be commended. (Louis Wu 00:05:37 UTC) (permalink)
