Marathon-like logo on Commander's hat
The Marathon-Halo link again... silverfox, on the R.net forum, has noticed a Marathon-like logo on the hat in one of the new PC Gamer screens. What's going on here? (Louis Wu 22:31:10 UTC) (permalink)
New Screens at Haloplayers
Haloplayers has posted small scans of the new PC Gamer screenshots... these seem to be screen grabs from the E3 trailer. Take a look! (And when you're done, swing by Rampancy.net, where Ferrex has posted a quick synopsis of the four pics.) (Louis Wu 22:30:44 UTC) (permalink)
Jones FPP quote expanded
Jenkz of Haloplayers has posted the rest of the paragraph that Jason Jones quote came from.
"One fundamental change from the game's initial announcement concerns its viewpoint. While originally it was promised to be a third-person game, now a more hybrid approach has been chosen. The exact ration of the two modes hasn't been finalised - clearly, without using Delta Force's window approach, it's impossible to use a sniper rifle in third-person, while driving the bouncing jeeps without the peripheral vision allowed by third-person makes things less enjoyable - but Jason believes that the balance is moving increasingly towards the first-person model."
That clears things up a bit... but Bungie might take pause at the firestorms raging at sites like Shugashack, Stomped, and Blues News over this quote. (Louis Wu 22:18:01 UTC) (permalink)
Doug says Tools: Yes!
A post on our forum which announces a new mod team for Halo contains this phrase:
"After [...] a e-mail from Doug Zartman saying Halo ships with everything needed to make a mod..."
Bad grammar aside, confirmation that tools WILL ship with Halo is a positive thing. :) (Louis Wu 18:26:19 UTC) (permalink)
Latest PCGamer UK has Halo spread
Haloplayers has gotten their hands on the latest issue of PCGamer UK... with a 5-page Halo spread inside. Four new screenshots, and some interesting info, including this quote:
"Jason [Jones] believes that the balance is moving increasingly towards the first person model."
Now THERE'S a switch. Here's hoping Haloplayers gets permission to post this soon. (Louis Wu 17:32:57 UTC) (permalink)

More grist for the Fan Fiction page
An impressive piece of fiction showed up this morning... took a while to format it, but it was worth it. Take a look at Storm, from Alan Seawright, on our Fan Fiction page! We're loving that the fan fiction section has come alive again. (Louis Wu 16:10:10 UTC) (permalink)
