More Halo in Dutch mag
Over at the Haloplayers general forum, anno domini posts that the July issue of PC Zone Benelux (a Dutch PC gaming mag) contains a four page Halo article, "as well as four previously unreleased and exclusive screenshots, differing from those in the July issue of PC Gamer UK!" We're talking to our agent in Holland about getting hold of a copy of this mag. Stay tuned. (Louis Wu 20:35:36 UTC) (permalink)
German PC Games translation posted
The July 2000 issue of PC Games also contains a Halo article, and Christoph Schmidt was kind enough to scan it in for us. We don't have permission yet to post it... but since there are no new pictures anyway, we're going to give you the translated text now, courtesy of Harry "Halo, Halo, Halo... I want my ONI!" Al-Shakarchi. Not much new info here, but another estimation of an early-next-year release date, and some nice descriptions of the graphics. ;) Thanks, Christoph and Harry!

Story page analyzes PC Gamer
The Marathon's Story page could be renamed the "PC Gamer analysis page" today... lots of good stuff from the new article. Great quotes, and a better scan from Jenkz of the Marathon-like symbol on the commander's hat. Hamish has out-Haloed us! (Louis Wu 19:16:25 UTC) (permalink)
PC Gamer UK Highlights
mad.max has posted some of the highlights from the PC Gamer UK article to the R.net forum. Lots of useful little snippets... worth a read! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 19:10:47 UTC) (permalink)
Total freedom in Halo is impossible!
Total freedom is impossible? According to a forum postby Bagman PC Gamer UK is claiming that Bungie have decided that total freedom in Halo is impossible. Here's the full quote as posted by Bagman:
"Bungie have decided that 'Total Freedom' is impossible, so have to border their levels in natural ways (for example, mountain ranges or the edge of the ringworld)."

PC Gamer UK says March 01 too
The March 2001 date mentioned by Take 2 has been echoed by PC Gamer UK, who included an article entitled "Slippage Central" in the latest issue (page 37):
Despite our 'Done When It's Done' column reading "April" for Halo last month, a release date for Bungie's handsome project has never been particularly clear. But Kieron did some poking around with his investigating stick at E3 and discovered that not only is the official release date now around Christmas, but that the likelihood of Bungie actually hitting it is minimal. An insider source says, confidently, March next year.
Looks like bad news for those expecting Halo in their Christmas stockings! (Louis Wu 16:29:36 UTC) (permalink)
Take 2 says March 2001
Massa, from Halo Network, sends word that he contacted Take 2 recently to clarify the GameStar reported release date of "early 2001", and they told him that the current date was March 2001. Ouch! (Louis Wu 16:28:34 UTC) (permalink)
Yes ANOTHER new Halo screenshot
Whoa! The London offices of HBO snagged us a copy of PC Gamer UK July 2000. We're not worthy... we're not worthy! They also scanned in a full page Halo marine pic not previously seen on the net. Go grab it here before we're raided! Much to our amazement they ripped the mag apart to bring you a FULL shot of the Halo "Bobs" in action. Now you can see the unseen left half. It's pretty clear from this scan that the logo on the cap is not a Marathon logo. (Wirehead 14:20:17 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI 24 hour team stats posted
No movement by the Halo SETI Marinesin the SETI league. We keep crunchin' but so dothe other teams. It's tough in the top 50. Team memberships still remains at 404 marines. Banzif and SkyHook take top credits again. Full details on the 24 hour stats page. (Wirehead 14:15:15 UTC) (permalink)
Marathon... or not?
Came in last night... but we were slacking. Joseph Haake did a bit of image enhancement work on the Bob commander's hat, posted yesterday at Haloplayers. It's his opinion that the symbol there is not the Marathon symbol. He reminds us, though, that it was a small image, seen from only one angle. Decide for yourselves!

Wallpaper page updated
Another pair of screens from Private Meowman... quite the prolific screenmaker! You'll find them on our Wallpaper page. (Louis Wu 03:27:36 UTC) (permalink)
Halo-based Fantasy
A "fantasy-based siege warfare title" based on the Halo engine? That's what NextGen says Bungie is working on, according to ZeroRage on our forum. Interesting stuff... (Louis Wu 03:05:41 UTC) (permalink)
