iHalo Marine Corps back online
Thanks to Fire Phoenix, who announced (via our forum) that the iHalo Marine Corps is officially online now. Check it out (fp highly suggests using IE only)! (Louis Wu 20:02:14 UTC) (permalink)
R.net's forum gets overhauled
Rampancy.net has switched over to the new forum Ferrex has been working on for a couple of weeks. Looks a lot like the old forum, but 1) it's MUCH faster, and 2) it's much more configurable. And 3) (actually the most important, for some of us) it's very searchable. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 10:49:35 UTC) (permalink)
Halo-Australia's short story contest gets celeb judges
Hey, cool! A couple of days ago, we mentioned Halo-Australia's short story contest... seems they've gotten a couple of celebrity judges for this thing! Matt Soell of Bungie and Steve Brown of PCGamer UK will be rating your work. Nice going, guys! (And that's THREE news items today that mention Matt. Hmm...) (Louis Wu 04:05:17 UTC) (permalink)
Matt's Halo update, at R.net this time
This week's Halo update is over at Rampancy.net... not even on their forum. (Has Matt been reading the oni.bungie.org forum recently?) The news is, there isn't much news... although they're putting bullets back into the game. (We're happy, how about you?) Thanks, Matt, for keeping to your weekly schedule! Matt's Halo update, at R.net this time (Louis Wu 03:43:57 UTC) (permalink)
Matt clarifies the makeup of the Halo team
A week ago, Matt Soell posted an update on the state of Halo, and in it, he said (among other things)
- Jason is splitting his time between AI work and story work with Jaime and John.
John? Who's John? Well, we followed up, and Matt was kind enough to fill us in on the newest members of the Halo dev team.
John Howard is a new guy. He was part of FASA when they came over, and we kinda stole him away.
The rest of the new people are as follows:
- Ed Smith (art)
- Bernie Freidin (code)
- Stephen Okasaki (job unspecified)
Konrad Shirinian is no longer part of the team, and Stefan Sinclair is now a part of the online team (although he's currently on loan to the Oni team... which is interesting, since Oni doesn't have an online component any more...). There are lots of other new people at Bungie right now who AREN'T working on Halo; the whole organization is growing. Thanks for the update, Matt! (The rest of the Halo team were delineated by Matt at MacWorld SF almost a year ago.) (Louis Wu 00:01:00 UTC) (permalink)
