XBO365 dishes up Xbox commercial rumors
Hawk, from Halo Center, sends along an interesting rumor from XBO365. Seems one of the commercials for the Xbox to be shown during the Superbowl (January 28, 2001) will focus on Halo:
The second commercial pushes a lot of Promo for Halo but I don't have the details on that one yet. I'm told they do half of it as if the viewer was actually in the game and looking around at the action around. Stuff crashing and blowing up all around - characters talking to you and getting shot etc.
There's been no official confirmation of this, so it's easily just a rumor... but hey, January 28 is less than 4 weeks away! (Louis Wu 22:03:42 UTC) (permalink)

Second Covenant rifle, revisited
Wow... you think you've gone through every screenshot ever released a million times... you think there's nothing left to find. You're wrong. :) Khaine pointed out to us that the second covenant rifle, which has been discussed recently on our forum, has, indeed, been seen fired... almost 8 months ago! We've put together a quick page to show what's currently known about this gun (minus the four frames in the Incite movie - check our Weapons Rundown for details on that). Thanks for the heads-up, Khaine! (Louis Wu 16:02:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Orbit redesigned
Xerxes writes to tell us that Halo Orbit (the German one) has been totally redesigned. It's utterly broken in NS... but looks quite nice in IE. Go and take a look! (Louis Wu 11:04:29 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie hires a fan artist?
Rony Sanchez writes to tell us that Compuexpert.com, a software retailer, lists a Halo release date of 5/29/01. While this would normally not be worth a mention (release dates that don't come from Bungie aren't worth the pixels it takes to display them), this one's intriguing because of the Halo page itself. In the bank of 10 screenshots used to display the glory of Halo, they've used 9 of the original screenshots... and this image, a fan-created, Bryce-based piece of art originally visible on our Miscellaneous Art page! Guess Ken should feel flattered... (Louis Wu 09:49:33 UTC) (permalink)
