How much?
There's a new poll up at Bungie.net - they're wondering how much you'd be willing to pay for a Halo competition. Be sure to read the comments of both Jester, over at Psyjnir.com, and Miguel Chavez, on our forum - things to keep in mind before you vote. (And oh, yeah... read Yeroen's comments, too.)

Halo Online puts up Halo 2 article
Word comes from PTM of Halo Online that an article has been put online which combines much of the Halo 2 information that's been disseminated via magazine articles and the like into one source. For now, you can find it on their forum; eventually, it'll be in their Halo 2 section. Update: According to a news article on the front page of Halo Online, this piece was taken down for a variety of reasons, including complaints by 'EGM execs' of plagiarism. Hopefully, it will come back in a different form at some point. (Louis Wu 19:30:21 UTC) (permalink)
Future Bungie games... on a PC, too?
Homelan has put up an interview with Stuart Moulder, general manager of the PC Games division at Microsoft. One question directly concerned Bungie:
HomeLAN - Some people have wondered if Bungie will go back to PC game development under Microsoft. Are there plans for Bungie to make PC only games in addition to Halo and Halo 2?
Stuart Moulder - As for Bungie, they will remain focused primarily on the Xbox. That said, we fully intend to bring their work to the PC as we are doing with Halo.
Now, remember, this is a Microsoft manager, not a Bungie employee... but it's very interesting to hear someone who is in position to know suggest that future Bungie titles will eventually come out for the PC. There has been speculation (some of it by me) that Halo will be the last PC title Bungie does... Moulder implies that this might not be the case. Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi for pointing out the link. (Louis Wu 16:48:08 UTC) (permalink)
Other places...
Couple of links for you today: el_halo_diablo points out The Gamer's Corner, a forum devoted mostly to Halo, and Dinky points out that Halo Juggalo Productions has a new video, called I Wish They Were Porsches, up. (We can't watch it - a Windows Media Player file with a data rate of over 3 mb/sec just will not play on a mac, at all... but it's there, if you want it. 36 mb zipped.)

Um... is that what Jason meant?
Ritalin turns in a "screenshot from an older build of the Halo 2 engine". We've tossed it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 12:51:20 UTC) (permalink)

Hi-Res Halo 2 madness from X02
Whoa. GameKult seems to have put up a collection of very high resolution shots from Halo 2 - all have been seen before, but none at this quality level. (Some have only been seen in leaked magazine scans, as a matter of fact.) There are 18 images, including several renders of the new Warthog, a bunch of bumpmapping demos of the Master Chief, and some hi-res stills from the trailer. These have been posted to several Xbox forums around the web - usually without attribution. Go to the source! (Louis Wu 09:04:15 UTC) (permalink)
