Halo at E3 - rumor acknowledged.
Gah. I wanted to avoid this altogether, because it seems like it's better just to see what happens... but when rumors start showing up on CNN, you gotta pay 'em SOME attention. Lots of places have been hinting that E3 could be the first place where new Halo footage is seen this year - and now Chris Morris' Game Over column joins the list of hinters.
Expect to see the first footage from the next installment of "Halo," which might shift some focus away from the competition. (The game won't hit stores until 2007, however.)
'Expect' might be too strong an imperative... but it's certainly possible. Anyway, I've now acknowledged the rumor, so any more emails concerning it (from any site) will be blissfully ignored. (Thanks, ICDedPpl.) (Louis Wu 20:10:26 UTC) (permalink)

Soundtrack Contest Voting Now Open
At long last, the public voting phase for the 7 on the 7th Halo 2 Soundtrack v2 contest is open! (Huge apologies for the ridiculous delay.) The bungie.org admin staff has taken the 250 entries, removed the invalid ones, and pared the remainder down to a manageable 49 images; your job, as visitors, is to look through these, and pick your favorite 7. Later this week (or possibly this weekend), we'll tally up the totals, and announce the winners; 7 lucky entrants will receive a signed copy of the Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 2 (officially on sale TODAY!). Once the winners are announced, we'll also put up a page containing ALL the (valid) entries, so you can rant at us about how bad our taste is. For now, though... GO VOTE! (Please take the time to read the initial page; there's some important info in there. Thanks.) Update: Bah, I'd left the directory password-protected accidentally. Fixed now. Thanks, Teo.
