There will always be more prey.
Captain Spark pinned down another bunch of dialogue snippets - this time exclusively Brutes. Grab them from his website, or browse them in our Dialogue Databank. (There's one I can't really decipher... it actually sounds like 'sentient chariot', but that makes almost no sense, unless the brute was riding Spark around the level...) Update: LeFishy suggests 'Vegetarian!', which sounds very right to me. (Louis Wu 16:21:12 UTC) (permalink)
Slogging Through The Mud
Paul Davies turned in a new image yesterday - and he's back today with ANOTHER piece. This one doesn't have the usual polished feel his creations generally exude... but as he says in his comments, the roughness conveys nicely the difficulty of the Chief's situation. Go look!

Halo Positioning
Jillybean snagged a nice analysis post off our forum yesterday, for the Halo Story Page - a polished look at the effects of knocking out Installation 04 on the Halo network. I've HTML-ized Bronzite's PDF for easier online reading. Check it out. (Louis Wu 14:35:08 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Xbox/PC interplay - probably not
GamePro talked to Kevin Unangst, Microsoft's director of global marketing for Games for Windows, and Chris Donahue, director of business development for Games for Windows, about Halo 2 for Vista (thanks, 3Suns) - and Engadget talked to Shane Kim, General Manager of Microsoft Game Studios. Beyond the known tidbits (Halo 2 will be released a little beyond Vista's launch, a map editor/modding system will be bundled, etc), there was a bit of information about Xbox 360/PC cross-platform interoperability... and the word is rather bleak. Unangst said that making the game cross-compatible would require "somebody to re-code the Xbox version", which was unlikely. Donahue said something similar, but was a bit more optimistic... but Kim told Engadget flat-out no:
Will Halo 2 have any interoperability when it's released for Vista... ?
No, we're just bringing over the Halo 2 experience over to Vista. It will support the online services though, that we're bringing over to Windows Vista.
I suppose it was a lot to hope for... but it's probably better to be aware that it won't happen than to be horribly disappointed when they don't succeed in making it happen. (Louis Wu 10:35:21 UTC) (permalink)
