Wow. New screenshot at Blue's News. Who said Bungie couldn't do trees? (Louis Wu 22:06:48 UTC)

Top cruncher clocks up 7777th SETI unit, quits.
Hamish calls it quits! In a dramatic countup which started early this morning the Story page's SETI client "Powered by Jjaro tech" clocked up its 7777th SETI units on the very day that the Microsoft-Bungie buyout is announced. Coincidence? We think not. We've also learnt that Hamish doesn't intend to continue crunching SETI units which should be good news for Banzif. The Marathon's Story page lives on though. This is what the page had to say:
Marathon lives on. And the "heart and soul" of the Marathon's Story page is not Bungie but its fans. As long as there are fans there will be a Story page. Veritatem Dies Aperit.
Anyone know what that last bit means? (Ding 20:43:29 UTC)

Ex-Bungie employee opines on our forum
Jonathan Haas, a former Bungie employee (who left a few months ago to join a startup), weighs in on the MS/Bungie firestorm, with some very level-headed views. Worth a read by all... (Louis Wu 00:46:32 UTC)

Orbit's been dead for a while
This has come up a few times, so it bears mentioning here. Orbit, a site which started up in early January, closed its doors on May 2nd, 2000. We neglected to mention the closure on our front page, but we DID move the Orbit link to the Static section at that point. (You can read Haloplayer's news item here.) Unfortunately, Orbit seems to have left a server-side date tag on their main page... so that the date shown above the "Abandoned" message is always close to the current date. This means that folks stumbling across the page read the note, and think Orbit closed yesterday. They didn't. :) Hope this helps. (Louis Wu 13:18:45 UTC)

Lots of German Halo news
Thanks to our HBO offices in Berlin (Germany) we've got some German Halo news for you.
First off HaloNews noted a Halo preview at Krawall Gaming Network. Three pages long and quite detailed but no new screenshots and some are actually scans taken fromHaloplayers. What's Jenkz going to do about that?
Halo Network report a German Halo clan site called DarkCide.
We've also got two new German Halo sites on the register: Halo-Fans and Halo Zone.

Screenshots section updated
Thanks to Joedaphish, who cleaned up our "Bobs in action" shot from a couple of days ago for us. We've posted it (and the other unique PC Gamer screen) in our Screenshots section. Looks nice, Phish! (Louis Wu 03:50:33 UTC)

More Halo in Dutch mag
Over at the Haloplayers general forum, anno domini posts that the July issue of PC Zone Benelux (a Dutch PC gaming mag) contains a four page Halo article, "as well as four previously unreleased and exclusive screenshots, differing from those in the July issue of PC Gamer UK!" We're talking to our agent in Holland about getting hold of a copy of this mag. Stay tuned. (Louis Wu 20:35:36 UTC)

Yes ANOTHER new Halo screenshot
Whoa! The London offices of HBO snagged us a copy of PC Gamer UK July 2000. We're not worthy... we're not worthy! They also scanned in a full page Halo marine pic not previously seen on the net. Go grab it here before we're raided! Much to our amazement they ripped the mag apart to bring you a FULL shot of the Halo "Bobs" in action. Now you can see the unseen left half. It's pretty clear from this scan that the logo on the cap is not a Marathon logo. (Wirehead 14:20:17 UTC)

Marathon-like logo on Commander's hat
The Marathon-Halo link again... silverfox, on the R.net forum, has noticed a Marathon-like logo on the hat in one of the new PC Gamer screens. What's going on here? (Louis Wu 22:31:10 UTC)

New Screens at Haloplayers
Haloplayers has posted small scans of the new PC Gamer screenshots... these seem to be screen grabs from the E3 trailer. Take a look! (And when you're done, swing by Rampancy.net, where Ferrex has posted a quick synopsis of the four pics.) (Louis Wu 22:30:44 UTC)

Latest PCGamer UK has Halo spread
Haloplayers has gotten their hands on the latest issue of PCGamer UK... with a 5-page Halo spread inside. Four new screenshots, and some interesting info, including this quote:
"Jason [Jones] believes that the balance is moving increasingly towards the first person model."
Now THERE'S a switch. Here's hoping Haloplayers gets permission to post this soon. (Louis Wu 17:32:57 UTC)

May and June PCXL text up
For those not up to downloading the large image files of yesterday's PCXL scans, we've transcribed the text from both articles. "Tired of Playing WIth Yourself?" (from the May issue) focuses mainly on multiplayer, while "Mission: 'The Angels Sing'" concentrates on solo play. There were two new screenshots, which can be found in our Screenshots archives (on the Magazine page). (Louis Wu 05:46:16 UTC)

No joy in usenetville
More info on the alt.games.halo newsgroup mentioned by Simon Brownlee... seems someone screwed up royally. There was no proposal posted to alt.config, which means that many newsservers will ignore the group as "unofficial". There's no valid "Approved" line in the newgroup control post (the post that actually starts the group), which means that MOST servers will ignore this group. (We've posted the newgroup control message, as it appeared on Simon's server.) And unfortunately, it means that a sanctioned Halo newsgroup will have to choose a different name than alt.games.halo... since that one is now taken. A great big rasberry to "Toolbox", who did such a wonderful (not!) job with this. On the upside... there's a link to HBO as the place to go for "more information about Halo". ;) (Louis Wu 15:22:05 UTC)

alt.games.halo newsgroup started
A bit earlier than some expected... but an alt.games.halo newsgroup has been started.(It may or may not have propagated to your local server by now... be patient, if it hasn't.) Yet another place to discuss the nooks and crannies of the Halo universe! Thanks to Simon Brownlee for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:03:12 UTC)

Gamersyndicate Halo preview
Gamersyndicate.com has a Halo preview online. No new info (they start with the text from the E3 Halo movie brochure, and move on to some basics about the gaming environment), but the presentation is pretty nice. Worth a look. (Louis Wu 00:11:43 UTC)

Newsweek's Halo coverage
Halo scoop! The May 29 issue of Newsweek arrived... and here's the Halo review, in all its glory. Would you check out the tires on that baby? Just for the fun of it, here's a bigger version of the actual screenshot. Newsweek Online has most of that issue on their website... the only thing they're missing is the E3 article. :( Pax.

New Screenshot from GameStar
Man, this e3 stuff makes us nuts. Somehow, this never made it to our Screenshots page... but GameStar put up an e3 writeup last week that included an not-seen-before-on-the web shot. Very nice pic of the covenant plasma cannon in action. (This WAS published in their print magazine,but hasn't appeared on the web before, except in bootlegged scans.) We'll catch up soon, we promise!
