I.M. Banks gets cyclical with T.S. Eliot
Hamish Sinclair notices a nice little bit of cyclicism in Iain M. Banks' Culture novel. The title of his latest book, Look To Windward, comes from a T.S. Eliot poem called "The Waste Land"... and this particular passage was quoted at the start of Banks' first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas. (Just to try and tie it all into Halo, another T.S. Eliot quote appears in the Cortana Letters.) Nice spotting, Hamish! (Louis Wu 20:32:47 UTC)

Doug confirms that second face is Shikai
In the midst of the chaos, info. While we let whatever's happening at the Core take its course, we'd like to pull out one nugget from the wreck that is the forum. Char the Pirate passed along that Doug Zartman confirmed that the sniper in the GameCenter shots is Shikai Wang, not Doug himself. The actual quote, on the off chance that all info at the Core is lost, was this:
In a letter to doug telling him what I liked about the shot i mentioned the snipers face (I congratulated him on it). He replied with this, "Thanks! I'd love to take the credit, but I gotta tell you (assuming you're talking about the Gamecenter screens) that that's a pic of Chucky and Shikai, one of the Halo artists. All of the team's faces are in one or another build of the game at this point."
Nice to have closure on that one. (Louis Wu 07:38:06 UTC)

Allan Turner says more models to come
Massa, from Halo Network, asked Bungie about the Gamecenter screens. Allan Turner, tech support for Bungie, suggested that these are but a taste of what is to come. Encouraging news! (You can read his whole quote here.) (Louis Wu 05:41:27 UTC)

Gough and who? Zartman or Wang?
Gough and Zartman or Gough and Wang? Have the Halo developers immortalize themselves in Screen 3 from the Gamecenter collection? (Wirehead 09:45:05 UTC)

Earthquake comes online
Earthquake seems to have come online tonight... The Online Tournament for the Halo Community. Joining starts in about 7 months, the first contest is in 10. They've been sponsored by jungle.com, so there should be some good prizes. Now all you gotta do is wait until December... (Louis Wu 00:36:13 UTC)

We got mail a couple of days ago that got us started looking at weapons all over again. What we found surprised us. You can see the details on this page... don't forget to chime in with comments! (This is the most comprehensive weapons analysis to date.) (Louis Wu 16:53:43 UTC)

EVEN MORE SCREENSHOTS. Kudos to Virtu who points out on our forums that GameStar have posted some high quality screenshots from their latest Halo preview. There's a new jeep shot, tank shot, and a half-submerged flyer shot! Go HERE for the screenshots and the full German article. English translation on the way! Thanks Virtu. :) (Wirehead 11:57:05 UTC)

Awesome! Major kudos to Massa of HALO Network who got his hands on a new Halo video from the May issue of German magazine "GameStar". It contains new Halo footage and an interview with Doug Zartman and Marcus Letho. Massa has kindly upped a bunch of screenshots at http://halo.gamesweb.de/gs5_1.shtml. go... go... GO...

In a similar vein, Matt is FAR more forthcoming about the actual state of development in another post. Here's a snippet:
The physics are pretty much done at this point; there will certainly be tweaking done here and there but the bulk of it is ready to go. The bare bones of the story have been etched out for a while but a lot of the intensely detailed bits are still in Jason and Rob's heads. We're still concentrating on building the net game; there are nightly games here at the office. When that's solid, we start serious work on the solo game (certain preparatory work is being done now, but there aren't any complete missions you can play from start to finish).
Read the details for yourself! (Nightly net games... hmm, wonder how hard it would be to break into Bungie headquarters?) (Louis Wu 00:01:00 UTC)

Thanks to Moose-Factory, who posted on our forum about a new GameSpot article/poll on the "Best Action Games of 2000". Currently, with just under 2000 votes, Halo trails TF2 by 8%. See if you can fix that! (The article starts here.) (Louis Wu 01:39:39 UTC)

Seen on Total Halo: A couple of tidbits from gaming mags. PC Gamer says they have new screens, but are waiting to publish... and InciteGames says Bungie has asked them to remove the Incite movie because "development direction on the game has changed and our movie (evidently) no longer accurately represents the game." Nice snag, fAT1! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 19:52:34 UTC)

A small mystery cleared up! Back in January, we reported that a small player nametag ("Husk") had been identified on a screenshot. Today, on our forums, Matt "my ears are burning" Soell identified that tag as a bot designator. Who says we can't get answers to our questions? (Louis Wu 20:10:38 UTC)

Congrats to The Core, who scored (from Bungie) a full-sized version of the screenshot we posted a couple of days ago. They've graciously allowed us to mirror it... you'll find it on our Screenshots page. Does this game make you drool, or what? (Louis Wu 17:44:15 UTC)

New Halo screenshot!!!
Major kudos to Hamish Sinclair, maintainer of the Marathon's Story and Pathways Into Darkness pages, who sent us in a Halo screenshot to celebrate our newly opened Halo FAQ. We've never seen it before but he claims it is old. Check out what he has to say. (Wirehead 13:29:41 UTC)

Nice post on our forums from eva05 concerning the parallels between the Culture novel "Consider Phlebas" by Iain M. Banks and Halo. For more details on Halo and the Culture check out DEHc-3 HALO and the page that started it all Iain M. Banks' "Culture" references in Bungie's Halo. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 19:08:34 UTC)
