Eek, I'm a bit late, but it's out.
- Speaking even more of vehicles: if they happen to be resting on a glass surface, and you blow the glass surface to smithereens, the vehicle now falls. Yeah, it's what you'd expect, but it wasn't working before and now it does.- Multiplayer UI is progressing steadily, and the team has been tweaking the rocket launcher and sniper rifle in multiplayer games.

Recently some fans of the Halo Updates suggested I return to the old days of prefacing each update with a witty comment. I don't know that my prefaces ever qualified as witty, but I aim to please. I thought I would share some of the witticism generated at Bungie TestMeister Ryan Hylland's Fourth of July party, but quips like Stop punching me! only prove I'm no Oscar Wilde. Perhaps it's best to head straight into the update:
If you are still looking for a place to download the HALO GameStar video, there have been a few more spotted by HBO:
Saw this over at BattleGround: Halo-- the Gamestar movie has been mirrored at Fileplanet. Go get it. After I get mine, of course... wouldn't want you to slow down my download. :)
Thanks to Scott for seeing that HBO has setup a few more mirrors for the GameStar video. Grab it from here:

A short while ago, HBO got a hold of the HALO video included on last month's GameStar disc, but they couldn't post it until that issue was off the stands. Well, that time has arrived and the video is ready to hit a connection near you. As of this writing, there is only one host for this video, which is not enough. There will be thousands and thousands of people trying to get it, so numerous mirrors will be required.
Matt's HALO update is at HBO this week. Some highlights:
- If you've seen Saving Private Ryan and remember the way exploding shells would blast huge clouds of sand into the sky, Shiek has ensured you'll experience a pleasant sense of deja vu when playing Halo- We've got the first in-engine cutscene up and running, which showcases our facial emotion system quite nicely. Faces in Halo look and move much better than they ever did before.
