MS Jolt went to E3 and played a whole-lotta XBox and they certainly didn't overlook HALO. Staff member Will White was impressed with the solo play, but like so many, was very disappointed with the multiplayer performance:

GameSpot posted ten HALO videos taken on May 16, which was the first day of E3 (press only). Check 'em out. You'll need either Real Player or Windows Media Player (both available for Mac and PC) to view them.

MacGamer had a little chat with Bungie at E3 about HALO and its status as a computer game. They've basically re-enforced the fact that HALO for the XBox is their primary focus and that computer versions would follow once the XBox's is complete.

There are reports all over the Internet of a new HALO movie at XBox.com. I haven't figured out what's going on, but the link doesn't show up for half of the people. In any case, enter this URL in your copy of Windows Media Player and enjoy:
