The E3 coverage page of Bungie.org has a new set of screenshots from Wednesday's FanFestV, as well as mention of three movies they've got of actual Halo gameplay. The third isn't yet available as it is rather large (60MB).
Lophan pointed out in our forum that CNN/fn is doing pretty decent gaming coverage at E3.

Found a blurb at MacGamer that points to an interview with Bungie's Matt Soell (he of Matt's Weekly Update fame). Dane Baker asks a good and lengthy set of questions about HALO, such as:
