Thanks to ESiva for pointing out one of Matt's posts at HBO:

Most of us here at Bungie will be heading back to Chicago over the next 48 hours to attend the Lorraine Reyes/Robt. McLees wedding and post-ceremony hoedown. I will be among them.

Consequently there will be no Halo update this week. Sorry about that. Things will be back on schedule next Friday.

Just back from the wilderness, and what do I find in my mailbox? That's right! An opportunity to buy 25 million email addresses for only $99! How could anyone resist? Oh yes, and Bungie's Matt Soell has graciously sent us this week's Halo update:

If you look at the Soffish Webcam right now, you'll see a piece of music entitled Halo Theme. If you actually read it, though, you'll see that it's from a Myth TFL level, namely The Siege of Madrigal. Aw, man...they could have least picked Flight from Covenant... :-)

Thanks to Kalis for mentioning on our forum that the Bungie webcam is currently displaying apparent Sin-O-MatiXXX storyboards. Right now you can see the Pillar of Autumn surrounded by smaller craft, but who knows what might pop up next? Keep watching. We know you have nothing better to do.

This week's Halo update is delivered to the community via Haloplayers! Here's a teaser for you:

We've gotten burned a bit by polls because of some members' uh, exceeding enthusiasm *wink-wink* but perhaps it's time to own another poll? Here's an easy one for us to start with. GameSpot asks: Which Xbox game do you want to see on the PC? Right now, Halo has significant ownage with 79% of the vote, but like the US in Grenada it's time to show everyone that we can still kick some serious butt! Get out there soldier!
