I've got a few more items to share with you this morning. Take a gander:

• GamePro - Their own hands-on preview. As with other articles, the presence of a secondary melee capability is confirmed. (Thanks goes to both HBO and BloodBeard for informing us of this article)

We've got a few more Gamestock-related Halo items to report to you this morning:

For those of you who aren't frequent forum visitors here, I thought I'd pop up a quick notice. I'm not usually one to toot my own horn so shamelessly, but I slapped up some impressions (actually recreated from a post lost when our script burped) after studying the newest nine screen shots. Others have had fascinating items to add to the pot, and so it has become an all-around interesting discussion. Check it out - maybe you'll have something to add!

Does anything else need be said? ;-)

Well, not much to talk about this week. No sir. Howzabout we just skip to the interesting bits?

- Passengers in the jeep now take damage when shot.

- Things other than bipeds (like bullets) now collide properly with two-sided surfaces (like glass).

- Chris Hughes is adding some nice detail to the Marine head permutations.

Pitiless #@L# shared the following e-mail, which he reports having received from a Bungie employee.

Regarding our item yesterday on the individual named IO-Stream , Matt Soell had a bit of a reply for his second quote, regarding a supposed Halo server program:

What the poster on IGN says goes totally against what we've been saying internally, and I really doubt a Bungie person said what he claims they said.

GameSpot UK contacted us with news of an exclusive interview with Jason Jones. During the discussion, Jason reaffirms PC and Mac support, as well as Bungie's commitment to multiplayer.

I'm happy to report that HBO found a somewhat more positive assessment of Halo in MSXbox's own post-Gamestock article.
