Quick turnaround! Haloplayers has gone ahead and posted the scans from the PCGamer UK June issue, all four of which were apparently taken from the E3 Demonstration movie. There will be a quick rundown of what each image is depicting in the forum, so if you're curious as to the events being portrayed, take a look.
The crew over at Haloplayers have obtained some very interesting information regarding a just released Halo preview in PCGamer UK. Once quote they cite stands out in particular:
We were informed by Septimus that Something Awful features Halo as part of its SUMMAR VIDEO GAME PC GAME ROUNDUP!!! Be aware that R.net denies any and all responsibility for mental trauma that may result from clicking on any of these links! That said, view the Halo preview at your own risk. ;-)

We gave you a breather from up to the minute poll reporting but it's time to start tracking Halo's progress again. You'll be happy to know that right now Halo is kickin' ass and takin' names.
Battleground: Halo was the site that brought our community news of a new poll at TiberiumSun.com. Originally Halo was trailing, but after a number of Halofen rallied to the cause it has gained a solid 42.7% against Red Alert 2's 25.2%... on a C&C site no less!
Another site returns from the dead. Stryker, the webmaster for one of the former HaloHQ sites, has passed us some quick information regarding HaloHQ's coming rebirth at Haloplayers:
Cyrus asked a really interesting question in HBO's forum. Paraphrased: How did Halo come to be concieved? After some discussion, Ragnarok raised the thought that maybe Matt would be able to shed some light on the issue. Here's what Matt had to say:
