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:
Noct has delivered! A fairly large scan, but very true to the image in the magazine, this image from the July issue of Incite magazine gives us the best look yet at the picture that graced Bungie's E3 booth.
Noctavis, who is slaving over a hot scanner as we speak, has happened upon a Halo item in the July issue of IncitePC magazine. Consisting of a shot of the E3 banner and a quick blurb about the game, it doesn't contain much in the way of new information, but we should have that scan posted as soon as possible. Stay tuned...
Well Rounded Entertainment have released their awards for the best games of E3, and Halo's reviewed and listed as a runner-up for Best Action Game. Why didn't it make 1st place? The complaints are familiar ones by now:
Mojo dropped me a little teaser a few minutes ago: You've got a suprise in for you tonight. Well, after a quick surf over to ye olde Halam site I found out that he's revitalized it and plans to keep some funky Halo coverage going for at least the Summer. Halam was one of the very first Blam! sites, along with Blam.Bungie.Org (now HBO) and The Core (now R.net). We welcome Halam back into the pantheon of Halo fan sites. ;-)
