Kudos to mad.max, who posted a small scan taken from the recent PCGamer UK Halo preview. While it's not terribly informative, it is a neat shot, and a great photo of Bungie's Doug Zartman to boot. I do wonder what weapon the marine is firing one handed in the background, though...

Have we got a treat for you! Jaime Case Griesemer, Senior Designer for Bungie's Halo project, has consented to answer some questions about himself and about Halo. For those of you who don't know much about Jaime, he was a member and well-respected webmaster in the Bungie fan community for some time before going to work for Bungie. Here's a small excerpt from the interview:

A trusted source who wishes to remain anonymous found something in the recent PC Gamer (UK edition) Halo preview that he didn't think jived with previous information:

I just got the June issue of PC Gamer (The US edition) yesterday and it includes a feature article that previews several games that are guaranteed to renew your passion for gaming this coming year.

Back to the nooz! Caught tonight at HBO was a thread started by a reader who wanted to know what the minimum modem connection speed will be for Halo. Matt Soell of Bungie posted the following reply:

With the caveat that we haven't tested Halo netplay on anything but our internal LAN, so nothing I say about this can be absolutely certain:

I suspect 56K modems will be the way to go for those who are dialing in.

Kudos to mad.max, who (with much sweat and blood) tracked down and transcribed portions of the Halo preview in PCGamer UK that we less fortunate North Americans might have a peek at it. A few highlights provided for us from the article:

Kudos to Freewill for noticing a few questions that were asked and then apparently answered by Bungie at the German is this old news? New Halo info

The guys at Haloplayers report that PCGamer UK issue out today has some interesting information in it, but only a single new screenshot. A bit of a letdown, but with E3 mere days from now, we're certain to have plenty of screens and info to make up for it. Stay tuned...
