After making my flyby of the usual gaming sites I discovered that GameSpot has a poll up on their front page:

Major kudos to SiliconDream and CyberBob for the formidable and apparently spontaneous article on the physics of the Halo system posted in the forum earlier today.

The article covers in great detail the (believed) orbital characteristics of the Halo system, from Lagrange points to the weather on the Halo itself. A terrific, long read (with pictures!), perhaps even comparable to a Noctavis style post. ;)

Not a major news item, but noteworthy if you're new to the Halo scene and wondering about the whole first vs. third person perspective debate. XZCion has ventured into the old forum archives and picked out some rather ancient perspective debate threads, listing a handful for people who weren't around to witness their creation.

Recoil of Halo Skin Surge sends word that they've posted an article examining that oft seen star of the Halo vehicles, the jeep:

A pair of interesting items over at halo.bungie.org today. Foretelling great things for Halo at E3, Bungie's Matt Soell has remarked in a forum post that the E3 showing this year should surpass even the MWNY unveiling last year. Interesting, especially given the enthusiastic response to Halo last year at MWNY.

We've reached the fifth and last day of the Total Halo interviews. The last question being:

It looks like HBO is on a roll today. They've done done an interview with Mike Salmon, PCXL's Editor-in-Chief, regarding the Halo feature in their May issue.

Well that's what Ian McConville did, and his creations are pretty wicked. HBO posted a special page to show off some of his work. Good Job, Ian.
