halo.bungie.org has posted a pair of scans from the December issue of PC Zone magazine, reproducing the two page Halo preview in all its glory. While the screenshots are old ones, there are some very interesting tidbits in the text... crumbling buildings , for example. Time to update the FAQ again...
The December issue of Macworld has a brief Halo teaser in its Games Hall of Fame section, and fully expects Halo will make the 2000 lineup. A quote from the article:
Bungie's Halo, a beautifully rendered third-person war game, is on track to be everyone's game of the year--regardless of platform--in 2000.
The praise just keeps mounting, doesn't it? No new information, though... even the trailer on the CD is the same updated MWNY demo.
As promised, Ymir has delivered a few more scans from the Next Generation December issue Halo preview. New shots, as far as I can tell... hopefully, Bungie will have higher quality versions of these posted soon.
Kudos again to Ymir (who pointed out the article) for supplying scans of the two page spread in the December issue of Next Generation magazine. Enjoy:
Kudos to Chris, who sends word of a new Halo preview in the December issue of Next Generation:
Marathon's Story has some interesting observations on the whole ring motif in Halo, complete with screenshots and ties to Marathon. Definitely worth taking a look at... good food for thought. And if you're having trouble getting there (might be just me), try the b.org mirror instead.
After agonizing over an acceptable topic, and failing to find one, I've opened the poll for this week with one of my reserves: what game do you think you'll be playing most between now and Halo? Series are clumped together to reduce the number of choices a bit, and mods should be considered part of that series as well.
Just a curiosity poll this time... cast those votes, and perhaps help guide the undecided among us. And no smashing the poll, you Myth fiends...
After literally two years of campaigning without success, it looks like I'll finally be getting a proper, unlimited connection soon. As of December 1st, I'll be able to do a bit more than hit and run updates, which means I might actually be able to keep up with the news.
Funny how a change in internet policy is the only thing on my calender in felt pen, highlighted. Of course, I'll have plenty of time for other pursuits when Y2K brings about the end of civilization... hunting, scavenging, cannibalism...
