[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Michel Bastien of Gearbox Software has once again written in to SketchFactor of Bungie.net, providing information on the status of PC Halo. He weighed in on some of his favorite maps and gametypes (he likes KOTH Gephryrophobia and CTF Timberland, for the record).

SketchFactor also mentioned where PC Halo is on the beta testing front:

This week the Beta 2 discs were sent out to our beta testers, which marks the first time we can start playing with large numbers of players across the internet. Before you ask, sorry, its a closed beta test only for people who are registered as part of Microsoft's beta program. But, the good news is that the game will soon be available for anyone and everyone to enjoy.

Not long to wait now!
