Louis Wu over at Halo.bungie.org alerted us to Matt's weekly Halo update, which this week graces their pages. This week's update is just full of meaty detail, the bulk of which we won't repeat here, you'll just have to go to halo.bungie.org and read the full report.

Here's a tantalizing tidbit, however:

- Jaime is speccing out the various net games as completely as possible. Again, we can't say too much here because who knows how many of them will actually end up in the game. We're trying to cover all the usual bases but there may be some unusual (read: brand new) game types as well. There are also some interesting ideas being tossed around for how to scale net games up for larger numbers of players, though exactly how many players we're talking about is still entirely up in the air.

I'm sure everyone at Bungie is frightened about just how many different ways that one mention of larger numbers of players might be interpreted. Perhaps it's time to head to our forum and take a few doses of your favorite mind altering substance and pontificate on possible Halo netgames.

The update also includes lots of other information about weapons, art, and other stuff, including a new member of the Halo team, producer Rick Ryan. Welcome, Rick!
