Just kind of a non-update update, since news is slow.
Matt popped onto the HBO forum recently to respond to continuing questions about the PC and Macintosh versions of Halo and said:
We have nothing to say about PC/Mac Halo...yet. But cool stuff is happening, and the time when we can discuss it is not that far away. Trust me: you will dig it.
Prepare to dig.

and bring some hip waders
I'd been following Matt's updates since a year before the release of the Xbox version and kept searching for info afterward and there was nothing. Its all been talk. so the only thing I think that I'll be digging... is out of all the BS that they are shoveling.
Just tell me when it WILL be released. Not when it should be or how great it might be when it is. Bungiesoft just doesnt have any credibility when comes to timely predictions. Even if they say it will be released on a given date, I wont believe it until it is on the shelf of a local store.
I will give Bungie this, They are trying to give us information. I truly miss Matt's weekly updates. Its a shame that Microsoft bought Bungie. I bet MACies & PCers would have been playing coop a year ago if it werent for xbox.

In reply to: and bring some hip wadersBungie's put out the X-box version, which is undeniable proof that the concept works, the content's complete, and that the tech exists in one language or another. (what does the Xbox use? VisBasic(rap)?)
By comparison, WarIII is still in beta, even though it's the first new sequel for the WC series in ages, and the next Duke Nukem has been tagged "Whenever".
All ya gotta do now is wait.

I think your skepticism at this point is entirely unfounded. You say you won't believe it until it is on the shelf. This seems to imply that at some point in the past, Bungie announced a game and then failed to release it.
This has NEVER happened. If PC/Mac Halo never ships, it will be the first game Bungie has ever canceled.
Various parts of the Myth and Marathon sagas were late. Everybody's software is late.
But having released software later than expected in the past is no justification for saying that you don't believe PC/Mac Halo will be released.
If you're saying you're not interested in hearing anything other than a release date, that's your prerogative. But nearly every week on the HBO forum somebody asks if the game will still be released, or alleges that they have inside info that it's been cancelled. Matt chimes in to stop the rumor mill from going wild, even if he can't give a precise release date yet.
