Matt discusses E3 movie
Matt's been responding to questions about the E3 Halo trailer in a couple of threads at halo.bungie.org. On the subject of why there was relatively little blood and gore shown, he said:
Rampancy
Death by intelligence.

Butcher expounds on Oni's AI
Chris Butcher, former star of the Bungie fan community and current employee at Bungie West, posted on Oni Central's forum yesterday on the subject of Oni's AI. One interesting thing he had to say concerning the realism of Oni's enemies:
Fanfest on August 19
On the Bungie Sightings page. Freewill has announced a fanfest on Saturday, August 19, 4-9 PM at Club-i in San Francisco (the same place we had the fanfest for the last MWSF). Focus will be on Myth, although if people bring the proper equipment a Marathon LAN could be set up.
If you intend to come, please RSVP in the appropriate thread on the Bungie Sightings forum so Free can start a headcount. The club has a $7 per person cover charge, so start panhandling now!
Bungie torn apart by bitter infighting
Well, not just yet. But the beginning of the end has arrived. View the horrifying evidence in this thread at halo.bungie.org. They're tearing each other apart like jackals, man! Jackals!
RHL Back in Action!
All-personnel broadcast: Rampancy HL is up! I've got a backlog of new accounts to add, so bear with me. Carry on.
Bungie's CG division confirmed
Matt Soell has confirmed on the halo.bungie.org forum that Bungie's creating a new division to do the movies for their games.
Essentially, Joseph and Marty will be heading up a new team devoted to making cutscenes, trailers and the like (both in-engine and CGI) for Bungie titles.This is cool because they get to work on them year-round as opposed to doing it all in the two weeks before E3. I'm expecting an increase in quality AND quantity.
Bungie Love
The Marathon's Story Page informs us that Robert Mclees and Lorraine Reyes have become engaged. For those who don't know, Rob first rose to fame as a Marathon artist and author of the Nar Chronicles; Lorraine originally worked in Bungie's now-defunct marketing department but has stayed on post-buyout in a development capacity.
Congratulations to you both. See, you nobly sacrifice yourself with a grenade to keep a dozen Covenant soldiers from chasing your buddy, and the girls just swoon....
RHL Down
Most of you who frequent RHL probably already know that it's down. I've just gotten the scoop from the SysAdmin - there was a power outage at the site. Unfortunately, Fractalus is out of town, exhibiting some of his artwork. The web server (on which R.net runs) returned to service very quickly, but the separate box which handles RHL and some other functions will be down until at least Tuesday evening. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.
Bungie Jumping
Old skule Halo website junkies will remember Halam, one of the original half dozen sites to see serious work done on them. However, Mojo has decided to lay that site to rest for good, but has started something new in it's place:
Oni planned to ship in October
As seen on the Oni Central forum:
Pico posted an email he'd sent to Gathering of Developers with some questions on Oni's publishing and marketing, along with a response from GOD's Robert Westmoreland. Among other things, the response affirms that GOD plans to release Oni in October (which again suggests simultaneous release with the PS2).
Read the post for yourself.
