Apparently, the poll attached to the Gamespot Question of the Week article referenced below is turning brothers against each other. In the words of Bungie's Max Hoberman:

Kudos to rojay, who pointed out several mentions of both Halo and Oni in Gamespot's Question of the Week, which asks which upcoming action game the Gamespot editors are most looking forward to. Sure enough, Halo appears right off the bat... looks like we're not the only ones looking forward to it.

Jenkz over at Haloplayers sends word of a new contest and an interesting prize:

This bit of news didn't quite fit as an extra paragraph in the previous post. It's also of interest that fAt1 reported contacting PC Gamer to ask why they hadn't yet supplied a feature on Halo. The person responding told him to look for issue number 83.

Kudos to fAt1 and Total Halo for this bit of news. fAt1 had contacted Incite PC to ask why they were no longer supplying their Halo video feature and received the following reply:

A tip from Case pointing to a news item on Stomped's E3 Site which states that Team Fortress 2, seen by many as one of the games Halo is going to need to compete with (or crush outright ;), will not be making an appearance at E3. TF2 has been taking a bit longer than expected to make it to the market, and one wonders if the E3 absence is another setback...

Something's on the burner at bungie.net, if the hints dropped in yesterday's news are to be believed. Another project in the works, following on the heels of the recently launched Events Calender... another Big C? The hint in question:

An interesting thread in the forum, for those of you looking for something to do on a Friday afternoon while you cool your feet. Think I might make a poll topic of it next week, but in the meantime, what do you think: Halo action figures or Halo-i-o's breakfast cereal? ;)

Wouldn't mind a poster or two myself...
