[image:4247 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]French game site GameKult.com put up a bunch of Halo screenshots, and HBO's Louis Wunoticed. They're in the PC Halo Gallery now.

[image:4044 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Bungie's own SketchFactor is looking for your questions to prepare one final, massive, be-all, end-all PC Halo Update. There's a forum thread over in the HBO forum where you can submit your question.

[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]The Adrenaline Vault has interviewed Gearbox's Randy Pitchford (do they let this guy do anything but interview anymore?) on PC Halo. He highlighted the work done on multiplayer, as well as on options for customization:

[image:4203 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Mi|amber over at RadiativeNZ has a preview of PC Halo-- or perhaps, more appropriately, a review of the Halo PC Beta 1.5 he has (we won't ask where he got it, we're sure it's legitimate). Most of the information isn't new, but he did have this to say on the controls issue:

[image:4187 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Gearbox Software has put up another new exclusive screenshot of PC Halo, this time a shot from the multiplayer map Boarding Action. We've added it to our PC Halo Gallery.

[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Along with the screenshots of Sapien, Gearbox also put up a Halo Editing FAQ. The most important bit (so far) is here:

The current plan is to have the Halo PC Editing Kit or at least the initial phase of the kit released very soon after Halo PC appears on store shelves.

Be sure to check it out if you're planning on trying your hand at making Halo maps, or if you're just curious. Or bored. Or whatever.

[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Let the rampant speculation begin. The item countdown on the Gearbox projects page, which temporarily reversed itself earlier, is now gone entirely.

Does that mean there are no more items? Does it mean Golden Master? Does it mean nothing at all?

Time will tell.

[image:4174 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Gearbox has posted a screenshot of the Halo Editor, called Sapien. Dolbex, who has been testing PC Halo, described the program as easy to use over at his site, Been Mawed.

We've created a subgallery for screenshots of Sapien and added this shot.

[image:4108 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]In addition to the new releases and new additions, Project Magma has announced two upcoming projects. Both are still early in production and have no release date as yet.

WWIIi is to be a port of the WWII: Recon plugin by Santa's Head to Myth 3. It should be available "in a few months".

[image:4108 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Three new projects for Myth II: Soulblighter have now been completed by Project Magma.

[image:4040 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Attempting to move as quickly as possible to squash bugs in PC Halo, an unidentified Gearbox programmer accidentally moved faster than the speed of light, creating a wormhole in spacetime that caused time to run backwards. The result is that the remaining items list has now increased to 2, instead of one. It is unclear whether the bug has itself traveled backwards in time to before it was fixed, or if the world traveled around it.

[image:4140 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Another PC Halo preview has gone up, this time at Entertainment Depot, although the source (Louis Wu) is the same as always. The preview had screenshots with it, which we've put in the usual place.

Gearbox's latest featured screenshot of PC halo features a motley collection of vehicles on Blood Gulch; Scorpions, Banshees, Warthogs and Ghosts. We've added it to our PC Halo Gallery.

A whole bunch of new vids have cropped up in the past few days, most of which were pointed out by Louis Wu at HBO.

• GameSpy has a 141 mb video of PC Halo multiplayer action... but you have to be a member to see it.
• Master Chief Casting Call is a humorous vid from the guys at TruthandReconciliation.com; it's also mirrored by Tec[H]noGeeK.
• UNSC.net has a new video series by Ctrl Alt Delete Productions; the first installment is called The Beginning Of The End - Intro (catchy).
• GameSpot has five new PC Halo vids, about 65 mb in all, but only available to subscribers.
