Our congratulations to former-Bungian Nathan Bitner, who announced an impending wedding (among other things) in halo.bungie.org's forum. Best wishes to the new couple, and enjoy your freedom while you can Nathan. ;)
Of course, no such post would be complete without a Halo teaser of some sort... Nathan alludes to new screenshots and non-placeholder trees , even suggesting that the longstanding problems of trees in such an engine has been solved. Hmm... have we only been seeing temporary trees thus far?
