The gXp page has posted a pair of new screenshots of Halo from Bungie which is just about impossible to get to right now. Why is the page so clogged? Well just look at these things: [shot 1] [shot 2] [shot 3] [shot 4] [shot 5] [shot 6] [shot 7] [shot 8]

Halo Preview

People just can't get enough of Bungie's incredible looking game Halo, as Gamespot has a new preview as part of their "games that will change gaming" feature.

Halo POV

Voodoo Extreme has an email up that one of their readers got from Bungie's Allan Turner on why Halo is a 3rd person game:

>>Why is the game HALO a 3rd person view only? please give one good reason. PLEASE MAKE IT A FIRST PERSON VIEW!!! we don't like tomb raider controls. thanks.

Because for the level of environmental control and interaction you'll need int he game. It is nothing like Tomb Raider so please don't judge camera controls you've never experienced or used until you use them. The things you can do with the camera and the POVs that can be obtained are what makes this gmae what it is. If you want and like Quake 3 then I'm happy for you but that's not our game. Our game is Halo and it has a camera control that you have to expereince before you love or hate it.

You didn't miss that new screenshot yesterday, did you?

Halo Producer Quits

Oct 20, 1999 8:05pm CST tags: Bungie, Halo
With all the positive press Halo was getting something was bound to happen. It looks like the producer/creative director has quit the project. Check out this post made on the Bungie messageboard:

It is with some sadness that I write to tell you that Friday, October 22, will be my last day working for Bungie. I have received an opportunity to finish my schooling at the University of North Carolina, where I will be allowed to write an honors thesis and (assuming it’s impressive enough ;), graduate with high honors. In the coming week, I’ll be tying up some loose ends, cleaning up, and saying goodbye.

When I rejoin the forums this weekend or next Monday, it will be as a fan - just like you. I am no longer Producer or Creative Developer and am no longer a representative of Bungie Software. This is important to note if you continue writing to me.

I brought this over from the earlier post: GameSpot UK has a new preview of Halo from Bungie which seems to be really good at getting people all excited even though it's a ways away from release. Just check out these screenshots and you'll see: [shot1] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] and the CGW shots: [shot1] [shot2] [shot3]. GSUK's preview has a few new shots of their own.
