Kalo let us know about this forum post on the Bungie.org forums by Bungie's Matt Soell announcing that their Xbox launch title Halo has gone gold.

All of us worked very hard to get to this point and we are collectively very proud of what we have done.
Over the last few years Halo has attracted a lot of attention, and it's safe to say Halo will be the first Bungie game for a huge number of people. But it's not a fluke or a freak accident or a case of being in the right place at the right time. It's the latest chapter in the ongoing story of Bungie, which started ten years ago and is still being written. Like all our stories, it's full of dips and twists and weirdness. Sincere thanks to those of you who keep reading. :-)

Of course, as we all know, Halo started out as a PC/Mac title but after Bungie was bought by Microsoft it became an Xbox title. There could still be a PC version, though nothing is known about that at this point.

GameSpot has posted an assload of Halo footage which apparently also includes spoilers of some sort according to readers. Basically all the Halo stuff you can handle there.

There's an unusually lenghty Halo update up at Haloplayers.com, with Bungie's Matt Soell talking about the Halo Update Birthday Party which means a lot of alcohol. However Bungie did get some work done, which he talks about towards the end. Two new images from the game are included as well.

Planet Xbox has posted a new Halo developer diary. Bungie level designer Jaime Griesemer talks about bug hunting and seeing the game come together.

Battleground: Halo is this weeks recipient of the Halo update. Bungie's Matt Soell busts out with the info on what happened development-wise the past week, and also gives us a single new screenshot from the game which is now at Release Candidate 2.

The weekly Halo update is up at Halo.Bungie.org. Matt Soell talks what's been happening to Bungie's FPS, which is getting close to being done.

The TeamXBox website has posted a new trailer for Halo from Bungie which is currently being packaged as a launch title with the XBox console system from Microsoft. Thanks HomeLAN

Rampancy is the latest site to receive the Halo update. Bungie's Matt Soell talks about framerate optimization, work on AI, multiplayer testing and sound work. Meanwhile, Fileplanet is hosting a new Halo interview. Bungie's Marty O'Donnell and Joe Staten talk about the game (and show it) in a 44mb MPG file. The video runs for almost 7 minutes. It's still uncertain at this point on what platforms Halo will be released. Assumed was a release on the Xbox with PC and Mac following, but recently Microsoft sites and pre-order box art at stores has shown "Only on XBox".

Battleground: Halo is the latest receiver of the Halo update. Bungie's Matt Soell admits that its getting harder to make these updates because no new content is being added, and things are mostly being tweaked. However he has come up with a few things he can talk about.

This week's Halo update can be found at Bungie.org. Bungie's Matt Soell talks about the work on multiplayer levels, texture and sounds, various graphical fixes and a few other things.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, someone says this at least once a week, and chances are that it's total BS, but PC.IGN is reporting that the PC port of Halo is no longer a sure thing. They are making this statement based on two things: a scan of the cover artwork from the Xbox version has a "only on Xbox" label on it, and when they called Microsoft, they were told, "Microsoft will evaluate the PC version of Halo after the launch of it on Xbox." Regardless of all of this, keep in mind that Microsoft and Bungie have said time and again that it will appear on PC and Mac after its Xbox debut, regardless of the many reports to the contrary. On a related note, this week's Halo update is up at Rampancy.net, and features the usual bunch of info about the latest additions to the Xbox version of the game.

The new Halo update is up at Halo Players this week. Bungie's Matt Soell talks about the latest developments as always.

The newest Halo update is now available at Battlegrounds: Halo. Bungie's Matt Soell has a pretty good mid-sized update talking about bug fixing, lighting, work on weapons, music..everything pretty much.

Another weekly Halo update as always can be viewed here. Matt Soell covers misc bug fixing going on as well as what da dilly is with teaching the AI how to do stuff. Lets all pray the PC version isnt a turd!

PCZoneUK has a preview of Halo for the PC with word that once that abortion of an XBox release is put out for the MS console system the PC version will follow with actual multiplayer. Thanks Eric
