Something for the latenighters with excessive bandwidth to try and get a hold of. A huge ass 180+ meg video including footage of Halo in action, several minutes of it even. You can grab it from the Bungie page or mirrors at 3DG, Frazone, and Blues. Couldnt get it myself but we all know you college students out there love to share the bandwidth for the greater good right? For those of you who are bandwidth impaired, Bungie did also release some screenshots recently.

The latest Halo update is up at Battlegrounds: Halo. As always, Bungie's Matt Soell gives an update on what they've been working on.

He's mocking up multiplayer levels right now and "it's really fun" says he. Michael has networking "up and limping" and is trying to fix the broken stuff.
- Reflection works now. I saw a hologram reflecting off a glass floor situated above The Shaft. Spiffy.
