Daily Radar has some Halo impressions based on what they saw yesterday at Gamestock. Besides the screenshots we saw, they have some info on the gameplay and multiplayer part of the game.

The Microsoft Gamestock is underway and MS has released seven new screenshots from Bungie's Halo running on the Xbox. They are looking pretty good.

five more

Also, thanks to MS Xbox guys for letting us know about the relaunch of the official Xbox.com website.

Halo fan site Haloplayers has the weekly Halo update from Bungie's Matt Soell. Thanks Rampancy.net.

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.

- The Online Team met with Michael and Hardy to discuss multiplayer game types. It was a nice long meeting with a lot of good ideas thrown around. Hardy has more good ideas for multiplayer game types than any one man has a right to. We'll see how many of them we can make work. 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.

The weekly Halo update can be found here (thanks Rampancy.net), with Bungie's Matt Soell giving a point by point update on what's being worked on.

Halo HQ has an interview with Matt Seoll of Bungie, asking him about his job, the Halo community, Halo itself, and a couple of random questions such as favorite drinks and food.

For those of you still futilely following the updates on how Halo is coming, here's the latest on what the Bungie guys are working on between meetings with MS on how to integrate the game into your OS.

Another installment of the weekly Halo update by Bungie's Matt Soell has been posted. This time on Haloplayers, with word of more developers thanks to the addition of the Oni team as well as few other things. Thanks Rampancy.net.

Another weekly update, this week it can be found at Battleground: Halo. Matt Soell's updated touches on controller issues, a revised particle system, the team's long-term schedule and work on the map editor.

There's another Halo update as usual, this time you can find it on Halo.bungie.org. There's been more code cleanup, new graphics effects, a revision of the jeep and several other things.

Although I doubt it's the last we hear from Halo and what platform it's going to appear on, Johnny Rotten let us know about this post on the Bungie.org forums. Bungie's Matt Soell says the following in response to yesterday's story about Halo, where people were fearing Halo would be an Xbox only game since EB is no longer accepted pre-orders for the game.

First off: it's a load of bollocks. There WILL be a Mac/PC Halo.

As to why EB pulled it off their site: maybe they figured out that taking preorders so far in advance would only increase the number of irate "Where the hell is it?" calls to their phone centers. I can't speak for them or the motives for their actions. But I can tell you it's not a result of anything we or Microsoft told them. Nameless "higher-ups," my arse.

It just ain't true, folks. Don't believe it.

Voodoo Extreme has the following from a Microsoft PR person

There are still PC and Mac versions planned, but the work is being done on the Xbox version now. work will begin on the PC/Mac versions once the Xbox one is finished.

According to word via AMDZone which I cant really find a mention of it now but I'll just quote VoodooExtreme instead, Halo on the PC seems to be in question again... great. It seems that we'll still see the game sooner or later on the PC, but I'm betting that its one hell of a lot later knowing Microsoft. Damn it I remember being excited as hell when Halo was first shown and those cool screenshots were coming out.

EBWorld will no longer be accepting pre-orders for the PC version of Halo, as they were informed by the "higher-ups" that Halo would be an Xbox exclusive title and to cease accepting pre-orders for the game. Considering EBWorld will take pre-orders for literally anything, this could be some pretty strong news that Microsoft plans to keep Halo off the PC... But - I just asked the official PR rep who handles Halo and he says as far as he knows the PC and Mac versions are still on, and will know more next week.

There's a new Halo update on Rampancy.net, and in this installment Bungie's Matt Soell talks about the Bungie Fanfest, Second Annual Bungie Pentathlon and a few items on what's been going on with Halo.

Halo.bungie.org has several Halo news bits from the recent Bungie fan-fest, if you are wondering what's been happening with the game since Microsoft bought it and you haven't been reading those brief development updates.

There was a Halo chat with some of the Bungie guys a couple of hours ago on IGN, and several websites have edited chat logs. Xbox Faction, MSXbox, XboxAddict, choose whatever you like, heh. Matt and John from Bungie answered a lot of questions with "undecided" and "can't tell yet", but they did stress again that Halo will appear on the PC and Mac as well besides the Xbox.

Q: Will all the Xbox, Mac and pc users be able to play together?
A: It's really hard to say at this point one way or another, but if I had to bet I'd say no. PC/Mac netplay is a more likely proposition, if you catch my drift.

Q: Will the X-Box have a simultaneous release date on X-Box and the PC?
A: I already answered that, but for anyone who missed it: no. The Xbox version will ship before the Mac/PC versions. I don't know how much later they'll follow, but they're a separate development effort.

Halowar has relaunched and put together a bunch of info on the upcoming X-Box (maybe PC and Mac?) title.  Check out the article as well as a weapons guide and vehicle guide.

Anoter weekly Halo update, this time on Battleground: Halo. There's plans for melee attacks for all weapons, there's been work on the AI, and there are some programming and art updates.

Sol from MSXbox sent word of the weekly Halo update on Halo.bungie.org. Not a whole lot of exciting development this time.

Another, brief, Halo update is now up at Rampancy.net (thanks Blues News). Most of the update is about the AI they've been working on.

There's a new Halo update on Halo.bungie.org. Bungie's Matt Soell gives info on the revised engine, reflection tech, animations and some of the cooler effects you might see in the game.
