Well it looks like IMG has gotten its hands on a preview of Mac Halo. The preview is 3 pages long and contains a few screenshots, some of which seem new. The only problem is it doesn't really refer to anything specific to Mac Halo, its just more info for those who have been hiding under rocks. I am soooo jealous; someone send me a copy of Mac Halo darn it! Anyways its mostly a preview of the story and a little about the original development of Halo. Here's a snippet:
"One of the first things players will notice about the game is its graphical beauty. Gearbox has gone through tremendous efforts in bringing the visually-rich Xbox game into the realm of high resolution PC graphics. Through extensive use of vertex and pixel shaders, the latter which have never been seen in a Macintosh game before, Halo brings a rich and vastly textured alien world to player’s screens. Taking advantage of today’s high-end graphics technology, Halo pushes graphics cards to their limits with gorgeous exterior environments, stunning visual effects like reflections and glows, and multi-pass texturing to put the latest versions of Unreal Tournament to shame. While the game is being programmed for the latest and greatest hardware available, the porting teams over at Gearbox and Westlake are putting great pains into making sure the game is scalable for some of the older graphics cards out in the market today..."
Unfortunately it doesn't reveal anything new except the interviewer is a little behind the times, the status of Mac Halo has been at Beta for a short while.

A little note on the Single Player
One of my old skool Mything Buddies who got a hold of the Halo PC beta says that there are a few changes to the single player, such as little changes that do not really affect the game outside of being extras.
