Rampancy

Well, since there's no official word-- in fact, there are official denials going back quite awhile-- take this note with a few heaping tablespoons of salt.

But Bella Online's Lisa Shea isn't backing down off her insinuation that Halo will be broadband enabled:

It should be out in another month or two, as the main core of the XBox broadband rollout. I am VERY eagerly waiting for that.

Pressed to confirm, she stated:

I'll ask them again to see if they've changed their tune recently ...

Whether it's delusion or inside information I can't say yet, but she certainly thinks she knows this is happening. How it is achievable, I don't know. We've been told more than once that Halo can't be patched in any way; but perhaps the Xbox's software itself can be patched in such a way that is transparent to Halo?

Gholsbane at Myth.Bungie.Org has added the Myth 3 journal items to the index of journal entries for the Myth game series.

Does Lisa Shea know something about Halo we don't?

That's what you might conclude, based on the review of Halo she wrote for Bella Online (thanks to Louis Wu at HBO for the heads-up).

What was most interesting about the article was the conclusion:

And, even better, you can multiplay in a way which is REALLY fun! With two players you still get a lot of screen space, and you can easily work as a team - flanking an enemy, coordinating attacks. Your marines will see this and help out. If one person jumps into the driver seat of a vehicle, the other can hop in back and man the machine gun. There is a rainbow of colors for your suit, too. When they get Broadband set up for this next summer, a whole new addiction will be spawned.

The emphasis is ours. Since we've seen the Halo 1.5 rumor soundly debunked, and there have been no solid statements about a sequel-- what broadband Halo addiction is she referring to? Does she know something we don't?

We now have a local copy of the Breaking The Rules video (18Mb) by Team Overkill in our movies area. Enjoy!
