MS Not Delaying PC Halo Release
Well, just as soon as we open our big fat mouths to say there's no new information, Matt pulls up to the drive-thru window at HBO to toss a few more needles into the haystack.
They aren't much, but they are something.
In response to complaints about the lack of information (and by information we mean a release date etched in stone ):
I don't think I, or anyone else at Bungie, would ever claim to know when a project will be done. When we say We don't know, we always mean We don't know. It may sound evasive, but it's an honest statement.
In response to the allegation that MS is trying to protect Halo sales on the Xbox by dictating the release date for other versions:
MS is not delaying production of PC Halo.
There you have it, honest to goodness information.
Macintosh Halo Information And Misinformation Compendium
Halo will come out on the Mac. So says Alex, so says Matt, and consign to the flames of hell all who say otherwise.
Of course, there's always more people saying otherwise, and those who say yes still don't have too much else to say... until there's more to say.
So in the spirit of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story, we've cruised the web to collect links about Halo on the Mac-- some outdated, some inaccurate, some just funny.
Click story link below for the complete summary.
Gamers.com has an overview of Halo for the Mac, based primarily on old information but has been updated. It has a screenshot of the old marine design. It lists the publisher as Microsoft , but the developer as Bungie Software (not Bungie Studios ). The user review (9/10) written late last month actually refers to the Xbox version. The release date is listed as N/A .
DGames.com has a Macintosh index page that lists Halo with a price of $44.95 and a link to preorder. Caveat emptor.
Happy Puppy has a page from May of 2000 after E3. It still lists the developer and publisher as Bungie and has a shot of the old marine and the old warthog.
Blockbuster.com has an entry for Halo as a game rental says in part Initial development of Halo was done simultaneously for the Macintosh, the PC, and the Xbox. That's interesting... I'd have thought initial development was done for the Mac and the PC, and then later for the Xbox...
Maccentral still has their story online from when Alex confirmed at MacWorld that Halo would still come out for the Mac. We still have a lot of love for the Mac platform, said Seropian. and yes indeed, we will be bringing Halo out for the Mac.
Cheatcave has a page purporting to be for the 52 codes and cheats available for Halo on the Mac. The first is infinite viagra pills . Later on down the page we are shocked to be informed by a gamer from usa that all of this shit is fake . Darn!
ZDNet's story from awhile back mentions that although Halo was confirmed for Mac, it wasn't announced who would port or publish it. In fact, we still don't know that-- although my bet is that the absence of an announcement of who the third party porting company is means that there isn't one... so they must be doing it in-house. Will that delay Phoenix? Of course not... you can't delay something without a release date. The story speculates heavily that Tamte's company Destineer might do the job under their Bold label... but little has been said about that lately.
That's all for now... more Mac Halo (mis)information as we find it!
New Bungie Community Hotline Server
It seems there's a new hotline site out there for BungieFen-- hl.forerunners.org. There's also a website at www.forerunners.org that states We are coming again. You thought we were finished. We are coming back, soon, very soon. It doesn't state too much else just yet, but we'll keep an eye on it.
The page features an image of the symbol shown above some of the doors in 343 Guilty Spark and on the backs of some of the Elite Covenant units. In the HTML source, the image is titled the forerunners built this thing....
Halo AI Presentation Materials From GDCon Available
We noticed over on HBO that there's a powerpoint file from the presentation on Halo's AI given by Jaime Case Griesemer and Chris Butcher at the Game Developers Conference. You can get the file from the GDCon site or from our own local copy. The file is a little over 14 Mb.
GDCon also has PowerPoint and Word versions of Marty O'Donnell's talk on Halo's music. This one is much smaller; 3Mb for the .ppt and a mere 44k for the .doc.
Halo Movies Area To Be Revamped
We're reorganizing the Halo Movies area, adding three new items, including the two Blackstar Production trailers and a new entry, as well as removing some of the old files that we are no longer hosting.
Shortly we'll also add links to other files.
Halo Movies Mirrored By Blackstar
The recent Halo Movie 'Trailer' and 'Teaser' videos are now being hosted directly by Blackstar Productions on their new site, as well as by the many mirrors mentioned at HBO.
Rampancy Will Return
...but will anyone besides Louis notice? Tune in and see!
MariusNet Maintainers Retire, MWA To Open New Server
MariusNet is reporting that the maintainers of the site, Conner and Marius, are going to leave their Myth 2 and Myth TFL server running, but will no longer support it or create new user accounts:
It's time for a new hobby. Conner and I have been putting in countless hours supporting marius net for a number of months now, and it's time to move on to other things.So, we've set up the server and web site to eliminate all support work. As a result, we will no longer be accepting new login requests. New users can sign on using the guest account, but will not be allowed to chat. They can, however host and join games and chat in game. We will also be turning off the game stats since that requires alot of effort to maintain.
The server will remain on as long as we have a free pipe, and the rules still apply, but Conner and I have no desire to spend our time on this anymore.
On a separate but related note, MWA and MythMaps.com have announced they will jointly run a Myth 2 server, and are soliciting C++ programmers to help.
New Letters To The Webmaster For February
Don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere yet, but the edition of Letters to the Webmaster at bungie.net is dated February 2002 and I know it was new to me.
