Louis Wu at HBO noticed two articles, one at Inside Mac Games, and the other at MacGamer, placing the ship date of Mac Halo as December 3. Both quote an official press release from MacSoft, publishers of Halo on the Mac platform. Both mention a reference in that to resolutions of "1600 x 1200" pixels and "beyond". It will be interesting to note how well the performance of the Mac port is perceived compared to the PC one, especially vis-a-vis OpenGL vs. Direct X comparisons. However, alphabet soup aside, along with the earlier information that the beta testing would begin this week, that's good news for Macintosh gaming.
