Kudos to Loren Petrich, who posted a link to a Gamecenter preview of Halo in the halo.bungie.org forum. Listing Halo as one of the Top 10 Game predictions of 2000, it offers no new information, but voices an increasingly common worry:

It's almost shocking to think that Bungie could do this on such a standard-level PC; it makes you wonder what the heck other programmers have been doing. Graphics aside, though, the big question for Bungie is whether it can deliver an exciting game.

Oh ye of little faith. Nevertheless, it seems the cancellation of such projects as HalfLife for the Mac and other major titles like Warcraft Adventures has instilled a bit of skepticism into the industry...
