It took a little while to crank out but we've got GameStar Magazine's May 2000 Halo preview translated and ready for your perusal. As before, CyberBob of Halo World deserves my thanks for collaborating on the translation. Here's a quick clipping:

At present you look at the rear of your avatar and can select between different viewer cameras. Basically a more flexible variant of the Tomb Raider perspective! However, the whole view decision is not yet finalized. It is well possible that Bungie may include the first-person perspective which is common for 3D shooters.

GameStar also made some interesting statements on the interface, hardware requirements and expectations for a release date. While they've spoken directly with Bungie and seen the game in action, keep in mind that some things are just speculation until Bungie gives the final word. It should be informative though. Enjoy!
