Ah, nothing like a week off to refresh the palate. And nothing like an encouraging Halo update to greet you on the return. The folks at HBO have recieved this week's Halo Update from Matt, and the topic du jour is the engine. An excerpt:

In the last two weeks, the rewritten Halo engine finally caught up to the old version in terms of rendering ability. Then we surpassed it. Work in the coming weeks will explore just how far we can push the graphical envelope.

Woo. And more where that came from, so definitely stop by and have a look at the rest.
