In Response To: Re: Halo (Claude Errera)

: Feel free to peruse the HBO archives for last year...

: You'll find that between June 2000 (when Bungie started serious work on the
: Xbox version) and October 2000 (when Matt, out of sheer pity, started the
: Weekly Halo Updates), there was NO information coming from Bungie. No
: screenshots, no status updates... nothing. (Well, okay, Matt answered a
: few questions on forums during that time period. But geez...)

: It's how they work.

Matt also said at some point that there wouldn't be much point in giving updates for the port. I believe it ran something like: week 1: "We're hashing out the networking code, and trying to get more optimizations in the graphics code." Week 2: "We're hashing out the networking code, and trying to get more optimizations in the graphics code." Week 3: rinse & repeat. Porting is much, much less interesting, and I think if we were getting updates, we'd just be howling in frustration at how cursed *BORING* they were.
