More PcZone Benelux Info!!!

Hey there, I just read both articles on Halo in the July issue of PcZone Benelux(one was an exclusive preview and the other an E3 report) and this is what I found: * No news regarding the Microsoft/Bungie-thing and the platform discussion. * No real news on the game itself(it's an introduction to a monthly diary about the game with detailed info on gameplay, setting, weapons, units, interviews). * An announcement that the Halo diary will feature new and exclusive never-seen-before pictures and interviews with the designers(Bungie) every month. * An E3 report. They said it was the best game of the show and they were totally blown away by the graphics etc. They said they didn't have stand in line to view the trailer...lucky bastards(they were VIP or so). They discussed the trailer...nothing new of course, except that they loved it. They ironically wrote: "...then he said he was gonna put bumpmapping on, just like that, wasn't it on yet...jeez. With bumpmapping the textures had even greater detail..." * The full story, which we all know * 3 new pics which I will describe below. Pic description: -1: You see the red Covenant vehicle, which we already saw in the trailer, but never in action. 00 000000 0000000000000 0000000000000 00000 0000000 000 0 -topdown view(schematic)- In the vehicle is one pilot(there's a nice cockpit), the next Covenant is as it seems lying on the wing with his energy pistol pointed forward and the third is sitting in some sort of bowl on top of the vehicle which houses a large energy cannon, which fires. The craft of course floats and it has strange markings on one of the wings. In the background are some mountains while the ground looks like soil and dirt...so not like the grasslandscapes we saw previously. -2: In this pic there's a Blue Covenant with some sort of long, thin sniper rifle(guess). He's inside the hall from the teaser(guess). -3: There's a BoB standing in a doorpost holding a shotgun at aiming position. He's got a cap on his head. The doorswitch looks amazing and is constructed of holograms and markings similar to the holoscreen in the teaser. He stands where the BoB's stood in the pics from PcGamerUK. * There's concept art showing the strange ambient lifeform we saw in the BTV day three movie...the rolling one(maybe it was day four). On it's back there's some sort of jet-engine so it may also be concept are of a still to be shown Covenant race. * All other pics are known. Bye bye, Joris-Jan van 't Land, D'n'A(Holland) ps. We thank PcZone Benelux for their info and I hope they don't mind me publishing the content of their mag here. If they don't complain I will do similar posts about the remaining Halo diaries in PcZone Benelux.
