In Response To: More PcZone Benelux Info!!! (D'n'A)
> 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.

> -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,
