Methinks that's a candidate for 'Understatement of the Year'.

Please ask the webmaster to change the text at halo.bungie.com to say "Coming to X-Box, PC, and Macintosh" ASAP. As Bungie has probably learned, specifics are much less susceptible to 'negative interpetations' than generalities (like, say, 'a platform near you').

Besides, it's not nice to tease the linux geeks. ; )

Like he did back in '99?

Okay, I'm done giving you a hard time, moving on to the traditional nonsense: feature requests!

Will the delay in Halo to accomidate X-Box development give the Mac dev team enough time to carbonize, implement SMP and polish the editing tools?

Any chance of getting some screenshots with FSAA on? (3dfx would probably sign over the souls of some marketroids to be able to demo Halo on a Voodoo5500...)

What kind of frame rates are you getting with what graphics cards? =)

And finally: a not-quite-but-almost-'when-will-it-ship' question- will Halo be ready to ship when X-Box launches, or will it be released somtime after the X-Box launch?
