March 10, 2009. 8212; Staff @ 4:31 pm. A detailed look at the fiction of Microsoft and Ensemble’s Halo Wars…. It would be unfair to suggest that there hasn’t been an exceptional amount of skepticism directed toward Ensemble Studios’ Halo Wars over the past few months and there’s likely not been more weight placed on a single Halo title to succeed than since the franchise’s first release in 2001. Will it be worth its weight, proving to the masses that Halo fiction can be properly executed outside of Bungi...

When we first encounter the ONI photographer, he has stopped at one particular shop and is holding a photograph or drawing. We know from a comic on Halo3.com. REGRET, REGRET, REGRET.

May 18, 2009. 8212; Vociferous @ 2:03 am. A closer look at the city of New Mombasa…. 16 Comments ». The new setting looks amazing, cannot wait to play it. great article btw. 8212; May 18, 2009 @ 7:19 am. Great Article. It just renewed my hype for ODST. My idea is that the climax of the game will occur at the base of the orbital elevator, and your ODST (And squad, maybe.) must escape. Or, the tether falls while the ODST’s are inside, and our hero(‘s) meets his(there) end. About the space elevator – ...

June 12, 2008. The Architecture of War. 8212; Vociferous @ 12:42 pm. What is undeniably one of the greatest traits of the Halo series is its ability to graft together memorable and authentically complex encounters. Whether it’s the immersion of the environment, the choices the sandbox inherently offers or even the scope and scale of the battle – when an encounter is done right, it can leave you speechless. This immediately begs the rather obvious question: What is an encounter? The Architecture of War.

With new information on this enigmatic character culled from the pages of Tobias Buckell’s. Halo: The Cole Protocol. We can take a closer look at who the Arbiter was in the past, who he is now and why his story remains one of the most fascinating subsets within the franchise’s fiction. A Child’s Dream. As we’ve witnessed in our own history, a feudal system of...

I feel by putting this ODST campaign experience AND the Halo 3 mulitplayer into one box Bungie are pretty much putting out the most awesome Halo game so far. Comment by Nuvalari — June 8, 2009 @ 6:45 am. Do you by chance have the link to the E3 vid from 2003 that you refer to? It would be cool to review it in light of your excellent discussion here.

May 15, 2009. Ground Zero (Part I). 8212; Vociferous @ 1:17 pm. I often find myself impressed by the level of authenticity Bungie has implemented within their craft. As Halo 3: ODST begins to emerge from its amniotic iterations, the question becomes whether or not the computer-generated announcement trailer for this campaign expansion can be observed with the same level of scrutiny as its predecessors especially considering that outsiders CafeFX produced this trailer, albeit closely directed by Bungie.
