Halo Status Report

[Sep 12, 2003, 11:03 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

With the removal of the remaining work items list on the Halo Website, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford made a forum post called Halo PC Status describing the imminence of announcements concerning the game's availability (thanks Frans and HBO). Here's the deal:

Expect an announcement about the release date of Halo PC sometime in the next 1 to 4 days.

gearboxsoftware.com will carry the announcement in the forums, on the main pages and will offer other fun materials related to the announcement.

The "Work Items" remaining ticker was removed because there are no remaining work items for the retail game.

The team is working on a number of other things including a demo and some bonus features to be released as an update on or about launch time.

We are having lots of fun at Gearbox playing "Assault" mode in Halo PC. We can't wait for you to be able to join us

Thanks for your participation in the forums and thank you for your continued excitement and anticipation of Halo's invasion of the PC.

While I think most of it was fun, just wait until you get to the Library level; it's a repetitive spiral staircase that lasts WAY too long. And then, you have to do it all over again.

I don't know what possessed them to do that. It practically ruined the last half of the game for me. But all-in-all, it was a fun game.

One of the Bungies' guys admitted in an interview some time ago (dont ask when, I dont remember) That they were under an extremely tight deadline and they didn't have much choice but to pad the latter portions of the game with corridor clearing. IMO though, the final 10 minutes made up for the slight repetition. It was probably one of the most memorable moments I've had since I started gaming.
