More Halo 3 News!

Hey Everyone! I found some awesome news on the development of the Halo 3 multiplayer. It's up and running but only for those lucky b@$ta*** at Bungie. Here's the full story from IGN:

According to a recent post on Bungie's weekly update, a test version of Halo 3's multiplayer modes is already being played. The post stated, "Lars, one of the new(er) multiplayer designers, has a regular multiplayer test in session now - that happens every day - and with surprisingly polished-looking graphics, although I'm told a lot of the textures and decorator objects are just placeholder at the moment. Could have fooled me." That was posted by Frankie, community manager over at Bungie.

This leads us to believe that Halo 3 is in fact much further along than Microsoft let on at E3. Frankie went on to say, "The multiplayer test lab is still packed full of old-school 4:3 480i NTSC TV sets, which tells you two things. One is that we're making sure this game looks awesome on non HD sets, and two, that there is always a crazy rush to get to the sets that are HD during those sessions."

It's certainly good news for the many Halo 3 fans out there, and even better for those without HDTV sets. More as it happens.
