Fan Made Halo RTS, IloveBees Interview

Posted by Zonk on from the market-branching dept.

By way of Evil Avatar, news of a Command and Conquer Generals mod to be set in the Halo universe. Entitled Halogen, the fan-made RTS appears to have much of the preliminary work completed already. Relatedly, TotalVideoGames is carrying an interview with ILoveBees actress Kristen Rutherford. She discusses her role as the schizoid AI in the Halo-Universe Alternate Reality Game. From the interview: "The characters in l love bees are all characters within the Haloverse. Melissa was the A.I. of the ship Apocalypso in the same way that Cortana was the A.I. for the Pillar of Autumn."

    I tried to read the site, but the desingers basically put up a "keep out" sign by having the text color be little different from the background color. I guess that should cut down on slashdotting.

    Was wondering what Microsoft thinks of such Halo-ish projects? Do they care? Can they whomp you for it?

    So now will people who've never played games before think that Halo is the first RTS, too?

      RTS... that stands for Ring Takeover Scenario, right?

    The Evolution of Halo

    This is the video you were referring to. Builds from the RTS sci-fi Myth days, up the the E3 2000 demo build. Interesting video to say the least.
    This was later re-edited into the video seen on the Halo 2 LE DVD.
