Hi guys, In case anyone missed my previous posts, my name is Doug Radcliffe and I authored Sybex's Official Strategy Guide for Halo PC. It has been completed and should be in stores around or before Halo PC hits shelves. I wanted to thank everyone, all Halo fans, who helped out with the guide. Your participation really made the guide something special. I enjoyed all of your excitement and generosity when providing tips for the guide. Now that the guide is complete and about to hit stores, I can reveal some of the great things found in the guide. Halo PC Strategy Guide - Dozens and dozens and dozens of tips and strategies straight from the Halo community. Many of you are in the book! I tried my best to include everyone that submitted tips in the guide but it was very difficult since many people sent in similar tips. However, everyone who submitted a tip, whether or not it was used in the book, received credit in the acknowledgements section--so look for your name/handle! If I forgot anyone, I'm truly sorry. I received hundreds and hundreds of emails and tried to ensure everyone's name got into the guide but there's always a chance I missed someone. - Exclusive "level designer notes" for all of Halo's single-player levels. These exclusive sidebars were written by Halo level designers Jaime Griesemer, Paul Bertone, and Tyson Green. The level designer notes offer fantastic tidbits and stories about the design process for each single-player level. Learn how 343 Guilty Spark originally started or why The Maw kept going over resource limits. - Exclusive "map designer notes" for the new six multiplayer levels. Gearbox map designers add their own design stories for each new multiplayer level. - Exclusive "Bungie Tips" from Bungie designers. These are featured throughout the book, including the multiplayer section with insights on Halo's original multiplayer maps. - Exclusive "Halo AI" sidebar from Bungie's AI programmer Chris Butcher, an insight into creating Halo's artificial intelligence. Get into the mind of a grunt! - Complete walkthrough for the single-player game filled with community tips and tactics and for Legendary difficulty! - Separate chapters for weapons, vehicles, and enemies, comprehensively filled with community tips. - Three multiplayer chapters with strategies for free-for-all and team play and map-specific strategies for all multiplayer maps. Plenty of community tips here too! - Community spotlight section featuring profiles of HBO, Randall Glass, Miguel "Bungie's #1 Fan" Chavez, and Red vs. Blue. - Full Easter Egg list, thanks to Louis Wu of HBO. - And last, but definitely not least, exclusive excerpts from the Halo Story Bible. whew! Sorry for the plug but I was excited to share with you guys how great the guide came together, primarily thanks to all of your help. I had a lot of fun reading all of your emails and, I can't say it enough, I really appreciate all of your help! And a special thanks to Shishka for always being around to answer the silly questions :) Thanks again and look for it very soon! Doug Radcliffe | |
