Halo 3 multiplayer tested daily

The above picture is not from Halo 3, but is a constant reminder why we should read Bungie's Weekly Update more often. While the big news may be the do-it-yourself Mister Chief cut-out doll, Bungie also revealed some information on the status of Halo 3. Lead designer Bertone has an early single-player mission up and running, "one that takes place before the events seen in the E3 trailer." Not to be outdone, a multiplayer designer (Lars) has daily Halo 3 multiplayer sessions — "with surprisingly polished-looking graphics." (Would you expect a Bungie employee to say otherwise?)

We'll keep an eye out for future updates. Be sure to check out this week's update for the entire "Mister Chief" comic, some funny anecdotes about the Bungie staff, and a nice new Halo 3 picture.
