Yes, now is the time to be jealous. 1UP.com (companion web site to print magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly) is offering three weeks of features and inside looks at Halo 3. It includes first-looks at multiplayer maps, Bungie's responses to fan complaints, hands-on impressions of multiplayer play, and even an H3 podcast with Bungie.

I consider my Xbox 360 to be a down payment on Halo 3, so the more I can learn about what the game will feature (and more importantly, when we'll get to see it) the happier I'll be.
