I have to agree, very nice article - thanks for posting it. Even for those who don't speak Swedish, here's a roughly translated section that sort of captures the gist of it:
"But every round fired, every Slayer-match started and every movie with flying terrain vehicles is in actuality nothing more than a bright-red, blinking figure in a drawn-out countdown.
Between the deathmatches we follow, with feverish anticipation, the events in a modest office in Redmond, Washington.
Tiny situation reports and a for-most-people rather pointless webcam are our only means of communication with the hundreds of people inside. Here is where Jason Jones and his Bungie complete the next chapter of Halo.
Every few months they release new pictures from the game, preferably one at a time. We analyze every shadow and nuance of light (could that particle effect really have been created by an ordinary grenade?) and go back to honing our reflexes, waiting for the continuation of a war that never stopped. Two years of cease-fire is about to come to an end."
