Getting your hands on history
Dave Kramer sent word that BusyGamerNews.com wants you to have parts of the Halo series' heritage - Halo 2 with the Multiplayer Map Pack, along with the original Halo Game Guide. Several ways to win. These include reviewing their newest podcast. Check it out. (Louis Wu 20:08:10 UTC) (permalink)
Tips for Reach
Cody Miller wrote up some tips for Reach multiplayer; if you LIKE the Assault Rifle, and you're not interested in improving your headshot percentage, these won't be for you, but otherwise, you'll find some handy pointers to keep you from getting destroyed in the Beta! There's a video, too, showing off some examples. (Louis Wu 18:06:05 UTC) (permalink)
First Reach panoramas show up
A couple of Reach panoramas have already shown up - Crab posted one on Friday, and RVideo posted one yesterday. I'm sure we'll be seeing many more. (Louis Wu 18:05:21 UTC) (permalink)
Elite Comparison
Riceatron took a bunch of high-res screenshots of an Elite in both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, and stuck them all together in a monster image, so that you can get a feel for how the Elite model has been upgraded. And wow... it's been upgraded. I mean, that's been clear for a while, but this image shows you EXACTLY how impressive the changes are. (Louis Wu 18:04:56 UTC) (permalink)
Arena Rating - in Java
Oozer3993 whipped up a tiny Java app (4kb) you can use to calculate your 'Arena Rating' based on stats from a slayer game you were in. It's based on (I'd assume) the math included in the most recent Weekly Update. Give it a try - see where you stand! Arena goes live tomorrow.

Like a red-headed stepchild.
EazyB found a pretty sneaky way to abuse the Armor Lock ability - check it out. (Enjoy it while you can; I'd really doubt this will work in the shipping game.)

I betcha can't post it! (on time)
Dan 'Blood' DaRocha uploaded a really, really old clip he recorded before Halo 3 was released - Jen Taylor, doing a live rendition of her 'Betcha Can't Stick It' line. Awesome, Dan - only 3 years late!

Digital Foundry vs. Halo: Reach Beta
Eurogamer's Digital Foundry did some analysis of the Reach Beta - you might be interested in what they found. Technical, as always. Good stuff. Thanks, Shake Appeal. (Louis Wu 18:02:02 UTC) (permalink)
