Beta Codes from HollywoodHalo
Wishing you could join in the Beta, but don't have ODST (or one of the Halo 2 thank-you codes Microsoft sent out)? HollywoodHalo's got your back. imSuck let us know that they've got 3 Beta codes to give away (yeah, yeah, he knows they're late), and you can get one by commenting (with your gamertag) on their Contest Promo video on YouTube. Submissions close around midnight tonight - so go watch the vid (for rules), then drop in your gamertag for a chance to win! (Louis Wu 16:04:06 UTC) (permalink)

Powerhouse tactical composite
RVideo did a nice job compositing Powerhouse from a series of overhead screens (it shows more than Bungie's version, and is quite a bit larger) - and then, with the help of some forumgoers, he added common callouts. Give these a look - they could help your game! (Louis Wu 11:57:21 UTC) (permalink)

Double EXP Playlists for May
FyreWulff also updated his Double EXP Playlist database - upcoming playlists are included through the end of the month. Go see what you can be playing in Halo 3! And don't forget - it's the 7th of May; if you still need the 7th on the 7th Achievement, today's another chance. (Louis Wu 11:31:57 UTC) (permalink)
Overdose Trailer 1
Dwood pointed out a trailer for 'Overdose', a Halo CE mod about a militant group trafficking in drugs. Doesn't look ANYTHING like any Halo I've seen before... some cool stuff! (Louis Wu 11:31:39 UTC) (permalink)
Win Stuff on LIVE
Anton P. Nym pointed out a Halo: Reach Beta "Play and Win" Contest available to Canadian LIVE users - if you visit the Spotlight portion of the Dashboard, there's a contest with a top prize of Reach Legendary Edition plus a year of LIVE plus a Reach hoodie. This does NOT seem to be available to US LIVE users... but I DID notice a contest I hadn't seen before - Reach for the Warthog gives yo ua chance to win a trip to New Zealand, and a ride in the Weta Warthog. (Dunno what's available for folks outside North America... sorry.) (Louis Wu 11:31:10 UTC) (permalink)

Another view of the Beta
Sean P., over at NeoGAF, pointed out a review of the Halo: Reach Beta from Spartan M619 a little bit ago. It's... pretty entertaining. (Louis Wu 11:29:25 UTC) (permalink)

Sketcherrific
Yesterday, SketchFactor posted a bunch of screenshots he'd taken in the Halo: Reach Beta. Fun stuff! If you don't like 'em, though, he tells us there are plenty more to choose from... as of yesterday, more than 375,000 screenshots had been snapped in the Beta. If a picture is worth a thousand words... that's a lotta words. (Louis Wu 11:27:48 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Beta Stats Images
I'm so far behind on news right now... ugh. Sorry. Mid7night compiled a bunch of the images shown on the Reach Beta stats page on Bungie.net - it'll give you a sense for what's availalble (so far). Give it a read! (Louis Wu 11:26:39 UTC) (permalink)
