A Beta Tribute: Multiplayer Madness
Urban Reflex put together his own tribute to the Reach Beta with a new 'Multiplayer Madness' video - some fun gameplay moments! Not your typical montage at all... more a collection of funny bits. Some are VERY funny. (Louis Wu 19:37:01 UTC) (permalink)
Celebrating the Milestones
Bungie's 'Polish Complete' milestone for Reach comes with a bunch of photos - swing by the Reach Developer Blog for a slideshow! (Louis Wu 19:29:45 UTC) (permalink)
Project Aftershock - Progress Continues
We got another update on Project Aftershock, a Halo mod for Crysis, from its developer, Warlord. (You can see older mentions here and here in our news archive.) Swing by Crymod's forum for screenshots and a video! (Louis Wu 19:27:23 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Caption Fun, Round 93
93? Man... that woman's been doing this for a WHILE. The latest round of Friday Caption Fun has some great captions for last week's Elite Meets Ghost image... and then tosses one of the most captionable screenshots I've ever seen your way. Go read, then go play. (While you're there, check out yesterday's Twitter T&A Thursday - the challenge was to finish the sentence "You know you played the Halo: Reach beta too long when --"... definitely some great ones in there.)

Friday CC vids
Friday video fun at Bungie.net:
- H3AsiiM's BetaLicious is a montage featuring gameplay from Kreger and AsiiM himself. Nice angles.
- Distraction is a montage from a trio of players - makes me sad I can't jump on right now.
- betamaniaque created a Halo Reach community montage, using clips he found on Bungie.net. Lots of odd moments.
- Ain't nothin' wrong with it is another community montage - this time it's the Legend Zero community. Quality could use a little work, but the gameplay's fun.
- Forge Union Reach Betatage is yet ANOTHER community montage - Forge Union, this time.
I'm sure there'll be plenty more of this in the next week or two... (Louis Wu 17:25:06 UTC) (permalink)
Overlook, Overall
HaLo2FrEeEk has spherized the final Halo: Reach Beta map, Overlook - the scrollable version is spectacular, though the sphere itself might not do the beauty of Overlook justice. There are plenty of options, though - so go see! (Louis Wu 15:57:55 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Beta Impressions, from CinemaBlend
CinemaBlend has posted some Reach Beta Impressions - they're noteworthy simply because they're positive, from a site that rarely, if ever, has anything nice to say about the Halo franchise. (The article was written by a new games writer, so that might have something to do with it...) Give it a read! (Louis Wu 13:32:58 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Reach Beta Fails
Chris10023 sent word of a special episode of Halo 3 Fails - this one's entitled 'Halo Reach Fails' and contains (surprise!) head-slapping moments from the Beta. I think every clip includes me... (Louis Wu 13:20:13 UTC) (permalink)
Hedgemony Loves Halo
A few days ago, we mentioned that Hedgemony was offering to photo-manipulate your Reach screenshot to make a cool Beta keepsake; a LOT of people took him up on it. His Tumblr collection now has 79 images in it - and some of them are EPIC. Go look! (Louis Wu 13:19:43 UTC) (permalink)
IGN's Top 100 Videogame Villains
IGN posted a list of their Top 100 Videogame Villains - Halo characters make the list 3 separate times. (If you don't feel like paging through the entire collection, Morpheus has posted the direct links to each Halo-related page.)

Phasing Over
Marcus put up a post on the Bungie Developer Blog yesterday - this is the last week of 'content polishing', now they're entering a hardcore bug-squashing phase. They're working hard to make sure Reach is everything we want it to be, come fall! (Louis Wu 13:14:29 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Only one new piece for you this week in the Fan Fiction section - there HAD been three, but two didn't make the (pretty low) minimum quality bar. If you're submitting content, please - be sure to read the submission guidelines first. Thanks! (Louis Wu 13:15:16 UTC) (permalink)
