Intent of Scale
NeoGAF's Salami Inferno noticed a preview of one of the campaign levels over at 1UP - the writeup is designed to give you a sense of scale of the action. Short, but sweet. (Obviously, this contains information about the campaign.) (Louis Wu 22:54:08 UTC) (permalink)
Social Networking - for Spartans
IGN talked to Bungie's Chris Gossett about the new Bungie.net features we'll see rolled out for Reach. Some of this stuff appeared with the Reach Beta this spring - but there's plenty of new goodness (and refined stuff that works even better); it's a mouth-watering read. (Do you like Facebook-style image tags, telling you who's in a picture? Reach will do that for uploaded screens... automatically.) Go read it. Then check the calendar - only 24 more days! (Well, and a little.) (Louis Wu 22:07:12 UTC) (permalink)
Building a light sculpture
The Remember Reach website shows off a Kuka robotic arm - DHalo points out a Wired-created video showing off how that arm will be used to create a Reach light sculpture. Pretty cool! (Louis Wu 19:35:06 UTC) (permalink)
Free As a Bird
Firestorm12 let us know about 'Free As a Bird', a music video set to the Beatles' song of the same name. Check out the gorgeous vistas of Halo! (Have you ever seen John Lennon dressed in Spartan armor before?) (Louis Wu 19:28:22 UTC) (permalink)
Life-size Master Chief statue for sale
AcerM just posted his life-sized Halo Master Chief statue on eBay - starting bid is $300, you've got 10 days to decide. Go look! (Louis Wu 19:24:06 UTC) (permalink)
Custom paint job on a 360
shadow8p was nervous about custom-painting a 360... but I'd say that first attempt went pretty well! Check it out. (Louis Wu 18:21:44 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: Budget Cuts
FyreWulff has another Fire Team Zulu challenge for you - Budget Cuts is Alpha Site with a really limited weapon set. Are you up for it? (Louis Wu 16:10:53 UTC) (permalink)
Be A Man
Cortana4ever put together a Halo music video (footage from Halo 3, ODST, and Reach) set to the song 'Be a Man' from the Disney movie 'Mulan'. Well-told! (No comments on the melding of Disney and Bungie...) (Louis Wu 16:09:19 UTC) (permalink)
It's out there.
Just a warning - looks like Reach is out there in the wild. This time it seems we can't blame the French; apparently, a group of modders figured out how to fool Xbox.com into allowing a download of the copies put up for some press. (Ouch!) Videos and screenshots are already online, and it's likely that if you hang around on forums, you WILL see spoilers. (We'll do our best to keep them off the HBO forum, but we can't guarantee anything... and we certainly can't help with other places on the interwebs.) So if you're looking to play Reach unspoiled... now might be a good time to go dark. (Louis Wu 13:17:08 UTC) (permalink)
Cover Madness
Looks like Reach will be adorning more than a few magazine covers in September - Skilotonn pointed out the GamePro cover that showed up on Halo Waypoint's Twitter stream, and DigitalReborn has a copy of the OXM that's coming out in a couple of weeks. Ramping up... Update: New Zealand's Game Console, too.
