Forum scraping
Wow, I'd forgotten how tough it is to catch up when you've been away for a few days! The crew did an amazing job of bringing you Halo news since I left Thursday - I'm just pointing out a few forum links that might also interest you.
- Gravemind posted his 20,000+ word review of Halo: Reach - response was generally positive. (I haven't had time to read it, myself; like I said, I just got back this afternoon.) If your latest novel just ended... take a look!
- JDQuackers noticed a free Halo: Mobile Edition MMORPG - anyone tried this yet?
- Mazz put together a collection of (mostly) Unearthed panoramas - lovin' these.
- RC Master stopped in with links to films showing off Mythic Reach... done in less than 3 hours, total. Four crazy people (including RC Master) contributed runs.
- Stephen Loftus was able to watch (and film) the destruction of the Savannah... from space. No forcefield distortion! Pretty cool.
- TCKaos noticed a Japanese magazine showing a survey of Japanese gamers, and their satisfaction with various games. Halo: Reach took the very top spot. Whaaaaat?
- Kermit put together a pretty epic recap of Co-op Night, the last HBO forum collective campaign run-through. Definitely worth a read!
There's plenty more in there - this was just the stuff that stuck out in a speed-read of the last 750 posts. (Louis Wu 23:49:41 UTC) (permalink)

300 + 117 = Awesome Shirt
DHalo dropped in to show a pretty awesome shirt design he found over at RIPT Apparel. Definitely worth a click! (GrimBrother One 17:06:11 UTC) (permalink)
Spawn Fail
Alexander Hinkley, an Examiner.com writer, pointed out a spawning flaw in Big Bro Slayer. Camping near a cave wall on Hemorrhage, his teammate went to spawn near him but ended up spawning inside the wall. What's even crazier is the game treated him with a betrayal, and the spurned teammate booted him from the game. In his article, he argued it's not a glitch if the system punished him. Do you agree or disagree?

But where does the 'U' come from?
To test new gametypes and maps for matchmaking, GrifballHub will host three Grifball in Reach Neighborhood Tournaments (GRUNTs) this week. This article provides links to the two new gametypes and three new maps to be tested. The first tournament will be Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST. There's a special prize up for grabs for those who submit their highlight clips!

Machinima.com posted three new Operation Chastity photos (1 | 2 | 3) on its Facebook page. Sounds like that slideshow we mentioned yesterday might need an update now.
