Hollywood Halo: HMV Hell: Reach Trailer
Longtime Halo fans will remember Hollywood Halo - a machinima clan from the Halo 2 days. They're back, and HMV Hell: Reach has a trailer up now. Thanks, Joe Duplessie.
Update: imSuck dropped us a line to explain that this entire film will be made using Bungie Pro, rendering the needed clips as 720p downloadable files. He wanted everyone to understand that making machinima no longer requires a $250 HD capture card - you can do it entirely with Bungie's services. Nice! (Louis Wu 16:44:35 UTC)

Unsure about buying the Halo: Reach Official Soundtrack? Go check out the review at G4TV - they loved it.

Thanks, Greg O'Connor-Read. (Louis Wu 00:59:20 UTC)

Reach: Now with Auto Mute
Anton P. Nym's sharp eyes saw a quote in a recent ars technica article about surviving the idiots on Xbox LIVE - ferrex says that Reach has a feature where if too many people mute you in-game, you'll start being auto-muted by the system. Nice!

Represent.
I've been remiss; we got word a little while ago from Technical Sergeant Lionel Gillis from the 169 Air Support Operations Squadron - they've whipped up a new squadron patch... and Halo players might recognize it. Nice! (Louis Wu 14:57:56 UTC)

New Halo Toys - coming soon
Stephen Loftus noticed some new Halo items coming soon - Toychest News has info about upcoming Halo Reach action figures (they'll be here in September), and Alter Ego Comics is shwoing off a pre-order for a Cortana vinyl 8-inch statue (you can own this in December). Also coming in September is a radio-controlled Scorpion, to go along with your Warthog, Mongoose, and Hornet). Nice! Update: AvatarofChaosvX passed along a sell sheet for Reach Series 1, found on The Collectorate's forum (login needed to see original thread). (Louis Wu 14:38:40 UTC)

Massive Halo CE News Roundup
Our Halo CE watcher has sent along a pretty amazing update of what's going on around the Custom Edition community - explore these links!
- Ifafudafi released a video showing off the new particle effects he's added to the Plasma Pistol (along with tons of interesting commentary)
- ShadowSpartan has been working on a real-time Tag Editor; check out the video to watch the interface in action. No more text editing, saving changes, firing up Halo, looking at the change, quitting, re-editing, etc - now you can see your changes as you play. Pretty cool!
- Siliconmaster's Precipice is getting awfully pretty!
- CtrlAltDestr0y2 has been playing with the flamethrower effects - nice work! - and has added a feature that not even Halo 3 had: destructible projectiles.
- Project Lumoria continues to evolve - check out the latest pics, they're gorgeous.
- There's a cool Firefight-type map that gives you credits for finishing waves, which you can use to purchase weapons - interesting!
- An open letter to the developers of Halo 2 Vista has been written - some thought-provoking views in there.
- And finally, some fans are putting together a virtual convention to celebrate the community - nice!
There's an awful lot of life in this community; go see what folks are doing! (Louis Wu 14:08:59 UTC)

Halo 3 - a big seller
Xbox Product Director Aaron Greenberg crowed on Twitter yesterday that Halo 3 outsold (in the US) Resistance 1 and 2, Uncharted 1 and 2, Killzone 2 and God of War III - combined. I'd seen it mentioned in passing on a random site, but passed on it because a quick count seemed to suggest it was wrong... but when ElusiveEagle519 pointed it out again, I did a little more digging - and it seems the claim DOES hold up - if you look at US sales. Nice! (Louis Wu 14:23:57 UTC)
