Reach Customz 4: Jump Rope
Timgie's back with another episode of Reach Customz - watch it to learn how to play Jump Rope. It's an Infection gametype that's similar to Writer's Mind - Zombies are in vehicles, trying to splatter Humans, while Humans do their best to jump over vehicles as they come down the hill. Last Man Standing gets a jetpack. Looks like fun! (Louis Wu 13:55:12 UTC)

Reach Customz Ep 3: Cloneball
Timgie released another episode of Reach Customz, this one focusing on the Cloneball gametype. Did you know that holograms will trigger mines? I didn't - but they do, and you can use this to set up a gametype where the goal is to get your hologram into the enemy goals, while stopping THEIR holograms from reaching YOUR goals. It looks really fun - go grab it and try it out with your friends! (Louis Wu 14:09:12 UTC)

Fans Were Given Choices, ATLAS Shrugged, and 12pm Said Hello
Yesterday evening turned out to be a pretty good news night on the Halo front, with the New York City Comic Con yielding some nice tidbits...
- 343 Industries formally announced the inclusion of High Noon/Hang 'Em High to the lineup of maps coming out with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Check out the IGN Interview with Max Hoberman from Certain Affinity.
- Also shown off was some of the very cool new upgrades and features coming soon to Halo Waypoint, across all mediums. Gamespot has a feature previewing what's coming, including a very interesting new program called "ATLAS", which streams data from any multiplayer game you are in to an app on your Windows Mobile Phone in real time, potentially giving you an armored-leg up on the competition. Also discussed are the new Custom Challenges that you can create for your friends to attempt in Halo: Reach. Sweet!
- HBO Member Simpsons Rule also left us an awesome write-up on our forums detailing his first-hand experience and impressions at the Halo Panel from the NYCCC. If you weren't there, and want a great fan's perspective, definitely check this out and offer your own thoughts!
We will of course be adding more as the various news sites start making their own reports, but until now, enjoy! (GrimBrother One 18:13:50 UTC)

It's Bungie Day! Er...
The Title Update Beta Hopper is online on Xbox LIVE - go play and see how 85% bloom suits you! If you want the gametypes for customs, FyreWulff has your back - 85% Bloom Slayer is already available in his Fileshare, and more variants will be coming soon. (The title for this newspost comes from the fact that when you log in to Reach today, you get a message welcoming you to Bungie Day - oops. Don't let this put you off - the new gametypes are a lot of fun!) Update: Der Flatulator6 has added three more gametypes to his Fileshare: 3 flag CTF, 3 Plot Territories, and Zero Bloom Slayer DMRs - go grab copies! Update 2: the splash screen's been updated with a REAL Title Update splash (looks like this). (Louis Wu 14:37:23 UTC)

Kampy's No Bloom Montage
Kampy, a frequent montage creator, whipped up a video showing off zero bloom gameplay, recorded in customs games the night the gametype was released. If you want to see how fast Halo becomes when accurate shooting combines with zero bloom... watch this. (Thanks, Gabotron ES.)

Go ahead and try out No Bloom
Devin Olsen stopped by last night to point out the No Bloom gametype Halo Waypoint released - it requires the TU to function, and is currently only available in Custom games. Folks have already modified it to work with, for example, MLG settings (GAF's eeblogue released two versions, described here), and with crazy kill-real-fast gametypes (FyreWulff put together Super Swat 64, described here). Some love these, some hate them. Try them for yourself!
