    We got word from the Russian Halo Community that at least SOME of the concept art that appeared yesterday (purportedly for Reach) was actually done by Robert Brown, an artist in California, and was seen by a member of halouniverse.ru more than half a year ago. It’s not Bungie-related, it’s not even Halo-related – it’s…
