NeoGAF’s Shake Appeal is full of useful info these days. He’s got some basic weapons tips (I’m not sure I’d call these ‘basic’, in the sense that they’re useful to fair-to-middlin’ players too), and he put together a default weapon/vehicle timer chart…

Want to customize your Invasion experience? urk (and Bungie’s Joseph Ainsworth) can help. Swing by Bungie.net for a guide on Forging Invasion. Awesome!(Louis Wu 19:32:36 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Popeck posted a video clip from a CTF game yesterday; there’s nothing really special about it, except that it shows very nicely the teamwork that Reach engenders, and the epic moments that can ensue. (The ending ROCKS.)(Louis Wu 19:30:…

Dave ‘Evil Otto’ Candland stopped by our forum with some news about multiplayer emblems in Reach – yes, a bunch have been removed (for memory reasons, mostly, but also in a few cases to avoid intellectual property issues going forward), and no, there a…

Bungie’s Mark Noseworthy is doing a cool thing – he’s taken his Reach Xbox 360 console, gotten it signed by the Bungie team, and put it up on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Brian Wood Memorial Trust. (Brian was a developer with another s…

Major Nelson’s pretty happy with Reach’s Day One Sales (over $200 million). I would be, too! (While it’s below MW2’s $310 million last year, it’s ALL ON ONE PLATFORM – and that’s amazing.) (Louis Wu 18:49:30 UTC)

Sometimes it pays to live in a country that gets too few video games. Alessandro De Vescovi let us know that Gamestop in Italy was giving away R/C Warthogs to Halo Reach preorders they couldn’t fill (standard edition preorders, even!). Not bad!(Louis …

Willy tested the range of a Gauss Hog’s round… it’s longer than Forge World, that’s for sure. How different from the days when a tank shell shot across Blood Gulch would vanish before hitting the far wall!(Louis Wu 18:47:47 UTC)

Ayanechan pointed out a video of Elodie Adamas playing the Halo theme on the violin… great vid! (I love the drummer…) (Louis Wu 18:46:32 UTC)

While at the NYC Reach Launch Event, Mig stole my camera and took a bunch of pictures. (You should be happy he did – if he hadn’t, there wouldn’t be ANY pictures, because I’m not smart enough to take it out of my pocket.) Captions assume you’re going …

So the folks at the Geek Speak Radio Show asked me if I’d participate on the show; I’m not sure I didn’t chase all their listeners away, but if you want to hear me doing my best to make Halo accessible to non-Halo players, go listen! (Elites have “hor…
