Brian Jarrard talked to CVG about the Activision deal; it’s not really Halo-related, except in the sense that it’s what comes next for the ‘Halo’ studio, but it’s pretty worthwhile reading in any case, if you’re a Bungie fan.

Yesterday’s Grin + Bear It is a cute little tribute to Hawty McBloggy, who celebrates 3 years of Halo-based sexual innuendos tomorrow. Happy Birthday, HMB! (While you’re there reading the funnies, check out this photo of a scarab beetle – Halo imagery is EVERYWHERE!) (Louis Wu 12:49:34 UTC)

One of the bigger complaints that proponents of ‘skill-based’ Halo play have with the Reach Beta centers around reticle bloom.
