Lots of odd moments.Ain’t nothin’ wrong with…

HaLo2FrEeEk has spherized the final Halo: Reach Beta map, Overlook – the scrollable version is spectacular, though the sphere itself might not do the beauty of Overlook justice. There are plenty of options, though – so go see!(Louis Wu 15:57:55 UTC)

CinemaBlend has posted some Reach Beta Impressions – they’re noteworthy simply because they’re positive, from a site that rarely, if ever, has anything nice to say about the Halo franchise. (The article was written by a new games writer, so that might have something to do with it…) Give it a read!(Louis Wu 13:32:58 UTC)

Chris10023 sent word of a special episode of Halo 3 Fails – this one’s entitled ‘Halo Reach Fails’ and contains (surprise!) head-slapping moments from the Beta. I think every clip includes me…(Louis Wu 13:20:13 UTC)

A few days ago, we mentioned that Hedgemony was offering to photo-manipulate your Reach screenshot to make a cool Beta keepsake; a LOT of people took him up on it. His Tumblr collection now has 79 images in it – and some of them are EPIC. Go look!(Louis Wu 13:19:43 UTC)

Only one new piece for you this week in the Fan Fiction section – there HAD been three, but two didn’t make the (pretty low) minimum quality bar. If you’re submitting content, please – be sure to read the submission guidelines first. Thanks!(Louis Wu 13:15:16 UTC)

Marcus put up a post on the Bungie Developer Blog yesterday – this is the last week of ‘content polishing’, now they’re entering a hardcore bug-squashing phase. They’re working hard to make sure Reach is everything we want it to be, come fall!(Louis Wu 13:14:29 UTC)

We got word of a Halo: Reach Beta Trick Jumping vid from K R ii Z ii C, FACC x Ryahoe x, and Resix. (Yes, that’s far too many z’s and x’s in just three names.) Some cool stuff – not a lot of time to test it out for yourself, though!(Louis Wu 19:51:55 UTC)

Mjolnir Tactics has a whole passel of panoramas for your viewing pleasure – so get to viewing! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 19:27:20 UTC)

The Halo: Reach Beta is still going (I just finished a Headhunter game in 2nd place, with 22 skulls), but things are getting weird; if you play, you might experience some unpredictable stuff. Officially… it’s done. You play now, you’re playing at your own risk.(Louis Wu 19:18:38 UTC)

Just a single full-length vid available today in Bungie’s Comm Chatter: Killpie has a new Ten FTW episode – Halo: Reach Beta Kills. Lots of multikills.(Louis Wu 19:16:55 UTC)
