Everything in Halo: Reach feels like a love letter to the series and its fans – that is, the ones that aren’t going to ignore the single-player and immediately jump into spending hours online with the multiplayer.

The Escapist has put together a pretty graphical timeline for the Halo franchise. Not the events in-game, but the history of the franchise itself, from Bungie’s founding in 1991 to Reach’s release earlier this week.

I’ve now put up a Reach Reviews Page to succeed the old Halo 3 Reviews page. There’s also a front-page block on the right that shows the latest new reviews. Feel free to submit your own review!

Nothing to do with Bungie directly, but I did write a couple of blog posts about the recent discussion on the interwebz in general (and at Penny Arcade in specific) about the used game market, spurred by comments made by THQ’s Cory Ledesma earlier this…

Bungie AI programmer Max Dyckhoff last month mentioned a long-standing bug in Halo’s driving code he’d found and eliminated. He was later kind enough to go into a bit more detail about how Halo’s AI figures out how to handle driving and riding in vehi…

Well here is my attempt at writing out Unyielding. I know that its not 100% correct but please do appreciate it.

According to Stosh Sketch (via HBO and NeoGAF) Bungie had to “outsource” its Bungie Day gift for this year… not sure what that means, but in a few hours I suppose we’ll find out. UPDATE: Stosh Sketch goes on in that NeoGAF thread to say that this y…

Dust and Bones from the track Delta Halo Suite in Halo 2 Volume 2. It is very similar to Heavy Price Paid.

Here’s a score I arranged for musicians. Its from the cutscene when your dropping from your pod in the initial cutscene. “We are dropping in hell troopers! Time to grow a pair!”

Farthest Outpost for piano. Not difficult to play. I’ll provide with a .zip file later.

One of my favorite songs in the Game!!!! Same rules!!!

Here is yet another one. More to come soon. Same rules apply as to the other ones posted.

Halo: Reach music from E3 2009. They showed a teaser with this music playing in the background. Sounds great on a keyboard string sound. I just want everyone to know that the title I put on the sheet music is not the actual title. I just wanted a good…

I have now completely revised this song. It is still in 4/4 time but, it seems to be more acurate still. Tell me if I’ve improved. This is the complete 2nd movement of the song, Follow Our Brothers. This movement of the song sounds very si…
