Okay, I’m ready…
Well, yesterday was a rather crazy day; seems like many Halo fans spent it looking for codes to get into the Reach Beta. (Bungie dumped 1000+ codes on their front page last night, leaving people in a mad scramble to find a working one; they dumped another 100+ on OUR forum, and passed out a bunch more piecemeal. Seems like they might be done at this point.) If you didn’t get one – don’t fret, the Beta will be live for EVERYONE in just 2 days. In the meantime, here’s a grab-bag of Halo goodies I’ve seen over the last day or so. (This is by no means a complete list; things are crazy right now. It’s just some fun stuff.) First up: Leviathan whipped up funny little comic depicting life on Monday… for some players. (Louis Wu 15:22:53 UTC)

RT: Contest Update
Since starting our Halo: Reach friends and family code giveaways yesterday we’ve already given away four of the six codes. 7imekeeper is enjoying the beta as we speak thanks to the fact he listens to the drunktank. lilsly619 and thesolidhome are both enjoying the beta because they logged into the site and made a journal about Reach some time in the past 24 hours. We don’t yet know who won the code we gave away via our twitter account but we’re sure they’re having a blast.
Don’t be sad though, we’re still going to give away 2 more codes today! We are going to give one away via our YouTube channel so be sure you subscribe to it, and we are going to give one away via our Facebook page…so make sure you “like” us and comment on our status update regarding the Reach beta.
Time is wasting, so get to it!

Creating an artifact from the 26th century
The Halo Waypoint team did an interview with Eric Nylund recently, discussing an item you’ll be able to get your hands on later this fall – Halsey’s Journal, a labor of love included in both the Limited and Legendary Editions of Halo: Reach. The interview will be live on the Waypoint website early next week – but if you don’t want to wait that long, they’ve kindly given us permission to put it up a few days early. C’mon by and give it a read! Awesome stuff.(Louis Wu 04:43:03 UTC)

AH: Reach for the sky!
Good evening folks. We here at Achievement Hunter were lucky enough to end up with a few Halo: Reach Beta codes a bit early, so figured we’d pass the fun on to you. Here are walkthroughs of two of the maps you will be experiencing in the Halo: Reach beta when it goes live next Monday.
First up is “Sword Base.” Sounds awesome.
And here is “Powerhouse.”

Making games THEY want to make
The Bungie Weekly Update is up WAY earlier than usual – and it’s spectacular. Go watch ‘New Beginnings’ – a look at the BUNGIE vision of making great games – and then go on down and read about ways to STILL get codes, the math behind a game rating, and more. (Best Shishka gif EVER. Well, except for that DirtyDiva one…) It’s in our Weekly Update Archive, if you like (mostly) validating code. Did I tell you to watch ‘New Beginnings’? Go watch it.(Louis Wu 20:02:40 UTC)
