Invaded
With an article entitled ‘Post Invasion Debut Speculation‘, Dani continues his drive to place Forward Unto Dawn into the preeminent ‘Halo Analysis Website’ slot – I’d have to say he’s doing an awesome job! He’s gone through the GTTV footage with a fine-toothed comb, and pulled out some tidbits you might have missed. Go check it! (Louis Wu 14:49:57 UTC)

Anger, Sadness and Envy Episode 14: ODST Pt. 2
A deeper look at ODST– what worked and what didn’t in this small-team, short-cycle Bungie experiment that landed with the profile of a fat expansion and the pricetag of a discounted full title.
Show Highlights:
Keep On Truckin’
GamesRadar: 7/10
Was ODST a Good Idea?
Demise of Chronicles
Comes With Beta (or The Crackdown Factor)
Full Game vs Expansion
What Would 343 Do?
What’s Good in ODST?
Will it Rain on Reach?
Time Flies
Finding My Way
An Uplifting Preserve
NMPD HQ FTW
Playing Detective
Clues tTat Work…
…and Those That Don’t
Kikowani Station
Mission… Accomplished?
Allowing For Failure
Breaking the Finale
Blowing the Bridge (or not)
Carrots and Sticks
Death From AboveFor those wondering, we ambushed Blackstar late at night on his birthday with a 3-hour recording session he wasn’t fully prepared for, and that accounts for him being quiet in this episode (that and the fact that I don’t know when to shut up). More of his contributions will be in the second half of this episode, which looks ahead to the Multiplayer Beta of Halo Reach.
This is the enhanced AAC version of this podcast.

RT: The Odd Couple
It’s always been my assertion that there’s no wrong way to play a video game, as long as you’re having fun playing it. Some people however, have a more narrow view.

Podtacular 223: Reach Beta Multiplayer Maps
Download
Now since the Halo 2 farewell project is done, I had time to get his little gem from last week edited and put out. It was actually uploaded yesterday, but I forgot to make the post (failboat!). On this episode, we discuss the information released about the multiplayer maps for reach on IGN and Bungie.net. We wend into each of the maps: Overlook, Powerhouse and Sword Base. We still don’t know anything about Bone Yard and the accompanying gametype, Invasion. Special guest bs Angel from Hawty McBloggy came on the show and talked about her interests in Halo and its community, and what she does on her site. We also had community member Nobudy visit as well. We’ll see you at the Beaver Zone. Enjoy

BWU: 041610
Bungie Weekly Update‘s up – and it’s a good read. Info on what’s coming in the Beta (including nice descriptions of gametypes), a fun pic of Joe Staten… and a Stosh-uncovered video that should make you laugh. You can, as usual, read this in our Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose. (All resources are local, there. As usual.)(Louis Wu 23:48:18 UTC)
