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

Together We Will Rise
The Reach Developer Blog posted a really nice little bonus last night – ‘On the Wings of Love’ is a QuickTIme VR movie of an air-to-air assassination, seen from any angle. If you don’t like QT, NeoGAF’s Letters whipped up a GIF version (9.6 mb).(Louis Wu 13:48:03 UTC)

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)

One Final Effort
There’s an amazing new article up at Bungie.net today – One Final Effort details the memories that have stuck with Halo 2’s developers over the years. It’s an incredible collection of thoughts, regrets, reminiscences, pictures, and video. Spend a little while digging through it.(Louis Wu 22:55:45 UTC)
