‘Murder Mode’? Really? Pfft.
Ah, springtime (well, not quite) – the smell of new life… and fake video clips. ElzarTheBam pointed out a video purporting to show the opening of the Halo Reach public beta. Consensus of the forum? FAKE. Don’t get fooled, kids; there’ll be REAL leaks out there soon enough, but this ain’t one of ’em.(Louis Wu 16:33:23 UTC)

Exploiting the love
I totally forgot to post this yesterday – it went live Monday night, but Tuesday was a very, very bad day. I didn’t ignore it because I didn’t like it – it was just an oversight. Cody Miller continued his series of Lonely Island parodies – Sh*t in a Box takes a look at pricing for special editions. I’ve been humming this all morning…(Louis Wu 16:21:53 UTC)

A slightly early look at Reach Screens
It looks like EB Games Australia was the first site on the internet to break the embargo on Reach screenshots – you can see eight shots (in relatively low res) directly on their site, plus 3 more that never got linked (9 | 10 | 11). These are the same screens that Game Informer used in their print story – so if you were one of the thousands who checked out the photographed pages that circulated the internet last week, here’s your chance to take a better look. Thanks to Kakansho for the heads-up – the thread of discussion is already quite long! (Louis Wu 16:11:59 UTC)

Hide, Seek, Snap – Round 5 won, Round 6 live
This batch of Hide, Seek, Snap screens must be much easier – we had four responses in a 3-hour span last night. The first successful recreation was sent in by rvbsithhead, who won another Sgt. Johnson code for Firefight. Swing by and see what you can do with the Round 6 shot! (Louis Wu 16:11:34 UTC)

Blood Line #5 – Cover and Summary
CaptainTony pointed out that the cover for Blood Line #5 (the latest Halo comic series from Marvel) is on Marvel’s website, along with a summary. Sounds pretty grim!(Louis Wu 16:10:34 UTC)

Halochief89 stopped in to say that the Halo Clairvoyance story has a new chapter up (though the artwork for it won’t be coming for a bit). Go read it at DeviantART.(Louis Wu 16:10:00 UTC)

RT: Be a Hero! Help Haiti Earthquake Victims by playing Halo.
The guys at Bungie have put together a couple great promotions to help the earthquake victims in the Republic of Haiti. They are donating 100% of the profits they make from a special edition Superintendent tee to the American Red Cross as well as all merchandise they sell in their store until the end of February.
You can also help by playing some Halo 3 or ODST online this Wednesday or Thursday while wearing a special emblem on your Spartan. For every 1,000 players wearing the emblem, Bungie will make a $100 donation (with a max of $77,000) to the Red Cross. You can find all the details on the event here. Rooster Teeth is proud to support the cause and we hope that you’ll join us online on Thursday at 8 PM Central for a Halo 3 playdate. At that time, please send game invites to: JoeAct, DGgeoff, BurnieBurns, ahGus, Monki5225 or BrandonKFA . We’d love to play some grifball and slayer games but what we really want is to see everyone with the special Be a Hero emblem that bungie has designated. Remember, for every thousand players we have, $100 will be donated to the Haiti relief effort.
