Halo Reach Tribute – Bodhisvatta Cathedral
Cortana4ever whipped up a tribute to Reach – contains lots of spoilers, but if you’ve finished the campaign, it’s a nice emotional farewell to Bungie’s involvement in the series. (Louis Wu 16:18:11 UTC)

Noble Map Pack
Bungie announced yesterday the release of the Noble Map Pack that is to be released on November 30th for 800 M$ points. The first of the new maps is Anchor 9, based on the orbital platform from the campaign level “Long Night of Solace”. No space battles, but you get to play outside in low gravity again. The second map is Tempest, a forerunner-like map with a slight resemblance to Relic. It has the same aesthetics as Forge World, but we can’t tell if it’s on the Ark or Halo. Last up is Breakpoint, based off of the campaign level “The Package”. It feels like an exposed area of where Halsey’s lab in the forerunner structure is on Reach. This map is built for invasion, but I could have seen it being a regular map as well. Discuss in the forums.

Halo Reach Birth of a Spartan
Birth of a Spartan is not coming along so well. I have had a few technical difficulties with Finale and have finally fixed a few problems only to realize that this song is very hard to put into sheet music. I cant seem to find a way to get it to sound right. I have the entire song figured out till the end from what I believe to be the correct notes but I am kind of stuck putting the part where Carter is about to recieve his augmentations into shet music. I havent found a way to put that part on Finale yet but in time it will happen.
Keep looking at this blog for updates on how it is working out and maybe even an estimated time of arrival. Leave a comment or email me if you think you can help or have any suggestions. When the sheet music is finally here I will move this blog into the sheet music section.
UPDATE: Ironically after I posted this I found out the perfect way to put it in sheet music! Now I am at the part where Carter’s eyes turn blue. Once again if you have any suggestions feel free to leave a comment. If you would like to help me out with Finale leave a comment asking me and I will send you the file via email.

Humpday Challenge: HaloGAF
I would have lost money on this match had I bet on it… but Bungie faced off against the Halo fans from NeoGAF last night – and beat them. (Well, in two games, anyway. The third game, against what could be described as the HaloGAF Dream Team, was, in the words of GhaleonEB, “a mauling for the ages”.) The writeup is pretty entertaining, and the visual assets are great. Go see. (The second game, of course, IS available online – video from tashi’s viewpoint is here, game stats are here. That’s what’s known as a ‘Double Steaktacular’.)(Louis Wu 22:06:39 UTC)

AH: Extra Life This Weekend!

Hey guys, I don’t know if you caught it or not in this week’s AHWU, but Geoff and I will be participating in this year’s Extra Life.
“What is Extra Life?” you might ask. Well, Extra Life is a charity event where you donate money to folks who have promised to sit down and play video games for a solid 24 hours. Geoff and I are going to be doing just that from 8am CST on Saturday the 16th until 8am on Sunday.
You’ll be able to tune in on Achievement Hunter to watch us live and chat along while we play games all day. I’m sure we’ll be also playing Reach and other games with folks throughout the day. We’ll be broadcasting live for the entire event, so you can watch us slowly devolve into madness. We’ll also be having special guests drop by, so keep tuned for that!
You can read more about Extra Life at their official website, but more importantly, you can donate to the Achievement Hunter team right here. Just pick someone you want to donate to and click on the donate button next to their name. The money you donate will go to the hospital that that person has picked to play on behalf of.
You can also check out our Extra Life Group on here for more information on the team.
So, mark down a few hours to check out the antics from the Achievement Hunter office and if you have the ability to, donate a few bucks on behalf of sick kids. See you on Saturday!
