Halo Timeline at the Escapist
The Escapist has put up a Halo timeline – it’s not a timeline of events IN the Halo universe, it’s a timeline of how the Halo universe has grown. Pretty interesting piece of work! Thanks to Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, for noticing.(Louis Wu 15:20:13 UTC)

A Monument to All Your Sins
kornman00 found a really amazing easter egg (set of eggs?) near the end of the game – he’s done a pretty nice job of documenting it. SERIOUS spoilers, obviously. Also serious coolness. Much <3, Bungie. (Louis Wu 13:06:22 UTC)

Unique Halo 3 shirt
I’ve never heard the term ‘upcycled’ before – but there’s a pretty interesting women’s top on Etsy right now, and it started with a Halo 3 shirt. If you like it, hurry – there’s only one. (Louis Wu 13:05:43 UTC)

Dotage
Penny Arcade has another Reach-related comic today; no newspost (yet), but I’d guess there’ll be followup when it’s posted. Thanks, hnc. (Louis Wu 13:01:28 UTC)

How did YOU spend Monday night?
HaLo2FrEeEk went to a Gamestop midnight opening to buy Reach… and got teabagged by a Spartan. (Sounds like he enjoyed it, too.) Go check out the film!(Louis Wu 12:59:10 UTC)

Talkin’ about Campaign
We’re asking that folks be polite in our forum – if you’re going to post Campaign spoilers, that you flag your posts with an *SP* tag in the subject line, and that if you’re posting inside of a thread that isn’t COMPLETELY devoted to spoilers, that you actually spoiler-tag your content. (Basic instructions on how to do that can be found here.) However, if you’d like to simply chat with others about the game, and you find this all too restricting, Hawaiian Pig has pointed out that the #hbo channel on the Adelais IRC server is full of folks who’d love to help you out. Go join ’em!(Louis Wu 12:56:14 UTC)

Smoothing out the bumps
When you launch a new title, and a few million people all start accessing things at once, I suppose you can expect issues. Yesterday, Bungie posted a bunch of things that might help you if you’re having trouble:- Folks having trouble redeeming codes that come with the Limited or Legendary editions, read this
- Folks having trouble with networking, read this
- Folks wondering about Campaign Matchmaking, read this
- Folks wondering what happened to their favorite Bungie.net feature that was JUST THERE, read this
Keep an open mind, and if you run into a problem, don’t panic – it’s early days, yet.(Louis Wu 12:39:19 UTC)

The Escapist: 5/5
Everything in Halo: Reach feels like a love letter to the series and its fans – that is, the ones that aren’t going to ignore the single-player and immediately jump into spending hours online with the multiplayer.

RT: Zombies
I don’t know what it is (maybe the idea of Burnie as coach), but I really dug today’s comic. I think it might be my new favorite. Great job Luke and Griffon!

AH: Halo: Reach Achievement Race
Hello there. Now as you may or may not know, there are three AAA titles that are coming out on September 14th! Pretty crazy, huh? They’re Cabela’s North American Adventures, Truth or Lies, and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.
Now we would usually have an achievement race for one of these big games, but I thought we would change it up a little this time. Another game is coming out on September 14th, it’s called Halo: Reach. So this time the Achievement Hunter Community Race will be for that game. Give the little, not-so-well-known games a chance for once.
So, leave your Gamertag in the race comments if you would like to participate. Sign-ups will be open until the game is released on September 14th. That is also when the race will start.
Race has officially started! Click on the image above to check your standing!
