    So earlier today Bungie, with the aid of Rooster Teeth, released a Chess gametype for Reach.  You guys might remember the gametype from their April Fools Day prank from 2 years ago.  Anyway I think this is a pretty sweet addition to Reach and it is really neat that their engine could play this.  Along with their new playlists like Action Sack, which is made up of some crazy gametypes, and Team Classic, which brought some very well made old Halo maps built in Forge, I think Reach has really been given some new legs as of late.   
     
    The directions on how to get the gametype are in this Achievement Hunter video:
      

      But heres the basics: 
    1.  Download the gametype from Achivement Hunter's file share on Bungie.net here
    2.  Go into a Forge game on Forge World with the Chess gametype on. 
    3.  Place down a hill marker anywhere you want, go into advance options and change the Game Type Label to board center. 
    4.  Save it and go nuts in a custom game (No bots you need to play your friend)

    It's nice that someone made this as an April Fool's joke, but c'mon, you can't even do checkmate?

    Find it funny that people came in and made fun of one mode, albeit a pretty throwaway one, out of a thousand possible modes in a game.
