@h83r: Well they are testing a new disc format for the 360 which apparently lets them put another gb on there or so. So they had the update on the disc for me and it updated my firmware to be able to play the game I suppose. But yea I think they just wanted to see if it worked so they sent out the copy of Reach to test it.
So today I received the "special" Halo Reach disc from Microsoft for their Dashboard Update preview program. It's really not anything special as far as I've noticed but I thought it was kind of neat to share. Update: Just installed the game. It installed at 6.7 gbs and OG Reach installed at 6.6. Mind blowing right??? Also, Microsoft seems to be still pro with the Word Art.
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)
