Transition Plan

Starting this weekend, I will start hosting off-night clan sessions in Halo 3 matchmaking. If it wasn't obvious already, I am getting us ready for the launch of Halo Reach. I am, generally speaking, available all nights (other than Tue/Wed) after 9:30pm PT. To accommodate those in other time zones, I am happy to pre-schedule earlier nights as well. Leave a comment or reply on e-mail if you have requests for days/times.

Also, since people keep asking me, the way you get invited into the Halo Reach multiplayer beta is via the Halo 3 ODST game disc. I've posted about this before, but there are a number of outlets where you can get it for cheap now. GameFly was offering used copies for $20. Other outlets are offering it at varying prices: Amazon $49.99 new w/ free shipping, Gamestop $44.99 used, Amazon $35.78 used w/ free shipping, eBay ~$30 w/ shipping included.

Expect us to fully convert to Halo Reach when it launches this fall. You should also expect that all clan nights while the Halo Reach multiplayer beta is active will involve the Reach beta. ODST was unfortunately a dud with limited 4-player Xbox Live play. Halo Reach brings back the full 16 player multiplayer experience with a TON of new changes to the Halo universe. With the new active roster, clan nights will (in theory) run smoother than they ever have in the past. w00t!
