The added bit is about Irrational Games changing it's name back, which wasn't announced until today. It can be seen in the top right corner of the cover art.

Is the guy with the shotgun in this image the same dude who scratches his helmet with the knife in the reveal trailer?

OK guys I really want to get into this beta. But 2 problems. A)Don't have XBL. B)I'd have to buy a wireless adapter. Which comes to $150. Is it worth it?

I'd say for sure. If Reach is going to be as huge of a multiplayer juggernaut as Halo 2 and 3 over Live, you're going to want to be part of that experience. In addition to the Beta. If Live doesn't strike your fancy after a year, just cancel and sell your adapter on eBay.

Yeah. Well, I'm guessing. Unless there are two guys with skull helmets running around. :p

Dear Frankie,

The people have spoken. They want an Oonsk gamerpic from XBL, available through Halo Waypoint. Also maybe a little avatar Oonsk that hides behind your avatar or does somersaults or something.

Do it for the people.

Love,
Shish

Damn one fine looking cover. I fucking loooovee GI's new cover style! It's the only game mag I get now. Sadly I know most of everything before the issue is out! I hope the new EGM has a more adult design to it!

Makes me think of a cover I'd see from Joypad over here. Adult design for gaming mags is great. Most of the games aren't for kids anyways :D

Are you doing research on MLG Orlando to make sure Reach is still compatible with the MLG circuit?

Too bad for MLG Reach will be a 360 game.

Hopefully they'll change the rules for next season, tD being robbed was just pathetic.

Yes that was insane. To be fair the 360 slim will be out by Reach so it should be much more reliable. That has to be an MLG first.

360 Slim? If one comes out I'm sure it'll be more reliable, but what's this 360 Slim thing? Is it something from CES I missed ? (I'm sure I would have seen it on GAF..)

Nah, it's a good rule. I'd be really pissed off and more than a little disappointed too, but there's no telling how long his box was acting up. Since he's host that sort of thing could have been having an impact the whole match, not just the last few seconds.

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe next time MLG refs will listen to the players (Final Boss told the main stage referee that that Xbox was freezing up, hours before the tD vs Classic game). Oh well hopefully they'll pull back from this and win tomorrow :D

Pure conjecture on my part but it seems a perfect way to once and for all dismiss concerns about hardware quality going into what is their biggest year in the market. They have a plethora of AAA exclusives and Natal. It seems like a no brainer to combine that with a new slim model. Especially after the year Sony has had with their slim.
