For those of you who missed it, I did something this past weekend that I have never done before—I took my site down to run a sort of pseudo-ARG. The reason for this is simple—I was one of those lucky enough to get early access to the new Defiant Map Pack and I wanted to do something special to gear up for a special mini-arc this week featuring the new maps. The fun started on Friday night with a mysterious exchange between a UNSC General and a storage facility AI and culminating yesterday with an email between two UNSC officials. Because the site was down, I have no way of knowing just how many people actually saw the events that transpired, so if you read it, I would love it if you would comment here and let me know what you thought of it. It was kind of a last-minute event for me, as I only found out on Thursday that I would have access, so I had to throw things together very quickly. I had a blast writing it, though, and I hope you enjoyed reading it just as much.
I’ve added the four log entries to this forum post so that those of you who missed out can catch up, as they tie directly in with the events you’ll see in the comic this week.
Today’s comic is the first part in a special Reach Edition run of comics. It will more than likely read in more of a narrative format due to the lack of custom game availability in the Beta, but I hope it will be enjoyable, nonetheless. Stay tuned to the blog for some Reach screenshots and a couple of Reach film clips from some of my games last night.
