April Fools day is over but I figured it would be worth bringing Bungie's April Fools joke to your attention. Halo Chess isn't happening obviously, but we are given a look at some new gameplay for Halo: Reach. Also, this video is totally worth it for how Luke Timmins ends the video. Classic.

The Halo: Reach multiplayer beta is just over a month away now! Check out our preview for Halo: Reach and prepare for some crazy Friday Night Fights here at Destructoid!

Halo: Reach - Zugzwang Evolved [Bungie]

I wish Luke Smith has stayed in journalism, he used to ask great questions in interviews.

Too bad. I was actually interested in playing a Halo game finally because of that.

That would be a pretty badass map it would be chaotic no place to move or dodge.

Very funny 'n all but I'd love to play that. I really hope it's a custom game variant.

The funniest part was when they talked about "doing something new" with Halo. Ha ha! Good one Bungie!

That would actually be pretty cool. Used to play Battlechess all day long on my old Amiga. Lovechess just isn't the same thing.

I know its just a joke but that should totally be in the final game. Peoples reactions have been really positive to it, Bungie might put it in for the laugh!

The Covenant would make a sweet chess set, wouldn't be too hard to fudge one up for the humans.
