Nice week of updates to show off all the hard work you guys have been putting in. Although Reach was cheekily revealed before E3, the official teaser was excellent, as was the ODST footage. Two Halo games to look forward to is never a bad thing.

Have a good weekend.

Of course E3 comes to an end AGAIN and Bungie drop the biggest bombshell of the expo AGAIN with Halo:Reach (Natal.... what's Natal??).... This march towards world domination seems to be picking up pace rapidly... soon Bungie will rule it all! Mwah hahahahaaaa! I, of course, will be a willing member of the Bungie Empire and will play my part to achieve great success (even if this means continuous coffee shop runs for the Bungie leaders... we all need frequent warm mugs of energy to keep us running right??!!)

Can't wait for halo odst...
and halo odst swag (hint) :P

What!! No Battle Rifles!! The things were all over the place in HALO 2 and HALO 3, where'd they all go?

That question was retorical(ish), but here's one from the fourms which isn't:
Which retailers have been selected for the pre-order Johnson bonus? (UK retailers for me please, but some US fourm members are confused too). Oh, and will the colecters edition have any other exclusive features, or just the controler?

The Halo: Reach announcement was a fantastic surprise. And since no new Elder Scrolls was announced then I dare say it may have been the best at e3.

Anyways, I was wondering about two specific weekly update entries. They happen to be this weeks and 5/15. Both time mentioning Major Nelson. I was just wondering if Bungie had a beef with Major, and what happened?

no BR?

Maybe you should update the pic in the Field Guide/Ordnance SOEIV 'DROP POD' article. It could cause confusion because it clearly shows a BR as one of the weapons included in the drop pod.

  • 06.06.2009 1:13 AM PDT

OH YEh hope i get drawn for that awsome ODST SWAG!!!!

  • 06.06.2009 1:14 AM PDT

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

Dare was funny^^, so was the prophet hologram pic. I think im slightly obsessed with this game, which is why im obviously trying to get the ODST swag.

I can't wait for September 22nd. Firefight sounds awesome. Hopefully more info and pics will be released on the 3 new multiplayer maps soon too.

  • 06.06.2009 1:15 AM PDT

My wet dream is some sort of combination between Reach and Natal... mmmmm....

  • 06.06.2009 1:17 AM PDT

So no BR in ODST. I guess the new pistol is a bit like a BR anyway.

No recon Contest :(

There's over 1417 replies in here. Those are some hilarious odds.

Did anyone else find urk's humour in this particular update to be rather hilarious? I found myself lol'ing at the way he replied to all of those FAQs from the ODST forum.

Speaking of which, the whole 'Mar..' thing, was so, so clearly was going to be Marketplace that I couldn't help but force my eyes to look like 'o.O' everytime someone said 'March'.

Sweet drop, urk. Drop some more, you know you want to ;)

So we get our fill of ODST this year and soon after we get Reach. Seems like it will be some good years.

Oh and that swag is awesome. Me want...

  • 06.06.2009 1:21 AM PDT

Gotta love that story,
It's good to know how characters heads get made so big
(or should I say why characters bodies are so thin) :)
