In going over John_117’s video list, I found a GameSpot-hosted 15-minute stage demo from ComicCon in which Sketch and Shishka show off Forge World and some other fun bits – lots of stuff to think about! Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:03:47 UTC)

xIIEnderIIx noticed that the new Reach Avatar items are now available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Some of those are pretty steep!(Louis Wu 14:03:31 UTC)

Back in March, when the Arena was revealed, Ferrex spent a couple of hours answering fan questions on the Bungie.net forum. We pulled out his answers, reformatted them for easy reading, and posted a local archive. Last night, he did the same thing, thi…

It’s Friday, right? So there’s probably a new Friday Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy’s, right? Right. She’s got amusing responses to last week’s pic, of course, and for this week’s pic, she chose the Blame Stosh replacement pic Brian included in last Fri…

FyreWulff continues his Fire Team Zulu challenges, Forge World bombshells notwithstanding – today’s choices include a Campaign challenge on Coastal Highway, and another on Tayari Plaza. (No Firefight challenges at all this week.) They both sound fun -…

We mentioned yesterday that G4 was going to liveblog the Reach Panel at SDCC – they did. If you don’t feel like reading the liveblog replay, Kaboris transcribed the whole shebang on our forum. Interesting read!(Louis Wu 13:22:23 UTC)

ElzarTheBam pointed out a thread on Bungie.net that links to a YouTube video showing off screenshots we haven’t seen elsewhere yet. There’s a warning that there might be Campaign spoilers mixed in here – but I’m pretty sure that’s a totally baseless f…

John_117 collected all the video links he could find in one place – swing by and see what you might have missed!(Louis Wu 13:21:08 UTC)

Halo Waypoint interviewed a couple of employees from Acme Archives Direct, a company that prints Halo artwork (among other properties). Interesting discussion, and gorgeous pieces! Thanks, CaptainTony.(Louis Wu 13:20:18 UTC)

GameTrailers has some Firefight video from the ComicCon show floor – same city map Bungie showed off at E3. If you can’t play, at least you can watch. Thanks, AfroRyan.(Louis Wu 13:20:00 UTC)

GameSpot has a great interview with Chad ‘Shishka’ Armstrong, discussing the ins and outs of Forge 2.0 and Forge World. Almost nine minutes of creativey goodness! Thanks again, Minime637. (There’s a writeup, as well, at IGN – no video, but a couple of …

IGN posted a pair of vids – one shows off the Armory (at least what’s in it from the start), the other previews Firefight – a bunch of new info about what we’re in for in September. Thanks, Minime637.(Louis Wu 13:18:45 UTC)

Only three new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week – but it’s a pretty interesting variety! Go read ’em.(Louis Wu 13:17:51 UTC)

To really get a feel for Forge World, which will ship with Reach, Bungie’s posted a few dozen new screenshots – swing by their website and browse! Warning: Gorgeosity Overload Imminent.(Louis Wu 10:06:21 UTC)

Another video is available today on Bungie.net, or watchable on YouTube; it’s 3 Bungie bigwigs, showing off all the new retail goodies you’ll be able to buy on September 14. (To my knowledge, Bungie’s never done this before… but Reach is a slightly d…

So yesterday, while your friendly neighborhood site updater was out until 2 am, Bungie turned the Halo world on its ear at San Diego ComicCon. We’ll catch up at some point, but let’s get started with the big stuff… and the biggest stuff was a new Vi…
