Looks like we missed a Firefight Friday Challenge – not sure if they’re still doable after the fact, but I guess FyreWulff would let you know. Cloud City is set on Windward, and has four difficulty options. Check it out! (Louis Wu 23:00:28 UTC)

Back from Internetless World – let’s see if I can catch up on some of the stuff that showed up recently. (mnemesis did a FANTASTIC job of keeping the front page from being empty – but jumping in to run HBO periodically is like sipping from a firehose. Sometimes, you just need to come up…

The Weekly Update went up, er, yesterday (news is hard!). Lots of info about the Invasion gametype and Boneyard (the map it’ll be played on), playlists available during the Beta (it’s super awesome), stuff that won’t be in the Beta (it’s super awesome – wait! No Race?!? That’s NOT super awesome!), control schemes and other…

Part 4 of The Return, the Halo: Evolutions motion comic, is available today on Waypoint. Log in and check it out! You can also view the Waypoint schedule here, to see what they’ve got in store for you.(mnemesis 15:48:56 UTC)

Doh! Totally forgot to note this earlier, but the Double EXP playlist is live for the weekend, and it’s Bigfoot! No, wait, that’s not right. What’re those scary monster things – lots of movies about ’em lately? Vampires? No, er… ooh! Zombies! Yep, zombies, that’s it. What was I saying?(mnemesis 21:16:59 UTC)

Another Friday is upon us, which means it must be time for Friday Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy’s. I hope he’s not calling me, I think I left my cell in the car…(mnemesis 15:08:17 UTC)

Eagle-eyed readers of the front page (what?) will notice that our regular programming has changed a bit. Just a heads up that things are going to continue to be a little different over the next day or so. ::blinks three times fast:: One important addition that I’m so thrilled to see is that Fearless Leader…

Hawty McBloggy’s got cake. Mmmm, cake.(mnemesis 01:29:24 UTC)

There’s a nice hands-on over a Tech Talk, a Singapore-based daily blog that gives another rundown on what we can expect to see soon in Reach. Give it a read!(mnemesis 01:26:04 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue, undeterred by the flood of Reach info, continues his week-long Reclaimer update; today’s episode (Ambush, #247) shows the Cavalcade looking to turn some tables…(Louis Wu 15:17:29 UTC)

Goodness. The same guy who immortalized Geoff Keighley’s rather odd question about Battle bros is back, with a remix of the first Reach ViDoc. I’m gonna have trouble getting that out of my head… thanks, Zeouterlimits.(Louis Wu 15:05:24 UTC)

ElzarTheBam found a link on the Bungie Forums to an image in Major Nelson’s Flickr stream – part of his Halo Reach set. Seems to show off the Flaming Armor effect you’ll get if you buy the Legendary edition. (You can also see a pic of the Elite Officer armor available in the Limited Edition.)…

Because it seems to be a day for front-page pictures, here are some low-res versions of the retail packaging for Halo Reach, as seen (first) on Halo Waypoint:45k32k17k42k45k38k34k60k(The ACTUAL pictures aren’t quite as low-res as the thumbs. Don’t forget to click.) Update: REAL pictures can now be found at Bungie.net. ‘scuse me while I wipe…

The Latest Bungie ViDoc went live this morning – Carnàge Carnivàle is an adrenaline-filled look at what’s coming in the Halo Reach Beta. Devs tell you what’s cool, and why. 8 minutes of awesome. Update: this is available on YouTube, for you Philistines out there… (Louis Wu 10:28:12 UTC)
