CaptainTony stopped in with a link to Joystiq, and an interview with Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman from Heroes, among other credits). Looks like Grunberg will be doing some voice work for Reach next week!(Louis Wu 18:28:25 UTC)

Big Appleton took some stock Halo footage, blended it with some Modern Warfare 2 stuff, and turned out a very short funny. Go see! (Louis Wu 18:28:07 UTC)

Aylmer van As let us know a few days ago that he’d begun translating the Halo 3 cutscenes into Dutch – swing by his YouTube channel to browse through the already-finished ones. More coming! (Louis Wu 18:27:24 UTC)

We last mentioned Project Aftershock, a Halo mod for Crysis, back in December. Recently, we heard from =SW=warlord, the project’s creator – he’s been working steadily, and pointed out the most recent page with the latest updates on the CryMod forum. Gorgeous!(Louis Wu 18:22:35 UTC)

Micro Center is offering Halo Wars for $10 + shipping. (If you have one near you, you don’t even need to pay shipping.) Nice price! Thanks, Black Six.(Louis Wu 18:21:57 UTC)

OXM has a quote from Brian Jarrard that suggests that Reach will probably have Firefight… and that there could be a Matchmaking component to it. Good news for those of us who had trouble finding games when we wanted them! (Please – do not take this newspost as a promise from Bungie that Reach will have Firefight, or that Firefight in Reach will be available via Matchmaking; nothing has been announced, we’re simply trying to read between the lines.)(Louis Wu 18:21:02 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is live at Bungie.net (and, of course, in our Weekly Update Archive, though I had to re-render the funny vid in order to make it show up here). Lots of good stuff – network playtests, droolworthy weapons, great audio clips, clarifications about multiplayer map environments, ridiculous hints, gorgeous wallpaper-ready cover art, suggestions for better on-screen performance, and more. No complaints. No regrets. Just drool.(Louis Wu 02:46:36 UTC)

We missed it yesterday – but Living Dead is the Double XP Weekend list of choice this time around, and it’s live now. B.net has the full details.(Louis Wu 19:40:52 UTC)

Lessee:

• Community Montage Week 3 is a montage
• Raincoat is a jump video
• Symphonies is another montage
• Never Again is yet another montage

Go watch.(Louis Wu 19:38:57 UTC)

FyreWulff is back with another Firefight Friday; this one is set on Security Zone, and you can pick your difficulty. Swing by his forum post for links, and prepare to fight!(Louis Wu 19:38:38 UTC)
