Classes are out, Elites are in
Two early topics of discussion (and worry) about Halo: Reach were the presence (or absence) of class-based warfare and the presence (or absence) of Elites in Multiplayer. In a video interview over at Gamespot, Marcus Lehto nails down both of these issues, pretty clearly. (Fast-forward to about 1:30 in, if you’re impatient, though the whole interview is worth listening to.) Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 12:51:46 UTC)

AH: One more Bioshock 2 vid to start the weekend off
Sorry for the delay on this one. I wanted to get it out earlier today, but encountered some unexpected technical problems. Anyway, that’s all fixed now, so why not just enjoy this guide to the hidden audio logs in Level Seven of Bioshock 2: Fontaine Futuristics.

Firing Neurons, and GIFs you can’t unsee
We didn’t post this last night – but you should go read the Bungie Weekly Update, cause there’s lots of good stuff in it. There’s a recap of the Reach reveal this week (with some tantalizing comments about changes in how things work), along with a summary of the cash raised for Haiti, some information about ways you can win cool stuff for Reach by participating in the sendoff for Halo 2, a reminder of the 1 vs 100 show with Marty and Frank last night (did you watch?), and some Valentines goodies from Stosh. Check it out! As always, you can find a copy in our Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose.(Louis Wu 13:18:48 UTC)

RT: Bioshocked
I won’t spend this news post giving you an potentially spoilerish information about Bioshock 2, but I will say that today’s comic is, I feel, perfectly plausible.

Alessandro let us know that Halo Legends looks like it will actually appear in Europe dubbed in Italian, English, German and French – all in Dolby 5.1. (Apparently, Italy often gets standard Region 2 discs with an added dub/subtitle – but it looks like this time Warner’s going all out!) (Louis Wu 17:24:13 UTC)
