Firefight Trailer
TDSpiral found a Firefight trailer at GameVideos – it’s recorded off the screen… but it’ll still get your blood pumping. I’m guessing we’ll see a high-res version of this one in the not-too-distant future… like maybe today. Update: this will be released on B.net at 6 am PDT (that’s about 15 minutes from this update!).(Louis Wu 12:00:46 UTC)

Firefight, In-Depth
For folks who want their info more succinct, IGN has put up a text summary of the Firefight facts they learned last night (thanks, oddworld) – go see how this mode has evolved since its inception in ODST! All of the awesomeness, none of the disappointments… Firefight is gonna keep folks playing Reach a LONG time. There’s a ton of additional video on the Reach Video page – not really high-quality, but you get a feel for Firefight gameplay… and more.)(Louis Wu 11:54:26 UTC)

G4TV Floor Demo/Jarrard Interview
G4TV also had a session with a Bungie employee – Brian Jarrard laid down some sweet facts along with the demo footage. Definitely worth watching – and discussing. There’s a big thread here (thanks, GrimBrother One), Minime637 found an archived streaming version online, and we put up a cropped Reach-only chunk if you’d rather skip all the OTHER game footage. Firefight’s back, baby…(Louis Wu 11:47:45 UTC)

Bungie’s New IP Platform Info
Although Bungie has said that they’re focused on Reach for E3 this year, it sounds like Activision has no qualms about mentioning upcoming content from the studio – Computer and Video Games is reporting that Bungie’s next project will be released for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Interesting tidbit! Thanks, The BS Police.(Louis Wu 17:20:05 UTC)

Reach Snippet from Controller Montage
For Halo fans who don’t want to download the entire 170mb Controller Montage off Xbox LIVE Marketplace, we’ve uploaded just the Reach bit at the end (it’s just 10 seconds long): WMP9 format (6.8 mb) | QT format (7.2 mb). Contains equal parts of campaign and multiplay – but there are definitely some worthwhile moments to peruse on pause! Enjoy! (Louis Wu 14:46:02 UTC)

Reach Footage in Controller Montage
If you live in Great Britain (or possibly all of Europe), you have access to a video called ‘Controller Montage Trailer‘ on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. According to 2900d4u,[It] shows a few seconds of reach footage at the end of the video. Grunts dropping out of a phantom, a brute chieftain and a new futuristic city level can be seen.
No access to this for those of us in the US, unfortunately. Updated: I’m wrong, there’s a US version. Thanks, Dani!(Louis Wu 14:23:11 UTC)
