The 405th’s LeeKegan built a Reach grenade launcher out of PVC and wood – really nice work! Thanks, padraig08.(Louis Wu 22:21:17 UTC)

I’m attending MLG Dallas right now and with fewer people than intended. Greg had to back out because of family issues and Brent moved back to North-West Texas. AceofSpadesCard from Cyberline films is here with me to help cover the event. He have two interviews lined up for this afternoon and we will 90% surely be doing a live show tonight on Ustream (reference earlier tweet). Some photo’s will be uploaded later today.

We also got to play some Killzone 3 Alpha stuff, which is making me more influenced to eventually buy a PS3. We also got to watch Dynasty beat Status Quo and just got back from watching Final Boss beat Carbon. More news to come.

You might remember we mentioned the Good Game Media Fall Gaming Auction, with proceeds to benefit Child’s Play and The Brian Wood Memorial – there are now a couple of Halo items available. Yesterday, the Halo Bundle 1 (containing a Halo 2 Limited Edition case, a McFarlane Halo Xbox 360 controler, and A McFarlane Dare action figure) went live – current bid is $20.50. And today, a poster created by Justin Yu, and signed by Bungie, was made available – current bid is $41. More coming every day! Take a look.(Louis Wu 18:32:40 UTC)

bs angel kindly summarizes the Halo goodies posted on Waypoint each week; we catch most of ’em as we go (thanks, Grim!), but there are some cool ones that get missed, so the summary is welcome. Stuff you should see, if you haven’t already:

• xSoGx Grim created Jun-A266… in Forge. The dude even shoots.
• NeeKo217 created the most adorable Elite plushy I’ve ever seen. I wanna hold him, and squeeze him, and… plant a fur-covered stickydoom on his noggin.
• Have you ever thought to yourself, “man, Carter’s helmet looks so good I wish I could eat it!”? No, me either. But if you did, you should hunt down Gemma and grab her Halo Reach Helmet Cake, because it almost certainly tastes better than a normal helmet.
• aVeryEasyTarget has been building some Reach panoramas – stunning! (There are also some tips for making your own, if you’d like to play along.)
• The latest ‘Different Way to Campaign” entry is called ‘Superior Firepower‘ – vociferous shows you how crazy it can get if you bring, say, a Gauss Hog to a foot battle.

There’s more – screenshots, some stuff that was time-sensitive and now past, etc – so be sure to explore.(Louis Wu 17:24:01 UTC)

chess and some friends were jonesin’ for the feel of the original Halo – so they’ve set up a group to attempt to get as close to that playing environment as possible in Reach. If you visit the site, you’ll find settings that will help you approximate original Halo weapons and damage, and there are lists of downloadable maps and gametypes that should generate some serious nostalgia. Check it out!(Louis Wu 15:56:19 UTC)

Another week, another slew of new game releases, but there’s still old games to earn Gamerscore in:

DavidMcC1989 going for the Blitz and Crossfire achievements in Monday Night Combat, concentrating on Blitz games first.
Saturday November 6th @ 8pm (GMT).
Contact him here on AH mentioning the Hunt.

If that’s not enough gaming goodness for you, this Friday will see the beginning of two weeks of achievements in Achievement Challenge 14.
If you want to host a future Weekend Hunt, post the details in this group thread to get some frontpage attention.

Nearly forgot – but Domino’s Grab Bag Giveaways, Round 13, finished up yesterday – 1150 folks tossed their names in the hat, and ShadowPuppiesJL was the lucky name drawn out! He should be seeing Halo Books 1-3 on Tuesday. Congrats – and thanks to Domino Theory, once again! Next round kicks off Monday, so feel free to try again!(Louis Wu 14:56:08 UTC)

It was Friday night last night, so there was a new Bungie Weekly Update posted – this one summarized the busting of the Rank Cap, and showed you some of the ranks you have in store for you as you climb. It also provided information about a new File Browser feature, and the new Bungie newsletter (launching soon). There’s another panoramic view of one of the new Noble Maps (Anchor 9, this time), as well as overhead views (with weapon spawn locations) for all three maps. To round it out, there’s a Blame Stosh that should make you grin. As always, if you have trouble, for whatever reason, reading this on Bungie.net, it’s available in our Weekly Update Archive, as well.(Louis Wu 14:50:00 UTC)

NeoGAF’s Presco and some friends were playing Sniperfight – and they got the Phantoms to build a Wraith tower on Beachhead. It’ll make you smile! (Watch both vids.)(Louis Wu 14:45:24 UTC)
