Halo: Reach VGA Trailer
Here it is!
ODST’s Returning in Reach?
During a recent interview with G4TV, Joseph Staten dropped this little hint about the future of the ODST’s: “I can’t comment on any future plans for our ODSTs, but it would be a shame if we made a game about the planet Reach — a place where Buck, the ODST’s squad leader, was known to be — and not have him appear in some way shape or form.” Could Buck and crew return in Halo: Reach? Time will only tell… [CVG]

Bungie Weekly Update(10/24/09)
This week’s Bungie Weekly Update briefly talks about Halo: Reach. While not a whole lot of information was given, we might as well inform you anyways: They’ve also asked the entire studio to play through the latest build. Full update can be found here.
EGM Preview in December, Possible Concept Art?
Someone over at the Bungie.net forums posted what appears to be concept art for Halo: Reach, or so he claims. While we can’t confirm the authenticity of them, they’re interesting nonetheless. Also, the original post has been edited by Bungie and no longer contains the links to said pictures. Also, keep an eye out for the return of EGM in December. It’ll include a preview of Halo: Reach.
Halo+Forza 3
If you haven’t read the latest Bungie Weekly Update, I’d recommend doing so. Even if they don’t give out a ton of new information, they’re still fun to read. The latest update has a few pictures of fan-made Halo cars in Forza 3. There’s an ODST themed car, as well as a Halo: Reach car.
Reach Confirmed As Prequel.
Even though it was already fairly safe to assume that Halo: Reach would be a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, it was never actually confirmed until now. Frank O’Connor was recently interviewed by USA Today, and revealed that it is indeed a prequel to Halo 1: “It’s a prequel to Halo 1,” says Frank O’Connor, creative director for 343 Industries, a division of Microsoft that handles all things Halo. A first-person shooter with an additional multiplayer mode, Halo: Reach “is a chronological prequel but it is not a prequel in the directions the Star Wars prequels were to the (original) movies,” says O’Connor, a co-writer on 2007’s Halo 3. says. “It will cover events in and around the planet Reach,” where the invading Covenant first attacked humankind in the Halo story line. He also briefly talks about the Halo movie, and that they’re waiting for the right time and partner(perhaps it isn’t dead afterall?). You can read the entire interview here.
