Recent Halo: Reach and Battlefield news

Bungie the huge tycoon of the gaming world, has created our favorites like the Halo series. Their ability to create well-balanced multiplayer games show in all of their matches. But now this glitch has appeared. A glitch so big that it could ruin all of Halo: Reach for everyone if it becomes widespread. The glitch appears when using the armor ability: Armor Lock.

I have not seen anyone use the glitch to their advantage yet, and I am hoping that no one uses it to their advantage. I am also praying for Bungie to put a cap on this as soon as possible so our fun on all of Xbox Live will not be ruined. Here is the glitch. Warning: It will make your very soul drop into the bowels of Hell! Not really. But seriously this thing will burn your eyes like bleach.

In other news I guess Bungie’s Halo: Reach is actually popular. According to Bungie’s weekly update 9/17/10 since launch…

31,000,000 Games have been played since launch

98,000,000 Player-games have been recorded

8,214,338 Daily Challenges have been completed

255,996 Weekly Challenges have been completed

78,499,560,895 Total Credits have been earned

953 Man-years have been spent in matchmade games

1365 Man-years have been spent in campaign

854,107 files have been uploaded

577,804 recommendations have been sent to friends

4,619,455 files have been downloaded

Thats pretty awesome! Now maybe they will fix the two huge issues on their plate. Like this one: A huge amount of people can’t play Halo: Reach because Microsoft didn’t test if all the Xbox 360’s were compatible with the game.

You can stay updated on everything going on with this problem.

Well that everything that mattered to me on this weekly update. Come back here next week!

Halo Reach Unlockables That You Can Earn Before Launch

Halo Reach is launching very soon and we all know that the multiplayer is going to be where the real excitement is. Much like everyone fought over earning the hayabusa armor as soon as possible there’s bound to be new levels of customization. Some of them we’ve experienced through beta or in game footage, others we’ll only get to see at launch. These next few are some you can start earning now, by playing through some olders Halo titles. The only catch is that these unlockables do require a few other details (such as reaching set career milestones, or other Halo Reach achievements in Halo Waypoint).

Miltary Police Set Requirements:

Career Milestone 15, Complete Halo Reach on normal earns base.
Career Milestone 20, Pink and Deadly(achievement), and base earns the tier one helmet add on.
Career milestone 25, Fear the Pink Mist(achievement), A Spoonful of
Blamite(Achievement) earns the tier two-helmet add on.

CQB Set Requirements:

Career Milestone 20, Complete Reach on Heroic will earn CQB base (obviously not possible early, but it does lead into the next part).
Career Milestone 25, Complete ODST on Heroic and base earns the tier one helmet add on.
Career milestone 30, Completing Halo 3 On legendary, Completing Reach on legendary earns tier two-helmet add on

The UK is done waiting?

As the days tick away for Halo: Reach I found out that the UK is getting Reach up to 3 days early! Thats right, UK retailers have delivered Halo Reach into the hands of gamers three days before the game’s official release date. With the street date broken, other entertainment retailers are now likely to also begin selling Reach early – in order to ensure they don’t miss out on pre-release revenues. Bungie has revealed that it will be resetting all in-game achievements on the official release date of September 14 (Tuesday) so those in the UK won’t be able to get ahead in their achievements. But if you go to Bungie.net you will find that about 8,000 people are playing already and there are files already uploaded for you to download made by other players.

A few more days until Reach Falls.

Halo: Reach falls in just 3 days for the people getting it on the 13th at Midnight. Halo Reach comes in three flavors—the $59.99 basic version, the $79.99 Limited Edition, and a “Legendary” edition, which includes 10-inch statues of Noble Team for $149.99. Sorry I’m not that rich and I will be getting the limited edition.

Unfortunately since Halo: Reach and Call of Duty Black Ops come out at around the same time, gamers will be forced to choose which game they will buy if they are not willing to shell out the money for both. Personally I am not sure if I will buy Black Ops. It just does not look that great. I am also concerned about the JTAG’s and the n00b toobing jerks in almost every lobby in Modern Crapfare 2. Due to unbalanced weapons, no updates to fix this, weapons not accurate to the era, overpriced map packs (bringing back the old maps), cheap killstreaks etc…). So i think Black Ops will be the same, I mean there’s an explosive crossbow, ballistic knife and incendiary ammo….How on earth can that go wrong. People will say things like “There is the new theatre mode!” Well unless your stupid Halo 3 had a theatre mode! Plus more balanced weapons, better connection, file share, custom games with infection and more fun things, forge world and just better players.

I hope that my ranting has made everyone feel better…-.- But I am just telling it like it is.

Pick up Halo: Reach at your nearest Gamestop

ODST Sells Millions of copies within 24 hours

Halo ODST Breaks 2 Million Sold in Under 24 Hours Posted on September 23, 2009 by impureking Surprise….surprise. A Halo title sells millions within a day’s release. But just to be fair and report the good word, Halo 3 ODST has sold over 2 million copies in its first day at retail. Although this is less then Halo 3 (which broke 3 million copies in a day) it is by no means anything to scoff at, as that is better then Gears 2 and Fable 2 performed at launch, which have both sold over 3 million copies since thier releases.

Happy Halo-ing!

**EDIT** Bungie has reported that over 950,000 players logged in on September 22nd to play ODST and logged in over 5,708,031 games played. That tallies to around 6 games per player. The Halo Nation is still strong and shows there’s plenty of life left in the franchise. And one more thing. Live Gold members can download a free Halo ODST theme from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
