Five brave souls ventured into the Halo 3 universe to help Bungie collect money for the Red Cross. Now, of course we wanted a good place to take some screenshots of our awesome team (Called Attackstyrka Z btw) and we (read I) chose a nice place on Sandtrap. It wasn’t withouttrouble we got up there. It all started with Deadwoods Epic fail out of the Banshee:

After that, there were many similar tries with people falling out in the wrong place. Then Tjacke came along and landed the banshee me, pushing me off the edge:

When I was about to flip the banshee and go up for an awesome group pic, Deadwood thought it would be a good idea to practice his grenade tossing skills:

..But as you can see that didn’t end well for him. A while later everyone finally got up there. From left to right – Talinth | Axegurra | Deadwood | Frantic swede | Tjacke :

Then all of a sudden shit started to explode:

…and Axegurra was like, wtf is going on? and Talinth was like wtf I dunno?

And of course, we wouldn’t be heroes without the emble. Here’s Deadwood showing of his falling down skills and his emblem at the same time:

All in all it was a successful event for us and we won a bunch of games, pising off some very young americans. Each of us gathered 0,1$ if my math is correct which it probably isn’t. “yay”?

It’s been a long ride, for the last 10 years Bungie have done nothing but Halo titles, And with Halo: Reach it marks the end of the franchise for Bungie. This doesn’t mean we won’t get to see what happens to Master Chief, Frank O’Conner’s 343 Industries will probably take care of that. Bungie are already working on their new IP. Who knows? We might get to see what that is at E3 2010.

Not much is know about the upcoming Halo: Reach title. All we know is that it will take place on planet Reach, The first planet the Covenant attacked, ( I highly recommend the book The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund ). Since we don’t know anything else we can only speculate. A while back Microsoft was looking for people who can handle huge servers to come and work for em. Could the servers be for a mmo? A mmo set in the Halo Universe would sell shit loads, Hell, If Bungie took a a pile of shit, turned it into brownies and slam the Halo logo on it and call em “Halo Munches” people would buy and eat em, Even knowing what the main ingredient was. That’s the power of a strong IP. But enough derailing, I highly doubt Halo: Reach will be “just another Halo FPS”, Since the beta of Halo: Reach multiplayer comes along with Halo: ODST, it would be rather fucked up to have a FPS beta in a FPS game so to speak. Or could Halo: Reach be the follow-up to Halo Wars?
But i put my money on that this will be MMO of some sort that will try and counter Sony’s MAG. But all we can do now is wait….

We reported a few days ago that a game called Halo: Reach was hinted / leaked on the net.The game have now been officially been announced alongside with the reveal trailer. It doesn’t show much, But like we had thought the game takes place on the planet Reach, where Master Chief and his fellow spartans trained to become the super bad ass soldiers they are. Unknown if the plot will follow the story in the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund.

Or could Halo: Reach be the MMO we been waiting for?

I was amazed that Microsoft didn’t suffer from a leak leading up to E3, Could this be the E3 they would show something no one had any idea about? Microsoft came close this year, But they have now been the victim of a leak, and it could very well be the biggest thing they could announce, A new Halo game. The leak that seems rather real speaks of the game Halo: Reach.
If it’s real or not we will get our answer tomorrow when E3 start. So let’s speculate what the game can be about.
