Some blurry images were apparently leaked for Halo Reach. Not much can be garnered from the shots, though we do see at least two new weapons. Graphically it looks like Halo...with a return to the familiar HUD with a radar. The game also apparently uses a perks system with three on display: sprint, cloaking and halogram.
And that's about it. This one is still a year away so there's a lot to be seen yet, including a beta for ODST owners sometime next year. There's no details as of yet on co-op play, but with the shadowy figures of four Spartans on the logo - you can bet your MJOLNIR there's gonna be some kickass co-op.

If you happen to be in the new Xbox 360 Dashboard Preview Program, you've already got access to Halo Waypoint. That's good news, right? Well I have better news for you. The Waypoint team just released the schedule, starting today, with all the content that's on tap.
The really good news? You'll be the first people to see the premiere episode of Halo Legends called "The Babysitter," which is on tap this Saturday. That's the only day you'll be able to see it for FREE, and only on Waypoint. If you didn't know, Halo Legends is a brand new anime series set in the Halo universe.
We think you should keep an eye out on next week's Waypoint schedule, because you just might see something that looks familiar.

Microsoft has just released a bunch of screenshots for Halo Waypoint, the NXE Channel that'll be your insider guide to everything Halo on the Xbox 360. One thing we've heard about Waypoint for some time was your Halo career, and now we seem to have a clearer picture of what that means.
You'll be given a separate set of achievements based on your accomplishments and you'll "level up" earning milestones. Some other interesting features in the channel are a "friends playing Halo games" counter, direct access to your screenshots. Check out the screens and tell us what you think - Halo Waypoint launches on November 5th. It's Xbox Live Gold exclusive content, though Silver members will have access until November 26th.

Halo 3: ODST has sold over 2.5 million copies in its two weeks on store shelves, no doubt fueled by the Halo name and the friendly co-op modes the game supports.
Included with the game is access to the Halo Reach beta, a multiplayer beta that kicks off sometime next year. But what exactly IS Halo Reach? 343 Industries and ex-Bungie man Frank O'Connor explains.

Oh, gaaaawd! No more Halo! Yeah, yeah...we know. Trust me: we know. Take a pill.
Beyond this intro is a very small collection of screenshots taken from my recent experiences in Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode. We're Co-Optimus...we like to share.

A new iteration of one of the top co-op franchises on any system was released this week. We're talking, of course, of Halo 3 ODST. The game that started it all was Halo: Combat Evolved for the original Xbox. Previous-gen consoles are fair game for this column, so let's take a look at the game that spawned what many consider to be the defining FPS series.

Who needs Romeo when you can have Fitty?
Here's an interesting bit of news for co-op fans. Killzone 2 is the premiere FPS for the PS3. It's gorgeous visually, but has one glaring weakness: no co-op whatsoever. As we've covered before, the game really suffers as a result. Even without our favorite feature, Killzone 2 has sold well by almost any measure, with 1.9 million copies moved since the game's release in late February.
Call it in first, then retreat!
Wired provided a public notice yesterday warning players to manually save their Halo 3: ODST campaign before hopping over to the Firefight mode. Apparently, the game's autosave doesn't really care that you don't want to leave your friends waiting on you.
Please do remember pause the game and save before accepting invites to other games or game modes. If your friends are impatient, you can jump into their Live Party and chat with them while you are saving your campaign progress. We're gung-ho for Firefight, too, but we have a city to save, dagnabbit.

When Ensemble Studios, creators of Halo Wars, was closed a few projects went with it. Surprisingly one of those projects was another Halo title, though not much is known about it. These painting were from artist Dylan Cole and are listed as concept artwork for a cancelled title in the Halo Universe.
We do know Ensemble was working on a Halo MMO at one point, so most likely this beautiful cityscape was related to that. Still said to know the above shot will never get the full game treatment it deserves.

Bungie hosted a panel at PAX called -- what else? -- "Prepare to Drop", featuring some new Halo 3: ODST information and behind-the-scenes media. Bungie writer/author Joseph Staten stole the show, moderating and also providing the bulk of the information presented to an estimated 300 people in attendance.
