Project Guardianz
I am currently compiling short clips together to create a new halo-based video. Similar to my old Halo 3 Team 42 clan video, it will basically be numerous of random clips thrown together with some music and some comedic effect at the start.
Order of business
I've already roughly planned out what I'm gonna be doing in Halo Reach. Post a comment with your list too!
- Solo campaign: normal
- Matchaking: Firefight / Score attack
- Forge: Forge world (maybe)
- Matchmaking: Invasion / Team slayer / BTB -or- Co-op campaign: normal / heroic
- Matchmaking: random -or- Forge: Forge world
Spartans on the ground, sir...
Check Bungie.net for playlists for Halo Reach... Yes, people are playing Halo Reach, at least 2000 players.
EDIT: Scratch that, at least 7500 players :(

Prepared for Reach?
Bungie sure is...
Not only has the Bungie.net top banner changed for Reach, there's also new stuff added to the ordnance and enemies sections.
Take a look at the ordnance and enemies pages.

Bungie update part 2 -- Outpost and The cage
Outpost - Sniper custom firefight
The Cage - The return of Halo 2 assault
Bungie update part 1 -- Visual flair
In order:
- The Septagon – This option returns for anyone who links their LIVE account to their Bungie.net account.
- The DMR – A pro weapon for Pro members. Get Bungie Pro to bump up your File Share, render videos, and get this emblem. Active subscriptions bought in Halo 3 or Halo 3: ODST carry over to Halo: Reach, of course.
- Marathon – Play the full version of Marathon: Durandal on Xbox LIVE Arcade to enable the Pfhor Terminal emblem.
- Halo 1 – Enter your Halo 1 PC/Mac product key to enable this emblem. Each key can only be used once, so you’d better stop reading this and grab that key before your brother does. Since we have no way to validate who has played the Xbox version, this emblem is reserved for that dedicated community of computer gamers, with over 50k unique users still active each month, 7 years after release. Thanks for sticking with us. It’s been quite a ride!
- Halo 2 – Automatically available if you played Halo 2 for Xbox on your LIVE account before its tearful retirement. If it’s not active for you, no amount of wheedling will change that, sorry.
- Halo 3 – Take a guess… On the plus side, there’s plenty of time to head to your local purveyor of fine, shrink-wrapped games to snag a copy if you’re the one person who actually reads the news on our site and hasn’t played this game.
- Halo 3: ODST – ...obvious
- Assault Rifle – This fine armament goes to anyone who played the Halo: Reach beta a few months ago.
- Spartan Helmet – CLASSIFIED
- HALO – Like Blamite out of a Needler, these faceplate options can supercombine. Unlock the emblems for Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3 to get this special emblem.
- The Star – Who knows? We haven’t come up with a use for this yet. Maybe we will in the future.
But wait theres more!
Boardwalk, Countdown and Glacier video
I assume this is leaked gameplay, but ah well :D I just happened to stumble upon it and now I'm posting it here.
Boardwalk and Countdown are multiplayer maps while Glacier is a firefight map. From the appearance, Countdown is more likely the Sabre launch facility while Boardwalk is the more civilian styled map.
IMO Glacier looks amazing!
Campaign matchmaking

Nice, theres new forge gameplay in it too :D

Corvette gameplay HD
A 5 minute game of Firefight on Corvette. Oh and hunters just rape uncooperative players.
Corvette gameplay part 2
Firefight btw, low quality!
Corvette gameplay part 1
Corvette gameplay part 2
It seems like the hunters AI for defending themselves is improved. Unfortunately they aren't as tough as I want them to be :(
The elites and brutes don't seem to be that threatening, unless that was easy difficulty (probably, just to get used to it, idk)

Low quality and short. But confirms Engineers in Firefight, they seem weaker to me than in ODST.

Corvette, Firefight map

| Boom! |
Rocket launchers seem to be the best choice for this map due to the large open centre where covenant drop from spirits (and maybe phantoms too).

| Brutes! |

| Drop zone! |

| Cold shadow |

Zealot, Reflection and Spire
Friday's weekly update (not for me though, it just turned Saturday over here)The picture on the right is Zealot, Bungie confirms my expectations and confirm Zealot is not a Midship/Heretic remake.
From videos and images I've seen it's larger and slightly more open spaced than Midship, it also looks asymmetrical unlike Midship.The centre resembles an open version of Assembly's camo spawn with a small drop-down to the floor.
Zealot also has a third level outside the map where players can roam in the open space above the ceiling's shield doors.
Complete with low gravity jumps making it an easy way for players with jet packs travel from one base to the other.
Bungie have confirmed that only slight changes were made between Ivory tower and Reflection. Such as the sniper's perch now has more space above them as the ceiling has been raised to support the jet pack armour ability. Read the update for more!
However invasion on this map is inverted, as Spartans are forced to attack the Elites and steal their data core.
There's also info on the Rocket warthog and the Revenant vehicles. Read the BWU link at the top of this post. It's been a long day and I'm too tired to write up about the revenant too, it's all in the BWU anyway.
P.S. Halo Reach has gone GOLD!
Asylum - Forge world variant
Asylum trailer (Gametrailers.com)
It seems that Asylum is a Bungie-forged map variant of Forge world, which looks to be a remake of Halo 2's Sanctuary. There's also a small Overlook firefight clip thrown in for no reason... enjoy!
Meh, the quality ain't too bad...
Also on Gametrailers.com, this link is to a recorded video at Comic-con. It's gameplay from the Firefight map Beachhead playing co-op firefight with scenes of the Flak cannon (previously known as the Fuel rod gun) and some DMR-to-face action... namely on grunts.
More info coming up soon, it's currently on the brink of BWU (Bungie weekly update) and I'll post the necessary interesting information here :P
NOTE: Someone post a comment saying what the song in the second link is called :)

SDCC Interview -- Forge world
SDCC Interview -- Forge world
Brian Jerrard and Chad Armstrong talk to Gamespot at Comic-con about Forge world. New info such as map scale, forge capability and the ability to pick up armour abilities.
The video also previews the Falcon in flight, the Revenant and credits earned via forge.
Welcome
This includes multiplayer and firefight maps, campaign missions, forged maps, weapon reviews, armour abilities, vehicle reviews, screenshots, videos, montages, fly-throughs, machinima, etc.
I will continue to update the blog before the release of Halo Reach but to a small fraction of the rate that I will be updating post-release.
My gamertag is TMek7
I will gladly play Invasion, Firefight, Co-op campaign. Hopefully big team too :D
