Reach to make a showing at X10
Yesterday, ElzarTheBam pointed out that Microsoft had announced X10, an industry expo for showing off upcoming titles and hardware. (The last one of these was X06, at which both Halo Wars and the Peter Jackson/Wingnut Halo project were announced.) There wasn't much info, so I let the news go - but today Joystiq is claiming that Halo: Reach WILL be present there. New footage? I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Halo Legends Posters for Auction in the UK
Last summer, there were a bunch of posters distributed at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, celebrating Halo Legends - we just got a note from ostemb0r that three of these are on sale on eBay from a UK seller (Toei's 'Odd One Out' | Bones' 'Prototype' | 4C's 'The Babysitter'). If you live in the UK, and you'd like one of these on your wall... now's your chance! (Louis Wu 19:58:55 UTC) (permalink)
Inspiration for the DMR?
Crackshot53 recognized a brand-new (in OUR world) gun called the 'Kel-Tec RFB' when he looked at the new DMR in Bungie's Reach assets. Screenshots are in his first post, and a video of the RFB firing can be found here. Seems like a pretty solid gun! Maybe Bungie liked it too? (Louis Wu 19:24:44 UTC) (permalink)

If you've been working on an emblem for Bungie's Reach Multiplayer Emblem contest (they mentioned it in last week's Update), you should probably read this - Dave Candland has some suggestions based on early submissions. (Louis Wu 19:06:50 UTC) (permalink)

Tuesday B.net movies (well, and Monday)
Movies posted in Bungie's Comm Chatter in the last couple of days:
- Brothers Final is a Halo 3 montage from Vidol and Shausty - nicely understated, as far as editing goes.
- Sir LIGHTSOUT225 created a seven and a half minute montage of Rocket Race clips, in honor of last week's Double XP list. Some really awesome clips!
- There's a montage called 'The URKtage' - it has nothing to do with Bungie.net's urk, except that it's a tribute to him, I guess... but the clips are fun.
- B1z3rker, of the H3AsiiM community, whipped up a 'Community Montage' as part of a new series of them - snipetacular.
- Greenskull's back with another Randomtage - bizarre clips from campaign and multiplayer. Just fun stuff. (Well, some stupid stuff. But mostly fun stuff.)
That's a bunch to watch! (Louis Wu 19:01:20 UTC) (permalink)
I'll take ridiculous polls for 500, Alex
In what might be the silliest poll I've seen in years, MSNBC wants to know what you think the 'sexiest game' is - and Halo 3: ODST is on the list. (uh... what?) At least it's in last place... If you need someone to blame, it was rolandk73 who noticed. (Louis Wu 16:04:08 UTC) (permalink)

It's-a me, Master Chief!
Hawty McBloggy found someone who put Mario's head on the Master Chief's body... then tattooed the result on his arm. Why choose between your two favorite characters?

Reach Info Falls
Bungie massively updated its Reach Project page last night - you'll need to do some serious exploring. We mentioned Screenshots yesterday - but new Concept Art is up, and the Personnel section has been populated (you can read these in a more linear fashion on the front page of Bungie.net, as well). Good stuff! Thanks to CaptainTony for noticing early. If this isn't enough info for you - swing by GameInformer's website; they've put up even MORE info about Carter-259 (thanks, CaneCutter).
