Bungie overload!

In the midst of all the mind-boggling announcements at Microsoft’s E3 press conference today, there were 2 huge presentations for Halo nuts like myself.

First was the reveal of some actual gameplay footage from the upcoming Halo 3: ODST - plus a release date: September 22, 2009. That’s 113 days and counting for the slackers out there. The game looks fantastic, playing off of Halo 3’s strengths and not really messing with what ain’t broken, plus adding in some cool new visual enhancements to the standard HUD. Also, Firefly nerds will love hearing Nathan Fillion at the beginning and Adam Baldwin about halfway through, continuing their awesome tradition of being part of the Halo universe.

But wait, there’s more! Bungie and Microsoft then went about blowing our minds just a little bit more by unveiling Halo: Reach, an entirely new game for which we have absolutely no frickin’ information, other than the precious hopes of millions that it takes place during the events of the novel The Fall of Reach and that it includes Spartans (as evidenced by the “Sierra” call signs heard in the brief, gameplay-free trailer). Halo: Reach, as the trailer says, “Falls 2010.”

Everything can be viewed and downloaded at Bungie’s site. Enjoy.
