Ok, Well I thought I'd just update the ever stale journal. For once I actually have news that just might mean something to others. For all the HALO fans out there expect two new games that are in development.

Halo 3: ODST-Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, Halo 3: ODST is a new game in the Halo saga that lets people experience events leading up to the epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and the motivations behind the Covenant's invasion of New Mombasa. The release adds a new dimension to an all-encompassing universe that fans around the world have known and loved for close to eight years.

Halo 3: ODST also introduces Firefight, a new cooperative multiplayer mode where up to four players can assume the role of an ODST squad and fight together to take on increasingly challenging waves of enemies. Also included are three new Halo 3 multiplayer maps on a 2nd standalone disc, which includes all original Halo 3 maps, as well as the "Legendary," "Heroic," and "Mythic" Map packs for a total of 24 maps.

ODST is available for pre-order in both a standard package and a Halo 3: ODST Collector’s Pack, which includes the game and a new and exclusive Wireless Controller. Additionally, if you pre-order Halo 3: ODST at participating retailers worldwide, you will receive a token to unlock Sgt. Johnson as a playable character in Firefight.


Halo: Reach-At E3 in Los Angeles, Microsoft announced Halo: Reach, the blockbuster prequel to the Halo trilogy that will let fans experience the now legendary events that transpired on the planet Reach. Reach is being created by acclaimed developer Bungie and will release in the fall of 2010 exclusively on Xbox 360.

No doubt you’re already chomping at the bit to get your first taste of Halo 3: ODST, but be sure to remember to hold on to your copy of ODST. As a bonus for Halo fans, Halo 3: ODST will be the key to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE. More information about the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will be available at a later date.

If your anticipation is getting the better of you, you can find out more about what happened on the UNSC’s military stronghold, Reach, by picking up the Halo novels Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike, both written by Eric Nylund.

I've Read most of the Halo novels and I highly recomend them.

I got most of this Info At the Halo site, [link].

As always, Keep your stick on the Ice.
