Since i have no life, i followed JD_2020′s list of people at this reveal.
And i found out alot.
First ill try to tell you everything i can, then ill post twitpic links.

There are tons of new killstreaks (i dont know much, but there are pics of some)
And there are also special killstreaks, which you can only get through care packages, and you get them rarely.
Theatre mode is pretty much like halo’s, but it’s still pretty cool.
New Modes-
Gun Game- Everyone starts out with the same gun, and get new ones as they get kills in the map.
One in the Chamber- You start out with a pistol and one bullet. If you kill someone you get their bullet.
If you don’t, you have to knife them.
Wager- Wager your Currency (will be explained later in this post) to get more, or lose it. (vegas anyone)
Sharpshooter- Gives people randomly generated weapons
Sticks and Stones- Tomahawks, Crossbows, Ballistic Knifes only.

Next comes Create a Class 2.0
Basically what you choose as your perks, define your look in the game.
Another cool Feature is Combat Training, which is MP but you can play AI opponents, and you and your friends can play against AI.
There are customizable Red Dots (Doesn’t have to be Red or a Dot)
You can also customize your emblem.
I didn’t go too indepth of what i heard, but here are some pics to make up for it.

So this meaning now instead of having connect to a lobby directly with your friends to play, you can join random players or friends ingame already and play out the campaign.

Also in news Reach wise, is the flare that we talked about a while back. And that news is that here it is:

• 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 – Ditto.
• 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

Not pictured is the “Bungie Staff” emblem that is ofcorse only available to Bungie staff. So thats all of the flare bits so far, if they update it anymore ill update this.

Well for the last two nights i’ve stayed up and watched spike for hours, both nights expecting to see info on Valves newest game, Portal 2 and updates and info on Valves Left 4 Dead series. I missed it., watching for nearly 5 hours tonight it never came on for me, but thats ok!

I went to the GT site and saw it as soon as they uploaded it, and its great news.

First off the new DLC for Left 4 Dead is you may have guessed from the title called The Sacrifice, its based on the story of how exactly Bill died as we saw in The Passing, in such the group from L4D1 will be played, and one survivor will have to sacrifice himself for the team to win.

Some of the special things about this is that the original survivors will encounter things like Chargers and the other new infected for the first time. they also will be including the much loved No Mercy level from L4D1 in the DLC aswell. One of the biggest suprises for me is that this DLC will be for L4D and L4D2.

Other great news is that the Mac version of L4D2 will be out for this DLC, and in hopes all of this will be out soon! However they did not say a date in the actual interview they only said they want the upcoming 4 part comic series to be out first. (150 page comic book series)

As far as portal news goes i didn’t really notice anything i hadn’t heard already except that it may support crossplatform co-op gameplay for PC/Mac and PS3 however that wasn’t a promise, they just hinted that its something they want to do.

As of now? I expect it will be a while before we get our hands on The Sacrifice but with this update comes hope that it won’t be long, ill update this post if i can find out anything about when it will be released.

Or it could just be some random chatter to fill the style of marines talking, but none the less its worth considering. Check it out for yourself and give your opinion on what it might mean.

Also Bungie released a video describing each member of Noble Team, in some detail, at least the rolls/style they play in the team a nice vibe to the narration, however its almost to common a style.

So please post your thoughts on what these videos mean to you.

Check back for more updates on Halo Reach!

Valve, the developers of Left 4 Dead 2, have announced some interesting things in store for their popular title Left 4 Dead 2 on the official Left 4 Dead blog. Among them is community campaigns, which means that Valve will be running selected campaigns on 120 of their official servers. First up in the community campaigns list is 2 Evil Eyes, which is a campaign made by don set in a foresty type environment. It supports co-op and versus, and will be available for play both on the official servers and MPC’s own Left 4 Dead 2 server starting now. You can download the campaign from MPCGamers’s server page here for fast download speeds. Don’t forget that we also have many more custom campaigns all installed on our server, which you can join by joining our Steam group. All our customs installed can be found here.

Next up is an announcement by Valve that they will be releasing more info on things like DLC plans, upcoming events, and the Mac version on August 20th at 12:30 AM Eastern on Gametrailers TV on Spike. We’re eagerly anticipating this information’s release and hope that it brings good news to our many Mac players! Be sure to catch it on Spike if you’re interested.

Yesterday, Irrational Games announced their latest installment to the Bioshock series:

Bioshock Infinite.

Bioshock Infinite takes the series, known for its underwater gameplay, into a city in the clouds, and it takes place in the 1910′s.

Bioshock Infinite is still in production, and will be launched in 2012, for consoles unknown.

Worthplaying.com has discovered an odd bug in both Modern Warfare 2 and its demo which allows access to 5 free SNK games.

The Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 (which pretty much everyone owns) allows access to 5 SNK-produced games.

With Modern Warfare 2 you have temporary access to the following games:

Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug XX and Samurai Showdown II.
King of Fighters ’98 and Metal Slug are the more notable release of those 5 games. The glitch allows you to have access to full versions of these games by accessing their trials in XBLA. Modern Warfare 2 causes the SNK games to behave as the full release, rather than the trial release that was originally intended.

What is interesting is the little connection between Activision and SNK, and the very likely chance that you will own a copy of Modern Warfare 2. Expect this to be patched very soon by Microsoft so be sure to enjoy your KoF action now while it’s free!

Now that I have your attention, let’s talk. It’s Sunday afternoon with nothing much to do… How about I start a discussion!

What’s your favorite video game character? Pleeasse…. tell me! Wait, I know what can make it better! How about you give a hint about it and we can all guess! Yes, yes this will be fun! DDD

I’ll give you an easy hint about mine, she’s a Ninja who will break your neck.

Either solve the hint or post about yours right here in the comment section of the blog.

Well, if you were one of the many players taken by surprise with Torchlight’s success, or even if you never tried out the game. Be ready for Torchlight II to likely do the same next year.

We liked the first Torchlight alot, so we think we’ll love this one!

Coming in Spring of 2011 Torchlight II will feature many of the things that drew me away from Torchlight for lacking, like Co-op support, a new class type, and a improved modding toolset TorchED.

I for one expect to buy this game once it comes out, and with all hopes it will be released for Mac and PC side by side this time!

For a full list of new features and info on Torchlight II check this page: http://torchlight2game.com/

We’ll update with more news on the game as it comes so check back!
