Perhaps feeling a little aggrieved at the way Modern Warfare 2 blew right on by Halo 3's sales numbers earlier in the week, Microsoft have tried to salvage a little pride by releasing some Halo 3: ODST numbers. And, all things considered, they're not bad. Since launching on September 22, ODST has sold just over three million units, having sold 1.5 of those in its first month on sale. Sure, that's nowhere near Halo 3 levels, but then, ODST had...

Halo: ODST, another great Halo game by Bungie, wastes no time in literally dropping you straight into combat, with six hours of comical and hard-hitting game play. Unlike the previous Halo games, you are no longer playing as the legendary Master Chief. Instead, you are a rookie Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, or ODST.

While our cats have been enjoying the comfort of Halo helmets for years now, the human market is sadly underserved. At least one human will be well protected, thanks to this Halo 3 ODST motorcycle helmet. MotorcyleNews.com has concept shots of the X-Lite X-802 helmet fashioned in the Halo 3 ODST style, set to be worn in real life by rider Jorge Lorenzo this weekend. No word on whether X-Lite will release something like for the motorcycle...  

The above shot was taken by a user in the Major League Gaming forums nicknamed, predictably, Tom Morello. I'm hoping that that's not his real name, as the NDA he most likely signed would prohibit the screen capture of gameplay from what appears to be "Halo: Reach," but his risk is our gain, as he [...]  

We aren’t far removed from the recent blockbuster release of Halo 3: ODST so it's surprising that we're already talking details about the next several Halo products. (What? You want to argue the blockbuster status of ODST? It moved more than two ...  

While Bungie has remained mum on Halo Reach, it seems that someone out there in cyberland has spilled the beans, as images and details have cropped up. It all started when MLG Forums poster ToM MoReLLo claimed to have played Halo Reach at Microsoft and offered blurry pictures and gameplay details as proof--a feat quickly noticed and made popular by NeoGAF posters Dani and Tashi0106. It appears that Reach will feature squad-based c...  

Not many people have earned all the achievements possible from Halo 3, Halo Wars and Halo 3: ODST, as evidenced by the statistics Microsoft dug up while developing Halo Waypoint.

Based on readers comments and e-mails I received, the biggest stumbling block for Halo fans is a top-tier achievement tucked away in Halo Wars, the non-Bungie developed real-time-strategy...

Halo fans are notoriously hardcore, but even in the Halo community, there are only a hardened few who are willing to  attempt the seemingly impossible: unlocking every achievement in each Halo game (that has achievements and includes map packs) so far. That includes Halo 3, Halo Wars and the recently released Halo 3: ODST. According to Halo Waypoint creative director Jason Pace, the number of people who've achieved that feat is less than 1...
