» Bungie Weekly Update – More Reach Information

This weeks Bungie update contains little tidbits about Halo Reach – more importantly, more information about the Alpha status that was posted on the Noble Actual forum just recently.

“We’re actually in the Release Candidate phase, which essentially means that the team has already put an astounding amount of absurdly hard work into crafting a representative slice of Halo: Reach’s multiplayer that will ultimately serve as the foundation for the tasty pie that is the public beta.”

There’s also some cool information about the Halo Reach Pistol –

“While it’s not quite the double damage, TSK (three shot kill) machine from the Evolved (Halo: Combat Evolved) era Sage spoke out about in our most recent podcast, the Reach Magnum was far and away my favorite weapon in the latest takehome build. At one point, I must have said, “My God, the pistol is soooooo good!” just a little too loudly, because Luke piped up to admonish me for calling attention to it.”
