Well, this is a bit of a shocker, but Bungie has just announced a 10-year publishing agreement with Activision for their next IP. This raises a few questions since Activision publishes for multiple consoles. In the agreement, Bungie will retain the ownership of its new IP and will remain an independent company. Also, what does Microsoft have to say about this? For more info, check out Joystiq’s post here. Thanks to PK for posting this in the forums.
The Microsoft marketing gods have graced us with yet another trailer for the forthcoming release of Halo: Reach. This time however, it’s in sweet, sweet CGI and live-action goodness for you to enjoy. Before you press on to see the video please take note that the video follows Noble Team leader, the Spartan-III, Carter.
Shownotes
For some reason, all the guests we have on magically makes the podcast a half-a-day endeavor. We sat down with Burnie Burns from Rooster Teeth Productions for four and a half hours resulting in more than three hours of quality podcast material. We managed to cut it down to an hour and forty minutes. The podcast has been edited to the topic of this episode, which was Red vs Blue information since they have started their final season. If you want to hear the full podcast (with no editing), you can download it from here: Full Version. Podtacular would like to give a big thanks to Burnie from Rooster Teeth for taking time out of his day to sit down with us. Hope lunch was good. Enjoy.

Now since the Halo 2 farewell project is done, I had time to get his little gem from last week edited and put out. It was actually uploaded yesterday, but I forgot to make the post (failboat!). On this episode, we discuss the information released about the multiplayer maps for reach on IGN and Bungie.net. We wend into each of the maps: Overlook, Powerhouse and Sword Base. We still don’t know anything about Bone Yard and the accompanying gametype, Invasion. Special guest bs Angel from Hawty McBloggy came on the show and talked about her interests in Halo and its community, and what she does on her site. We also had community member Nobudy visit as well. We’ll see you at the Beaver Zone. Enjoy

As Halo 2 on XBOX Live comes to a close, the Podtacular staff takes time to remember what made Halo 2 so fun. Halo 2 was the building block for Podtacular and holds many fond memories for some of our closest community members. So for those who were around waaay back in the day, take up your battle rifle as we salute Halo 2.
If you have played Halo 2 recently, you probably noticed the new items in the “Did you Know?” box while you’re waiting for matchmaking to find players. So here starts the compilation of all those funny quotes we are used to seeing from Bungie.
