Halo: Reach may be the very last Halo game Bungie ever works on, and it looks like the famed developer is going all-out to make it the best game possible. Here's a rundown of what players can expect during next week's Halo: Reach Invasion Week.

Invasion Week Activities & Programs:

Connect to Xbox LIVE and receive a free "Halo: Reach" Invasion Week theme
Game with Developer: Bungie will play with fans on Thursday, 16^th from 5PM-7PM ET in the US, and Friday the 17^th8PM-10PM BST in the UK.
Play & Win: Play "Halo: Reach" any time during Invasion Week and you will be entered to win tickets to the upcoming UFC 122 Fight*
Community Events: Themed nights hosted by the community team to play "Halo: Reach," including "Co-op Night," "Xbox All Nighter" and "Community Playdate"

Additionally, players who purchase the game on launch day will receive an in-game Spartan recon helmet. The official Halo: Reach launch party will be located at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square, but plenty of other retailers will have midnight launch parties as well, albeit significantly less glamorous ones. Halo: Reach releases everywhere but Japan on September 14 (the Japanese will have to wait an extra day).

Sounds good!
by Andyshole Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 06:02 PM

This sounds awesome. One day i'll play it. But it does look to be the best halo yet, story wise. I really enjoy all the live action commericals i've been seeing.

I know I'm having a Halo party on Monday!
by Cody Gilley Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 06:06 PM

Good to see Bungie is still going to support Reach
by Joely Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 06:06 PM

Will there be zombies finally? Thats a deal breaker.

Halo Reach: nbd right?
by Brandon Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:13 PM

Good. Needed something to replace my aging Halo 3: ODST theme that they gave away a while back. I don't buy them. Free good Premium Themes FTW!
by Balroguy Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:17 PM

Getting it the day it comes out. Forge World is gonna be amazing!
by medved626 Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:32 PM

Gah this just makes me want it even sooner!
by Gregg Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:32 PM

Gaaaaaaaaaahhhh. I can't handle the anticipation anymore. This is KILLING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! ONLY 6 DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSS!
by Mildoze Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:40 PM

Woot, see you suckers on the end of my sights come launch day. BWAHHHAHHHHAHHHAHHH
by Blake Eaton Tuesday, September 07, 2010 at 07:52 PM

Even as a non-Halo fan, I think I'll be able to enjoy this game. Forge World seems amazing, and the standalone story will be perfect for me to jump in.

Hopefully, GI will put out a list of retailers that will be hosting Reach launch parties.

This just makes the wait that much more agonizing
