New Halo 3 ODST campaign level on GTTV this week.
GTTV's Geoff Keighley just tweeted that this week's episode of GTTV will show off a new level from the Halo 3 ODST campaign. He also hinted at Halo: Reach, but this is probably just a tease. Either way, Halo fans won't want to miss this week's episode, which airs on Thursday at 12:30 AM ET on Spike.

MW2 to Feature Dual-Wield Weapons
According to a recent message board post on MW2Scope:
"At a recent video game retailer event, Robert Bowling, community manager for Infinity Ward, was showing off a level in the single player campaign when he came across a dead body who was packing a desert eagle. No big deal, right? But instead of just getting a replacement sidearm, Bowling was able to pick up two Deagles at once and go all John Woo on their asses.
In his words:"I...happened to walk over a body that had Akimbo (dual wield side arm), therefore the icon for the weapon popped up on screen and the room went crazy with chants demanding I pick it up and use it." So I did. "Happened to be dual Deagles. Now to calm some initial fears of "OMG! Overpowered!".
Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like EVERYTHING in the game. It's limited to sidearms, harder to aim than standard and you can't go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand; Among other balancing techniques, so don't freak out before you see it in action." Obviously this will make people instantly think of dual wielding in "Halo," but like Bungie, Infinity Ward is pretty good at balancing their games. I'd be shocked if games devolved into wild west pistolero battles, given the limitations. I'll take an assault rifle over two sidearms any day of the week, thank you very much.

XBox Aims to Drop Price of Elite
In a response to the current sharp decline of video game sales and units sold across all platforms, Microsoft has decided to drop the price of the XBox Elite to $299. This price was originally reserved for the XBox Pro series, however current economic pressures have prompted the video game giant to take action in order to save profits.
According to GameInformer.com:"The Xbox 360 Pro, long considered the essential 360 package, is rumored to be phased out in coming weeks. It's successor? Bigger and badder brother the Elite. The Elite currently touts double the Pro's hard drive space (120 gb), an HDMI cable, and a sleek matte black finish. That's right, potential 360 buyers are going to be able to get the Elite for the same price consumers are paying now for the Pro" (2009).
