In a recent news update from Bungie regarding Halo: Reach and all things awesome, Bungie let slip what appears to be a shot of some additions coming to Reach soon.
The shot in question, from a section on how to install Reach to your 360's hard drive, shows the game as having 1250 total gamerscore, and 59 achievements. At present, Reach only has 1000 total GS and 49 possible achievements.
While nothing was specifically mentioned about this change, it is entirely possible that this is either an indication of a free title update coming soon, or DLC in the near future.
While the recent news update continues on to share some awesome details on how the game's melee system works, changes made to the many playlists, a daily credit cap, cheaters, and more, it also shares with us some rather interesting stats. Enjoy!

- On Tuesday, 09/14/2010 at approximately 1:30 pm PST, just a few hours after launch, Halo: Reach's online unique user count had already completely eclipsed Halo 3's total tally for the entirety of the week (09/13 through 09/20).
- To account for the same number of online players found in Halo: Reach during that same window (just six days), we had to run the numbers for Halo 3 going all the way back to 8/6/2010, encompassing a full 45 days of Halo 3 play!
- Ultimately, Halo: Reach's online population for the first week dwarfed Halo 3's by comparison, snagging four times the number of total unique users and decimating Halo 3's all time high of concurrent users by more than 65%.
And, of course, the requisite numerical absurdities:
- 70 Million+ Games have been played
- 235 Million+ Player-Games have been played
- 2 Million+ Files have been uploaded to File Shares
- 5,901 man-years have been spent in online Reach games (sorry, Corporate America!)
- 20 Million Daily challenges have been completed
- 709,840 Weekly challenges have been completed
- 165 Billion Credits have been earned
