Counter Strike FY Map Pack --> in my file share

It looks like some degree of weapon physics are being introduced, very nice. Will squatting help improve accuracy?

Any chance there will be a helmet or armor ability which will change the location of the aiming reticle? Everything I have seen thus far shows the aiming reticle below center, like Halo 2/3/ODST. You talked about bringing back elements from Halo CE which helped make it the phenomenon that it was. I can say for certain that Halo CE has a very pleasing viewing perspective. It has a centered reticle and very wide fov (over 90 degrees fov in split screen, which was the common lan usage). Halo CE never had that sensation of tunnel vision. Please consider offering options to players who greatly dislike the below center aiming reticle position.

Quick question! Kinda important. Whenever your gamertag is changed, the stats for all the games shown on your B.net profile disappear until you play the game online again, then the stats for the game completely return. But with Halo 2 going offline, if you change your name, and we are no longer to play Halo 2 online again, will we still be able to get the Halo 2 veteran thingy?

Everything is possible, and nothing is what it seems

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Question about the contest.
Is it the total games played from all of Halo 2 including those couple months?
Also how do I check all the games played to date?

Powerhouse reminds me of Gravel Pit from TF2...

so Whats your opinion on pie

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Reach does look amazing I cant wait for it. But no more halo2? that sucks!!! It is too bad especially for me, it came out on my eleventh birthday... cant believe its already been six years since halo2, it seems like yesterday that I was playing it for the first time. I friggin grew up with halo now part of it wont be online anymore. Like a little piece of me just died.

Reach looks great, but with this new updated engine what can we expect of forge?

All that I am, all that will be of me, is the blood on my hands, the memories of my fallen enemies and my respected comrades.

So cool too bad I'm going on a week long fishing trip with my dad starting on his birthday which happens to be may 3rd.

Hopefully we get a Bungie Podcast at the end of this week.

Great update! I like the Sprinting in the Vidoc. Probably getting to far ahead but can you(Bungie) make the Campaign harder and longer? I ask because my friend bought halo 3 with me at the midnight release and I found out he had already beaten it by the next morning on legendary, with me not far behind him. I guess since you say you can shove more AI into a level that means u are going to, but just need to make sure. You understand. And will there be forge? And if there is forge, can you give us the ability to make switches for things like doors?Power house looks... pretty good, but one picture is the most you are willing to give us? And sry if u already answered some of this w/ or w/o the answers I want.
