Subject: Question about the last Halo 2 play on the 14th

So after reading the most recent update here. I had a question about this statement:

As thanks for throwing down, we're committed to granting everyone who plays with us on the 14th a piece of visual flair for use in Halo: Reach multiplayer as a symbol of our gratitude.
My question is, to get the "visual flair" for Halo: Reach, do you have to actually play with Bungie staff or can you just play an online match at any point on the 14th?

As far as we know you just have to play a game of matchmaking on the 14th, Some people say that you will get some other kind of reward if you play someone from bungie or meet some other requirement, but to get the 'visual flare' just jump into a match making game tomorrow!

Where can i get a copy of halo 2? is there a download?

i think you have to play WITH bungie, kinda like the Bungie vs World playlist last year. But i think they are also giving prizes to people who get stuff like, "the most sticks" "most snipes" "most kills" "most assists" etc.

You just have to play. It doesn't matter if you play with someone from Bungie or not, you still get the visual flair.

I went to a local gamestore today and picked up a used copy because mine was scratched. That would be your best bet as apparently gamestop doesn't carry original xbox games anymore.

All of that most likely hinges on how many participants there are on the final day, though prioritizing on something as trivial as a digital reward and concerning about the statistical popularity of such doesn't seem like the potentially best route to go about the final experience. Nonetheless, I imagine there will be a carnage report markup on this website, predictably with number crunching and who was honored with what just in case you want to soak your eyes into some comparisons of how rare the breed of players may be.

Instinctively, yes, but we'll have to wait for the official word from the team to see how all of that technical stuff is going to play out.
