Pre-ordered the Legendary edition. Evidently, the release date is 9/1/10? Maybe it's an Amazon glitch (I hope not)

It's just a placeholder date until the official date is announced.

Yes, the Legendary edition has everything from the Limited edition, including the Elite armor and Halsey stuff.

  • 04.25.2010 4:19 PM PDT

I'm most likely going to buy the limited edition, but I may go with the legendary edition in the near future. Who knows? : /

  • 04.25.2010 6:02 PM PDT

Get Legendary! More stuff. Hey I bought it, and I don't have a job, so it isn't crippling.

Although my gamertag may be Blu Soldier, I am not in the military, I just thought the name sounded cool at the time.

Already preordered Legendary Edition of Halo: Reach. SOO Excited!!!!
That statuee looks frickin awesome, and so do the flaming helmet, elite armor, and goodiebag! I am 15, the perfect age for a statue, just a little to old for toys, but not to old to be a nerd! Hooray!

But in a calm manner, and to not act immature, I think it was tottally worth the money.

P.S. I actually am buying this with my own money, not my parents.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Wait a minute, no "The Making of" disc?

  • 04.26.2010 6:07 PM PDT

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

Im sorry if it was already posted.

How will the different versions with the special armor add-on be done?

Is it a code like the SGT. Johnson or will it be an internal game code for that disc?

Im asking cause if it is a code like what Johnson was then how can you guarantee it will not be bot jacked like a few of my friends had when they got odst?

  • 04.27.2010 1:33 AM PDT

Death is always behind you, all you can do is try to out run it. It never tires, so it will always be the outcome. The only question is how long you can run for? And thats why spartans can't die, they can run forever. That and the fact they can respawn =D

pre-ordered legendary...for collection - which means i hav to lug it on to a bus in order to get it home. It will be worth it though

Stupid. I hate this bull-blam!- and the idiots that pay for it.

This reminds of Gears of War 2, where pre-ordered copies included a code for a gold gun.

It's absolutely shameful that Bungie would follow this course. Whether or not one has the money to spend on a different edition of the game should not give him some presumed in-game special trait.

If I hear two months from now that Bungie already included the first round of DLC on the Reach disc, I'll snap the disc in two, as I was all too happy to do with my Modern Warfare 2 disc upon hearing the same information.

Have fun with this one, fanboys.


I'll partially agree. The extra elite/spartan armor things are kind of cool BUT they should be bonuses for pre-ordering. You know, like Sergeant Johnson was for ODST.

Tangible goods are what I expect from special editions of games, not digital stuff which may very well be unlocked further down the road for everybody. Remember the Fable 2 Limited Edition? Some cases apparently didn't come with the LE codes, so the "special" items were pretty much unlocked for everybody.

As for the prices of the Halo Reach editions, $80 for the limited edition is acceptable because of what it comes with. However, I think $150 is outrageous for the Legendary edition. I know Microsoft sets the price, but c'mon Bungie. Are you seriously going to let them do this? Tell us you at least tried to get a lower price set and I'll be somewhat happier. :/

EDIT:
I think some "Making Of" discs would be far better than some 10 pound statue of characters we know NOTHING about. I'd LOVE to see footage of audio recording sessions (mainly music). What about how the engineering and art teams decided which lighting was best for particular situations? The Dev Blog can only do so much, and in this case, it's not enough. Most of the time it's "oh, we're doing some awesome stuff, but we can't show you yet". That's nice and all, but what about HOW you're doing that awesome stuff? Having such information on a physical disc would be pretty sweet and many people would agree.

You've been Loganated.

If we get the legendary edition do we get both spartan and elite armor sets? Because legendary comes with everything in the limited version.

Edit: Yes we do. I found the answer in another forum.

Wow that's all I can say Bungie, These game editions are looking great. I just got the Halo: Reach Legendary edition it says it ships in September but it is worth the wait.

  • 04.28.2010 5:56 AM PDT

Just wondering, will the Limited/Legendary eiditon also be available for Pre-order in European countries such as, Holland and Great Britain and such?

Looks -blam!- sick. My only minor complaint is that the special edition game cases are black and not clear green, it doesn't look at cool in my opinion.



I have to agree. It's a minor complaint, and you'd think a black box would be great as compared to the Green one, but coming from past experience with the H3: Legendary Edition and it's Black Box, the quality of the box was accustomed to the generic, thin & flimsy black boxes Gamestopflop uses to house their used games when the original box isn't available.

Considering how much you pay for it, these should come in nothing less than a metal version of the case ala H2: Limited Edition. I know, I know, I'm terrible for nitpicking such an insignificant thing when you're getting a freaking McFarlane limited edition Statue but it just seems so oxymoronic to include such a terrible box with the rest of a phenomenal set of goodies.

But all in all, an impressive set of collectors editions all around as usual.

Oh my goodness I very much do admire that legendary edition looks like I'm going to have to start a Halo Reach Fund (Cash in my change jars but it sounds more impresive that way).

  • 04.30.2010 12:33 PM PDT

All the game editions look awesome but my is will the journal included in the limited edition come in the legendary edition?
(I know its a stupid question but I just want to be sure of what is included)

  • 05.01.2010 12:13 AM PDT

join our group!!!!!!!! =D

i pre-ordered the legendary edition but I'm actualy missing an extra dvd with extra content...

  • 05.01.2010 12:18 AM PDT

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Making Of/Behind the scenes DVDs.


Yeah. That was my pull for the Halo 3 Legendary Edition. I like behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm thinking I'm just going to go Regular. I don't have the space for all the fixin's. I just want my game.

I agree. Those war based shooters are like the mainstream sports games -_- make a new one every year and add a few minor changes but the gameplay is STILL the same.. those games are all hype. Halo has always had its core gameplay but it evolved massively with each game and reach is no differnt =)

Legendary here...just need to start searching the couch...
