R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

I was kinda hoping there would be a control scheme similar to Halo 2. None of those control schemes have X to reload/pickup AND B to melee.

Oh well though everything else was really good in this update.

Nice update as always! Got to play some Halo 2 with the massive mob on the last day (not as much as I would have liked since the wife had to go to the hosptial(she's okay now(triple parentheticals FTW!))) but I got to finish Halo 2 with a lifetime kill count of 7777, so that's pretty sweet looking on the stats page.

Will the Halo 2 stats page be sticking around since the game is now offline? I'm guessing it probably wastes precious bandwidth or something, but it's cool to have the basic records still there.

Can't wait for the beta!

Come in with an odd one out all Yoko-style, and well, I'll let you do the math. Sorry, we can't pull any King Solomon type action. Whole players only.

I love you Urk.

Holy f***ing asscrackers on f***ing toast!

Oi- not too fond of those controller schemes. Can you guys there, I don't know, make one where RB is reload, LB is change grenades, b is melee and x is AA? The only thing I LIKED about Halo 3 was the controls, and this scheme would be greatly appreciated by moi.

Or hell, just make a classic recon, and change the X's and LB's up. That would please Gaga.

I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays Inverted. Urk, you just became my favorite ginger.

Good read! My mind melted from all the information!!

One question -
For those of us who pre-ordered the Legendary Edition and are getting the sweet Spartan armor effect, will we be able to toggle the flames on/off or will they always be on?

  • 04.23.2010 5:05 PM PDT

I have a pretty significant question:

Will our rank, credits, and all the rest of our stats we acquire in the Halo Reach beta carry over to the full game when it comes out?

  • 04.23.2010 5:10 PM PDT

Hey Urk, if I changed my GT from jakwak96 to Spartan052Jorge, and the Halo 2 games/stats didn't transfer(check my service record) am I out of the running for all the beta frebies?

Always on... plus you will flash neon colors constantly and emit a sound like a tornado alarm.

Seriously though, no clue, but I'd imagine you'd be able to turn 'em off since Bungie employees can currently play without the flames in Halo 3.

My gamertag doesn't have any Halo 2 games because I changed it (not made a new one) after Halo 2 went offline :(. Now I don't get any special prizes or do I? Good Update none the less....

If our heads are going to be on fire, then what's going to be special about the Bungie employee models?

  • 04.23.2010 5:16 PM PDT

Ugh... the number of flaming helmets will become horribly annoying within 1 hour of play. Bad move Bungie.

Invasion looks cool, as does the DLC elite armor.

great update! I have a question: Are Armor Abilities activated by holding down on the button, or do we tap it to activate it and tap it again to deactivate it?

Thanks!

Invasion looks sweet, can't wait to play it. No idea which controller scheme I'll use. I guess whichever one works for me.

  • 04.23.2010 5:25 PM PDT

I'm a little confused by the "a player who kept on keeping on, well after our connection was severed" mention for Halo 2. There are still more than a few of us online, and still enough to play matchmaking. I just got out of a couple Team Training games half an hour ago.

  • 04.23.2010 5:28 PM PDT

I think that I'll be sticking with Bumper Jumper.

But it would be nice if you gave us the option of Bumper Jumper with Equipment instead of Melee on RB.

everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

Great Update! Invasion sounds sick, and boneyard will most likely be my favorite map of the beta!

We're blind. Our connection to Halo 2 matchmaking has been severed completely.
