I just want to say thank you for the recon control scheme

  • 04.23.2010 7:17 PM PDT

I'm hearing a lot about Elite Armour "Sets", but what I want to know is: Can we, at the very least, mix and match pieces from various sets we've unlocked in Reach, like we could in Halo 3? Say for instance I get the Limited Edition for the Elite Armour set. Would I be able to combine the torso and shoulders with the default Elite helmet, or would I have to choose either the Limited Edition Set or the default set?

ya it looks sweet, do u know when the next sarkathlon is, even if i dont care about flame you just have to order legendary reach!!

  • 04.23.2010 7:25 PM PDT

As much as I enjoy the updates leading to a release, I'm glad there's only one left before the Beta (it's super awesome)!

Can't wait to get my hands on any number of interesting controller layouts... but, I'll most likely default to bumper jumper.

Awesome.

I'll be honest, Legendary Edition doesn't feel entirely like my cup of tea. Flaming helmet never interested me and though I love the figure and Todd McFarlene's Halo figures in general, it isn't a must have so I think I'll be very satisfied picking up Limited Edition. I must say, Dr. Halsey's personal journal is very interesting and incredibly cool.

Not that I wont be getting Legendary anyway. Boyfriend has every intention of attempting to get Legendary Edition for himself so hopefully I'll be able to see the figure and have it around all the same.

I am curious however about Southpaw. I personally don't use it but my boyfriend does because he is left handed and when I found out about Bumper Jumper, that seemed good for him, except there is no Southpaw Bumper Jumper. Jumping is his biggest issue as it is difficult to jump with A and continue walking forward when the same thumb needs to control both at the same time.

And REALLY.. what is with all the Reloads being on X again? I love having reload on right bumper. I guess Recon control setup for me. But thank you so much for all the control options. It's a shame some FPS STILL can't include at least the more common ones like Southpaw.

Bring on the Beta. Invasion and Generator Defense are the two I am most interested in.

That video was funny.

  • 04.23.2010 7:54 PM PDT

Great update! Man, the anticipation for Beta and NT1 is going to be almost unbearable. I don't know what I'll do with myself, other than play the rest of what the Beta (it's super awesome) has to offer.

Also, big thanks for the Recon button layout! That's exactly the scheme I was hoping for.

bungie!!! what have you done?!?!? with default controls you cant jump and use both analogue sticks and with bumper jumper you cant use your jetpack and use both your analogue sticks...oh right...jetpack will be used with the jump button...or it better be...also LEGENDARY EDITION IS TOO OVERPRICED!!! don't want statue...just want flaming head. *crying* also box is too big...you'll look stupid walking out of a supermarket holding a massive box like that...seriously. apart from these problems that im having; OMG Halo REACH beta *sqeals* yay! I think i just went from an A student to a D student...There has to be a way to get flaming head without paying and extra $50 or something...depending on where you live...please?
mabye i can use that claw thing with your fingers or whatever...or mabye you can press down on your right analogue stick for jump/equipment!

Great Update, I can't wait to try out Invasion, it looks sick!

Also, you should swap the Grenade and Equipment button on the Recon controller scheme, that way it's the same setup as Halo 3.

I was thinking this, but equipment plays a larger role in the game, so it needs a bumper position for easy access. Also, best update in weeks. Great work, can't wait!

A Halo 2 Glitch Master, "retired" since i couldn't find anything good in Halo 3, hoping for a come back. I'm a huge Marathon fan too. If you want to verse me, please message me through my Bungie.net profile.
My weapon of choice is the warthog (Driving); I'm one of the best drivers out there, so if i get my hand on a vehicle, you're going to wish i hadn't XD

April 20th I became one of the final 30 people to play Halo 2 online. Unfortunately I was kicked by Microsoft that day.

hey - thanks for recognizing us (the final 50, 30 , 16, blah blah blah). I don't know if you realize it, but after the counter hit n/a, we were still playing. in fact, i think there are still some of us still playing too =D

but wow...isn't that kinda...i don't know...blasphemous that you're giving out flaming helmets to people who pay $150 (ok im buying it, but still)?

oh and, is there a possibility of us being able to program our own controls? i really want to go back to halo 2 controls ='( i was tired of the halo 3 controls enough =(

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Great update, first of all.

Secondly, you guys keep saying Boneyard is the biggest multiplayer map you've ever done. I don't think I believe you. I need a schematic of this next to one of your previous largest maps so I can really see. Cuz there have been some big maps...

Also, RB for melee is stupid, just stupid.

  • 04.23.2010 9:20 PM PDT

I'm with the legendary set, I'm all about the flaming skull. I remember the one game of Halo 3 I ever played when I was gunned down by an illusive bungie employee with a flaming skull. I've been jealous ever since and now as of today my pre-order affirmed my flaming position. Too bad I won't be able to use it in the beta.

Will I feel like an employee this time in Halo: Reach?! zomg!

And, I wonder how Sage's wife (if he has one, lol) feels about his tail-beard.... We should make a deal to get that cut off...

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA

Looks like I'll be using the Recon controller scheme too.

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 epic! invasion looks so incredibly cool now I can't friggin' wait for this beta!!!!
