There are plenty of things to say, but which one is right?

I think I'll play with the Recon controller set.
Nice beard by the way.

There's gonna be way too many of those flaming helmets. These different pieces of visual flair that we get for doing certain things, will we be able to stack these up so we can wear all the ones we unlock at the same time?

They did, it's called Recon.

This update wasn't great because of the controller layouts, but because urk showed the controller layout with inverted controls! Now that's super awesome.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...


It's not a "War On Drugs", it's a war on personal freedom.

Good lookin assets there. Boneyard looks amazing.

I hope the props for playing Halo 2 are tier based upon how many games you have logged. I think I have played over 10,000 Halo 2 games online.

A hero need not speak. When he is gone, the world will speak for him.

Sweet! I must buy the Legendary Edition.

Can't wait...although I'm sure I won't be able to play until the 5th as my download goes up a percent every 10 minuets.

Whoever did that Sage picture at the end, you just absolutely made my day.

I had a question..

as long as the gamertag you're currently using tallied up an online game of Halo 2.

I changed my gamertag a long time ago (not changed my account, just changed the name of my Xbox Live account) and now when I look under my Halo 2 games it says I haven't played. But I can still find the games I played with my other name recorded on Bungie.net when I enter my old name into the search field.

Will I not get the flair because of this? Thanks in advance.

Awesome update. I can't wait to give the crazy new control scheme a try, and it's good to see that we have a Halo3-ish control scheme (Recon) to go back to if we want to.

And I didn't believe it until I saw it in the update, we get flames for getting the legendary edition!? You're way too good to us Bungie lol

  • 04.24.2010 8:53 AM PDT

Reeeeeeeeeeeach, mmmmkay.

*shakes wildly with excitement*

Don't make me kick your ass.

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


Yeah, I'd like it too !
The gameplay doesn't seem to have changed a lot, so why don't provide the same controller scheme as Halo 3's default ?
What I like with Halo 3's default scheme, is that Left/Right Bumpers refer to top left/top right part of the screen (one to change grenades, the other to reload weapon).
It wouldn't make sense to not provide this scheme in Reach !

Can't wait for the beta ;)

Keep the hate coming Flood, I can take it. Because I'm the hero the Flood deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so you'll flame me, because I can take it. Because I'm not a hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector...jrv2005.

Oh sweet! It's BF: Bad Company 3!

Oh wait...

Great update, can't wait to "spawn on your bro coop style" in less than 9 days!!!

  • 04.24.2010 10:55 AM PDT

Wouldnt it be cool if they had firefight in halo reach which would be even cooler then any game

  • 04.24.2010 11:34 AM PDT

The game sounds great so far, but i think it would be even better if you could have your own custom made controller layouts. I keep looking at the different layouts, and none seem to match my style. For default if you were to move the equipment to RB, jump to LB, melee to B, and switch grenades to A, that would make it perfect! Still, i'm sure lots of other people would enjoy a custom made layout, would make things a lot easier.

So if we can already obtain flame, what magnificent piece of armor will Bungie be keeping for themselves. ;D

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

The amount of juice in that update was just ridiculous. Thanks Urk!

I'm really happy, because bumper jumper is EXACTLY the same (the new default? ;) But I agree that it makes sense to switch the nade and equipment buttons on Recon to make them more H3-esque. Halo 3 ended up with a really intuitive and fun default scheme.
