and outside of North America by making a pre-order reservation at participating retailers. Does this apply for all editions?

Shweet!

I guess that Recon helmet is the official pre-order incentive, then?

Halo: Out with a whimper
A fan made kick ass 2D Halo.

"The crunch on Halo 2 was, 'Oh my god, we're f***ed. We're all going to die.'" ~ Chris Carney

God I hope amazon.co.uk is gonna be in the participating circle so I can get that code ~crosses fingers~

And whats up with GAME? They only have the recon code for the standard edition at the moment...

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.

I'm suprised, I thought it would be out much later than that. I'm not complaining though...

I do wonder about the Recon, however.

How exactly will these codes be distributed? Will there be one in each pre-ordered case, or will the retailer have a pile of codes and give them out to people who come the first day?

I ask because the later methods often cause problems with there not being enough codes in one store, and then a store a few blocks down has a ton, but nobody goes to that store or pre-ordered there.

Also, Is it just the helmet, or do we get the much cooler chest and shoulders too?

Lastly, mind giving us a pic of "teh reconz"?

Anyone else notice this is exactly 117 days from the end of the Beta to the release. Quote below from fellow clanmate:

Fragbucket
This release date means that there are exactly 117 days between the end of the beta and the launch of the full game.

You picked a hell of a day to join up.

Ok folks, as we all know Bungie probably has that timer set up in the studio. I set one up on my Droid as well.

Mind you, this is a constant decrease in figures. We have this much time left:

112 days, 9:50 hours.

That comes out to 2697 hours.

161,877 minutes.

9.712.630 seconds (Dwindling down every second)

I wonder if Achronos can put some sort of timer up on the front page.

Let me get this straight:


-So only people that pre-order the Standard Edition outside of North America get the Recon armor
-Anyone inside NA only gets the Recon Armor by not pre-ordering and getting the game the day it releases?



Yeah, I'd like clarification on that. I'm a US player who pre-ordered from Amazon, so I won't actually receive the game on launch day. Does that mean I won't get Recon?

Would release date shipping remedy this if its a problem?

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Yes!

What's funny is, it's actually a coincidence.


How so?

Remember when the reveal trailer for reach was 117 MB?

If I preordered the game from Best Buy, and it is shipped to me a few days later, do I still get the Recon helmet?

Back the (tr)uck up! You get a token for an in-game Recon Helmet "If you pick it up from a retailer." SO, my $150 pre-order that's being delivered to my house is exempt? No Recon for me to haz? Ah, the stress of marketing propaganda.

BUNGIE -- Release the xact details for ordering so people like me who want every little Extra can have it.

Wait, so if buy Reach from Amazon.com, will I still get the token for the Recon armor?

You say there is no God. For your sake, I hope your right!!

Alright official business has been taken care of. PLease no countdown at least not on the front page. I don't wanna catch myself just starring at it for the ext couple of months. lol

  • 05.24.2010 12:32 PM PDT

Does anyone know if there is a chance that there will be a launch party for Halo Reach like they had for ODST?

  • 05.24.2010 12:35 PM PDT

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

I can't wait! Now I get exclusive armor too! Thanks Bungie!

Tuesdays are no fun.
