Subject: Halo: Reach Launches 09.14.2010!

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.

Wait... so if I preordered Halo Reach Legendary Edition, from Gamestop USA, and it is being delivered to my house, do I still get the Recon Helmet?

"Just as 'Halo: Combat Evolved' catalyzed the success of the original Xbox to define a decade of entertainment, 'Halo: Reach' will push the boundaries for what's possible in video games and help make 2010 the biggest year in Xbox history."

It's good to know that Microsoft's Xbox team realizes the only reason for their success: Bungie.

Argh, why aren't these press releases accompanied by a mighty nice trailer?! xD

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

We made it to the Guiness World Record!!!!

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

Sweet!!! Just put in for my week vacation off of work.

Can't wait to see what will be unveiled at E3 either. I don't know how I could be more pumped for this game, but I am sure they will announce something crazy.

I got an email from amazon(.co.uk) after asking them about the DLC, i'm in a grey area between a bright and a dark outlook, but I shall hold onto hope and wait a while to see if they manage to get the preorder bonus DLC =)

I grew up playing your games Bungie, and I sure as hell am looking forward to whatever you decide to do next.

I must say that I am very curious to hear about exactly how the Recon codes are going to work and what it include (just helmet or also badass chest piece), also, I'd like to point out that they still have not informed us on what the "visual flair" for the people who played Halo 2 on the last day is. Questions must be answered!

  • 05.24.2010 1:19 PM PDT

I've been here a decent amount of time to know you're all crazy

AHAAHOHOHOAOHOHAOOOHHOAAHA!!!!!!! Just creamed

  • 05.24.2010 1:19 PM PDT

I preordered the Legendary Edition of the game. I shall pick it up on the 14th, of course. It will be my first midnight release ever.

But I read somewhere that the additional armor permutation was only for the STANDARD edition. So something I would like answered myself is if we'll ALL be guaranteed them (also I wonder if the stores will run out).

  • 05.24.2010 1:22 PM PDT

Oh man, this is great! I can't wait for it to release.

Good to see it's ahead of schedule (as you guys said you were targeting a fall release, yet it comes out in summer).

Where Bungie is located September is Fall/Autumn not summer.

Hope this still leaves them with enough time to accomplish what needs to be done to make this a good game.

Its just a game.

I pre ordered it 2 weeks ago at my game store, but i live in belgium.
Is there a list of all the stores/game chains that will give out the recon tokens?

  • 05.24.2010 1:55 PM PDT

Dear Bungie,
If you where a woman i would marry you.

Well you guys picked a hell of a day to release. Sep 14 is my birthday. Im going to be sure I pick up the legendary edition.

  • 05.24.2010 1:56 PM PDT

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Will people receive the Recon Helmet for purchasing Halo:Reach via Amazon.com prior to the release date?

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Hahaha true.



Question:

If you have already pre-ordered online (amazon) do you get the recon token thing? Or do you have to buy it from a store?
