This is my original acc, but I changed my GT email, so its not linked to this acc anymore.

Wow that pretty good, but too bad I will be shipping off to uni sometime around then.
All I really have to say is that Bunige please if you feel its ready then release it, otherwise, I'm sure most of us wouldnt mind waiting a bit longer.

Stolen Rifle from Tundra94.

So what you are saying that instead of a flaming helmet, we get a recon helmet? Or do we get both?

Edit: Apologies I read it wrong. We get the recon helmet if we just straight up buy this piece of gold.

16,000,000 hours or total gameplay. Just imagine if we got paid for that.

Pre-ordered and paid for my Legendary. Now just have to make it to September.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

So excited. :)
Excited to see Recon will return in Halo: Reach. The question is, what will take Recon's place in Reach? You know, the armor everyone wants, but barely anyone gets it.

  • 05.24.2010 8:43 PM PDT

this is what it says on the Halo Waypoint.

"Reserve Halo: Reach and pick up your copy on launch day to gain access to an exclusive, downloadable Spartan Recon helmet variant."

In other words not only do you need to already reserved the game then you need to pick it up on Launch day.

i'm glad to have my Limited edition reserved.

  • 05.24.2010 9:42 PM PDT

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

What gave them the idea that releasing it in the middle of the week was a good idea?

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

It will be fall up here in North America.


Uh...no it won't. Fall begins 1-2 weeks after. And I am not complaining!

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said could never be done.

My friend will rage because his birthday is four days earlier.

Doesn't Fall technically start on the 21st?


23rd actually. 2 days off? Close enough :)

With the Legendary edition will be an 'Exclusive Recon Helmet Unlock'

Excuse me? What happened to the FLAMING HELMETS WE WERE PROMISED?

Legendary edition is still getting the flaming aura effect, the recon armor variant is just an extra bonus for preordering from the right places =)

Which are the participating retailers that will give away the recon helmet?

Does this offer apply to all editions?

It appears that you get a Recon Helmet just for pre-ordering. Personally, I always use GameStop b/c they are trustworthy and reliable. I called my connection at the local store and he said they will be getting specially marked pre-order packages that have your Recon Helmet code inside the pack.

Limited Edition pre-orders get a special Elite Armor download plus goodies.

LEGENDARY EDITION pre-orders get all Limited Edition goodies and downloads PLUS the flaming helmet aura effect, more goodies, McFarlane's bad-to-the-a*bone statue, and the satisfaction that you own every piece of Reach available on launch day!

Here' is your link to GameStop and there's also a picture of the Recon Helmet there!!

Super Awesomeness. I'm glad I have September off until the 27th, then I start my ACG class.

But . . . does it include Firefight?!!?!?
