I dislike how "bob" is used so generically.

Thank God that you guys changed the Recon attachment's look. I personally think the first one looked terrible.

I agree. although recon is cool and it was fun unlocking it, will there be another armor variant that will be handed out the same as recon? I hope not it just provokes people to steal accounts i think.

Flood as the infected? that would not be true to the story seeing as how the chief is uncovering the secret of the flood on the first halo....WHO cares DO IT Anyway!!! lol

Yo dawg great update Now back to WORK!!

i still don't understand how to get recon i have pre-order and will i get a card with a code like i did for stg. Jonson?


Yup, if you pre-ordered you're good to go. (But pre-ordering is not required in NA.)

I'm confused too now.
Are Recon and the Flaming Recon two different things?
I thought we only got a special Flaming Recon helmet with a Legendary pre-order.
Did I miss something?

Great update, thanks.


who who who, is it possible Flood models will be in Infection?? :D


That would be cool, but I think it will have Elites as the zombies. Tumbling = evade. Don't hold me to that though. Either way, "Safe Havens" sounds like fun. I'm liking the mixing of objective and slayer games that Reach has.

that elite armor perm looks amazing.. and zombies are elites in infection?

At least we have a squirrel.

That infection mode seems oddly similar to something I thought of, except my idea was to have the humans more powerful than the zombies and they have to move across a very large enclosed map to get to a destination. The Zombies would have to prevent them getting there.

BRUTES! :D

Magnum, FTW.

I was thinking Elites, but now you're just confusing me. Do flood forms now tumble?

Next week, we'll all be #Bungie, big time.

Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

The new Elites look badass! Maybe I'll favour an Elite over a Spartan this time? Good job, Bungie.

Brutes better be mini-bosses, so they will finally live up to their name!

Preferred this round will be the Elites. The S3s just don't seem correct for the time line. Very odd armor perms.

Here's hopin' for flamin' Elites in the super-duper legendary edition.

So there's no need to purchase anything for Elite models? Oh well, the Elites are looking quite fearsome so far!

I'm also glad to read about the Brutes, Grunts, Hunters, and Jackals. I can only hope to see some of these Covenant, or all of them, at some point during E3. Nothing about Drones or Engineers though...


I think the Engineers were seen in the first Vidoc
Also, about the porcupine, if you guys decide to cut it, at least leave it as an easter egg somewhere if you finished up the model.

Lovin' the update.

  • 06.12.2010 3:45 AM PDT

We are Orbital Drop Kamikazi Troopers, dropping feet first into hell with a grenade in each hand and a charge of C4 strapped to our back, ready to blow the devil to heaven with no thought of comeing back, except for cookies.

hey urk, we'll still get the flamin head with the legendayr edition as well as the recon armour varient wont we, this is what im most confused about...

OMG u gota make the infected on infection mode the flood that would be EPIC!!!!!!!

cant wait to se the assasination clips for the jackal too, they could be amusing to say the least!!!

update seemed to ramble on a bit, ceeping alll the good stuff clouded in wordy mystery, anyways, epic update and cant wait for more!!!

  • 06.12.2010 4:29 AM PDT

Great Update, and i am excited to see what the brutes return as, because they have never been as exciting to fight as other covenant

Yep two seperate things. Flames you get with legendary, recon you get with pre-order and/or on launch.
