Awsome post urk, the elite's armor looks badass. I cant believe that we will actually encountr spec ops elites in the campaign.
REACH RULES !

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?


Recon and Flaming Helmet are two different things. You get recon by buying early (pre-ordering outside the US). You get Flames by buying the Legendary Edition. Flames can be used on any Spartan helmet you have.

There's also an Elite armor permutation with the Limited Edition, and that's also included with Legendary.

So, you don't need to preorder, and you just buy the regular copy of Reach, you get the recon helmet? Or do you just need to buy the copy like exactly the day it comes out. Or what? I'm confused as well

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!!


That would be beyond awesome to be Flood in multi... well it would be beyond awesome to be a Grunt in multi, too.

But I was kinda hoping because the Flood models wouldn't be in Reach cause of .. well, canon and all unless there are secrets, which we all know there are.

What i mean is, I was thinking since they wouldn't be making all these flood models for infected marines and elites and brutes, we could finally see female Covenant.

That was pushing it to begin with but hey, one can hope.

ya dude. If u pre-order at any time u will get the Recon helm..

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.

Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.
:'-(

I for one, would like to know the reasons why. You couldn't just do what you had in Halo 3 (Broken record?). This time you just earn a set instead of piece by piece.Sure its going to all be pretty cool looking at first...but then, thanks to attention spans...it will get old. A Simple(?) ability to swap stuff is a beautiful thing.

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.



I don't know about the Elites, it's obvious that they are hiding something about the Infection models. I'm not saying anything, but at the least I think they will not be normal Elite models.

Getting way too stoked for Reach!

Thanks for the update, Urk!

"Did I leave the oven on?"

If we preordered the game, do we get Reach Recon?

  • 06.12.2010 6:57 PM PDT

Live free, or die epically.

HOLY MOTHER -BLAM!-ING -BLAM!-!

Ahem...

Well done. Three thumbs up (I have a pet Chimp).

I'm confused though...

So I pre-ordered the Legendary Edition in the U.S., and paid it down, but I don't know if I can pick up my copy on release day (d*mn school). So if I don't pick up my copy on release day, does that mean I won't get Recon (that easily at least)? Or, because I pre-ordered it will I still get it even if I pick it up the next day (my parents WILL NOT keep me from it that long)?
