They had them in the beta so I would assume so.

If you mean in campaign then considering the ground work is already there and there were those 3-4 jetpack elites in Halo 2 then its a very strong possibility =)

I love pretty much anything halo and I like videogames that is all you need to know. Oh yeah I like Halo! Oh wait I already said that. ALSO IGNORE ALL MY RENDER VIDEOS THEY WHERE FOR A SIDE PROJECT.

Nice Update!
But since you said something about squirrels and if there in the campaign you should have like a group of grunts get freaked out by them or have the elites use them as target practice and how about monkeys. Just a suggestion

Can I haz soda?

Where exaclty is the information on how to get recon for reach?

  • 06.12.2010 11:18 PM PDT

Holy Sh-- the Elite Spec-Op is AMAZING! I'd pay $60 to play a game as that Elite in a blank room with nothing to do... Well mabye not but that is awesome.

Can't wait for E3, I know you guys got some real bombs set up to drop! (Reach?/Aerospace??/Next big thing???) (Don't tell sage though, he'll nerf it!)

Awesome update. A lot of new info, i realy liked the spec-ops elite armot. It looks realy awesome

you can solve all your problems with explosives!

I know this is probably flamebait, but why are the brutes being included? I thought the whole point of reach's campaign was to have you up against elites because they're actually fun to fight, not the brutes who are slow, stupid and boring in comparison to the Elites. also, why would they be participating in the battle of reach if they didn't gain any real military power within the covenant until truth kicked the Elites out of his honour guard and replaced them with brutes? It just doesn't seem to make sense, much like the totally pointless inclusion of the brutes in halo wars when the elites are far more awesome. I don't want an overshielded monkey with a weapon he doesn't even have to be near to me to use, only to have my spartan flying over the edge of a cliff and sending me back to the last checkpoint. I want to face off against a skilled alien swordsman who has depth and intelligence in the way he moves, rather than the chieftain's strategy of "run at it and spam it with a hammer until it either explodes or falls off the map". I'm still gonna buy it and play it to death, but why Brutes!

They already have monkeys, they're called Brutes xD

wait, you cant costimize elite armor like shoulders and helmets and bodys, you would have to have one big option with all of the stuff already picked for you? :(

  • 06.13.2010 8:22 AM PDT

yes they can!

  • 06.13.2010 8:23 AM PDT

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Also, Marty better put the chanting in as an easter egg or something, or else...

Well, nothing. It'll just be slightly less awesome.

i think you should look at the FAQs to answer your questions or look for a forum made to answer your questions

  • 06.13.2010 3:25 PM PDT

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

Probably too late, but I finally remembered a suggestion I had. Add an option to change what weapon your in menus Character Model is holding.

It would be be epic if bungie made a spartan helmet that looked close to a mandalorian. I mean, they made the E.O.D. almost like a stormtrooper so it would be cool to see something like that in reach.
