Is there any way we can find out the pros and cons of pre-ordering at certain retailers?

I'll go ahead and say that it would be best to look it up on their website(s) for your nearest game store(s).

For example: I pre-ordered at Gamestop, so I'll be getting the armor mentioned in the update (and Recon) [pro], but it cost me 25 dollars to pre-order for the Legendary [con].
Pre-ordering online (Amazon) is actually cheaper than putting the extra money down and its mailed to you [pro], but you don't get Recon (I don't think, didn't see it), you get it after 5-9 days, and you have to pay for all of it right then and there (minus S&H on Amazon)[con].

I am a very pestamistic person. I see the glass half empty, even when it's full. Dont expect much from me.

Also, I hope Halo Wars doesn't count towards the special armor from Halo Waypoint.

Those achievements look pretty awesome.
And a seven pointed star? Mysterious
More medals will be fun, hopefully it means more of that guy's voiceovers

Honestly, 10 campaign missions is a fail.

Looks like another 6 hours campaign Like halo 3 :'(

Emergency QB? Hmm, well the rule actually states that if the emergency QB enters the game, neither the first string or second string QBs may re-enter. They have to be out for good. So... Urk's coming back, right?

Grats on the baby, Urk! He looks just like you!

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

That's actually a trading down achievement (giving a better weapon for a crappier one with an NPC Ally). Its the same exact achievement from ODST (except there's a DMR instead of a rocket launcher).

Oh, giving the Worthog driver the gun thing. I remember. My bad.
-edit, I mean the warthog passenger. I'm obviously way too Friday to be on the internet.

Hdawger, the wizard of the mountains.

Good job on the update. To clarify what some people were asking about pre-ordering from other retailers, I can at least tell you that on Amazon you can pre-order Halo Reach (any edition), get day one shipping and handling for only $5, you do get the recon armor code, $20 off a future videogame purchase, and you don't have to pay until it ships. The only down side is that they haven't announced their retailer specific pre-order bonus yet (if they even get one). But all in all, I would definately get this from Amazon.
