Nice! Reading now.

*Holy -blam!-, I was right about each of the hidden options under the armory. If you'll excuse me, I have to go and punch several people in the face.

Im opt in for beta testing for sure! I can drive to bungie studios for testing if needed!

I think i would be a good tester since i could easly find exploits and possible exploitable portions in a game that could be modified for online play due to jtags or softmods. :)

Sweet!

Next Day Edit:
Whew. Well than... now that I'm done hyperventilating into a foam soaked frenzy fresh from the smell of chocolate-chip-cookies-that-just-got-out-of-the-oven-of-Antic ipation-&-Want. . . I have some things to say.

Now I would PM you this of course, IF it wasn't for the fact that I have a better chance of winning the lottery than Bungie PM game of "chance". Hopefully my words being out in the open here will cause them to be seen, or even better, responded to (so that I would know in turn it has been seen ).

That said I shall now pick apart some things into questions & suggestions.

Is there an animation for a failed assassination against a Hologram? or better yet Can you even try to assassinate a hologram? ( I imagine the animation, if it were to exist, would be a classic neck slash pose - the hologram then disengaging - and then a confused or a "Its a Trap!" look in the body language while the knife is place back into the hilt )

Is there an assassination animation for the flag?

He handed me the controller and I quickly ran up the stairs where a stash of weapons, healthpacks and a few armor abilities were conveniently placed by the mission designer. I ditched Sprint and picked up Hologram. The Hunter pair arrived in their drop ship and immediately turned to engage me as I ran behind a large rock. I deployed my Hologram off to the left and as the Hunters gave chase, I flanked around the right and unloaded my shotgun in their vulnerable back-sides. Rinse and repeat.
So. . . How do armor abilities work in single player? I mean... I understand based on what I have read, but, I find switching so easy to be odd. What I had thought (see assumed for the time, sorry) that we would of had to have the game choose for us as per mission objective at the beginning of the game or something around that idea.

Back when I wasn't sure if we'd have much to talk about in the update I asked our fan community to pose some questions to Reach's Campaign Design Lead, Chris Opdahl, who graciously offered to spend time answering them. I'm not too sure why, but I always seem to miss these true opportunities to ask questions... What part of the forum (or other forum) is this usually in?
You're looking at - in condensed form - every item that is visible to players in the Armory on Day 1. The word 'visible' is particularly important because it underscores an important couple of notes about how the Armory functions in Halo:Reach.

More items become available as players Rank up.

So I gather not all that stuff is going to be available on day one. Ok. But now here is my question when we first go into reach will you grace us with some points gratis so that we can unlock one or two things just to get the ball rolling (as it were)? I ask this because I don't play multiplayer in till I have beat single player at least once. While I haven't decided yet, I might go in with my Xbox Friends in Co-op, and I don't want to look the same as them. I want (would like) to be unique day one ( cuz... it's me). I, for example would unlock an Helmet and the computer on wrist thing.

Can I have a Noble 6 avatar helmet code, please? I mean I would go get it myself, but we in the East Cost don't get no respect from the biggest conventions on all of Gamer/Geek -dome.

Why was the clean ODST style chosen for the Reach Achievements?

(I find it odd you would change the look of the Metals to a more gritty nature, and yet keep things so clean for the other "Metals"...namely the Achievements.)

I would also like to add a suggestion to a specific little detail. Each level, as has been shown, has a Achievement for beating said level. As I recall, it has been stated that as we progress through the game the we will watch Reach turn from Lush to Glass as the game progresses. Well the thought occurs, why isn't this true for the achievements as well? Why is the achievement "X" have a as lush background as "II". "X" should be a Black and Orange Ball. I hoping, since what I am saying is more Art than Code that at the very least this could be updated with the suggestion I have just stated.

<3 Ya Bungie ( Just make sure you show some love in the east coast!)

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.
