In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

now i might be wrong here, but I interpreted faces at the bottom to be Firefight voices. I don't know if this really qualifies as a cameo from Master Chief. He didn't talk that much in Halo 1-3.
Anyone have any insight into armor effect? Is the flaming helmet preorder bonus in that category? What IS in that category?

never cheat, never lie, UEG til i die.

i hope we can use Kat's prostetic arm. it will make epic machinimas and looks really badass!

Here's my thoughts on the mystery UNSC face next to Buck. I'm gonna go with either CPO Mendez, Colonel Ackerson, or the glorious return of Captain Jacob Keyes. The bigger question is, what's the space in between the mystery soldier and Kat? Looks straight outta Tron.

Best. Update. Evar.

Seriously, The Armory picture was better than anything I could have dreamed of. I am SO excited for it and it is probably my favorite new feature in Reach so far.

Playable Cortana, wut? Firefight voice?

EPIC update guys, I'd like to see Ginger outdo that one! Reach can't come soon enough!

Am I the only one disappointed about the hologram armor ability? I think it will ruin multiplayer for me. I am really disappointed.

Oh man, this was a great update. The big question I have about the Deja View video though is that if all the MP maps are in campaign, and that looks to be a Halo ring in the background of the new Gulch, are we gonna end up on a ring, or will this game be completely on Reach as we've been lead to believe and this stage just get a skybox change? Or did I just see something that wasn't there?
Really, REALLY getting impatient for this game, it's looking SOOOO amazing.

... and hope that Noble 6 Avatar helmet is available through other means besides what's listed in the update.

Get WorkPLaced!!

That took forever to read, and I loved it. I've always been a huge fan of customization in any game, but to have it in a Halo game? It's a dream come true.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Okay, this is going to be the most bad ass Halo game in history.
It's too bad I can't go to the comic-con. It's too far. I'm in L.A. and the comic-con is in San-Diego.
Anyway I will still try ans support you guys in whatever way I possibly can.
Nice update and keep up the good work! :D

I think lag already snatches enough hard earned kills out from under you. When hologram starts doing it I think people are going to feel that exact same frustration when their tactics and skill are rewarded with nothing.

If you're looking for me, message me. I'll answer. School/work keeps me off of BNet more often than I like.

Awesome update!

The lack of the Rogue helmet makes me upset, but that first pics helmet WILL be the replacement for me. Also, Cortana and MC as MP characters?

Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

there might be a rouge helmet later remember these are only the ones you can see on the first day

bungie do holograms show up on your radar?

  • 07.16.2010 9:47 PM PDT

So whats with those last pics? Armor effects that allow you to play as the MC or Johnson? or Cortana? Cuz thats badass.

  • 07.16.2010 9:53 PM PDT

The search bar is like a DMR.

Anyone can use it effectively if they try.
Smart people do use it effectively.
Idiots don't, then complain about how it doesn't work.
The only problem is that, the DMR is used in Reach, but the search bar isn't used in the Reach forum.

Great Update!
