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?


Yeah I think that the flaming helmet will be in that category along with that electricity stuff and the stinky green gas stuff. It looks like everyone will be able to have heads that are surrounded by something. And I think that the skulls with the stuff around them is for when you die... kind of like grunt birthday party except spartans exploding with confetti.

When the hologram gets to its destination does it keep walking or will it just stand there for the next 10 seconds? Plz reply

Is it just me or is the new EOD kind of clone-ish, as in Star Wars Clones.

I wanted a gumball so I said "Yo devil you got change for a soul?"

Satan appeared and said "Yeah, yeah mosuckra! I got yo change right here just sign this contract and I'll give you your quarters!"

So I signed it, lost my soul, and got 4 quarters. I have never regretted this decision.

So... there seems to be two types of armor effects thus far. Head Effects, like the flaming helmet, electricity, and pig-pen (lol peanuts reference) effects, but then there seems to be Death effects, which I presume occur when you die. One cause Confetti to fly out of your head, the other causes hearts to fly out of your head?

My question is, can we enable both at once?


I doubt it they probably both fall under armor effects so people will have to choose which they would prefer... an unbathed head or a head that explodes hearts.

You've taken your first step into a larger world

I would think it'll move as long as you are moving where you point your gun... then it'll *poof @ 10 seconds. So I don't think it'll just stand there

Hey Bungie,
Will there be an extra cutscene at the end of Reach if you beat it on Legendary just like previous games?

How am I the first to ask: nueticle?

Is this a typo regarding reticle or some new feature regarding teabagging?

Absolutely fantastic update. A lot of in depth descriptions and a lot more things revealed. Thanks Sketch.

Looking good Bungie.

First of all i hope you guys made the armor lock less powerfull. It got really annoying when people went into it when they were like a one shot. Second of all the hologram sounds really stupid. It's going to be really frustrating when I try and kill someone, and it turns out to be a hologram. All the armor is cool, so I like that part. One more thing I no this isn't halo 3 but I like to play MLG so I hope the DMR is a little more powerful since the beta. I'm a huge Halo fan, but to me this doesn't look like halo. I hope this game turns out to be the game of the decade, and I'm sure it will be.

OMG SPI ARMOUR!!!! FINALLY!

youre forgeting the positive side of this is that YOU can use these armor abilities if you want

I think they are improving halo and making it a stronger title and game that will most likely be game of the year

  • 07.17.2010 12:54 PM PDT

Wow Sketch, brilliant work my friend, you did a stunning job with this update!

I'm not going to lie, I was very intrigued when I noticed all of the different types of helmets. I have a question about them though. It was talking about customization options as you rank up with Credit. Now what exactly is Credit? Is that basically gained by player more, or doing more achievements or something, because I just wanted to know.

Oh, and about the Noble 6 helmet that's going to be available for those who attend PAX, GamesCon, and Comic Con, does that mean that when we get to PAX, GamesCon, or Comic Con that we will have to sign up somewhere, or will we get some sort of code for it when we get there.

Wow, and I am very interested in the new achievements, those all sound very fun, some of them are even like the Halo 3 Achievements, as I came to notice the "What's a Killing Spree" Achievement.

Anyways though, brilliant update Sketch, ha, you should make them more often. No offense to Urk, and Stoshy though, lol, you guys are awesome as well. Oh and you too Lukems.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

I dont remember the last time we had such a colossal update

Que Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

--Tea-baggers are funny, it's as if they think they are far more hetero than the people who do it in real life, because they use their e-ballsacks to do it. What a manly victory dance.

Holy crap, you're gonna be at comicon for a year? 7/22 - 7/19 lol

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Awesone update.

I appreciate that there are no difficult map or playlist specific achievements.
Forcing players to play Lone Wolves was not a good idea.

Tru7h. Also, DMR does not need a buff. I am sure MLG will have their custom settings for damage to be enough.
