I don't believe in magic, but I DO believe in bones.

I know they probably already thought of this, but, with the (not all that surprising) reveal of modifiable armor abilities in customs, I have only two words. Jetpack Grifball.

I have to admit, in the Red versus Blue video I was excited about the hologram. Then I started thinking about it being overused and it just becoming a nuisance. Nice idea, but I don't think it should be implemented.

Nope. The customizable armor is for Aesthetic purposes only.

The hologram should have a reload time and same with other armor ability's.

no you pick youre armor abilities at the begining of each game, part of what makes halo what it is is the fact that every one is equal exept in skill

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.

~ JR

you earn credits for every thing: kills, commendations, just playing the game gets you credits

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.



You can also use Armor Abilities you know.

... (and another that would give away too much if I acronym-ized the title).

Can I go ahead and take a guess?

PoA?

:?D Although you may not know me yet, you will soon. I want to be famous for making forge maps or inventing something new on halo. I want to work for bungie and get payed to play. I want to be known for doing something and be talked about. I will be one of the best forgers ever. Eventually.

Character customization COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND!!! Firefight voice???? Omg i cannot wait for reach this will be the MOST EPIC GAME of 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that you can change your visor color too, i think red will be most common but thats just me...
