Also: the explosions in the Firefight snipers video were AMAZING.

Edit: Also also - "Be the Bullet"? No-scope medal, or consecutive headshot medal?

Also Jurkle. I don't know if the rest of the people here agrees but I think instead of that Marathon Arcade visual flare we could use the Marathon's traditional emblem shown as my avatar. I've always loved that.

wow, Campaign matchmaking! I just hope it runs smoothly.

Now if Reach could make me pancakes it'd be complete.
Reach couldn't possibly make French toast could it, can it?

So wait. We can now go out and buy Halo: CE still and get the flair? Because not only would I like to play it online I think, the flair would make me go out and get it I think. Hmm. But then... the AR is awesome too. Though the Spartan Helmet has be intrigued.

Yeah, but Halo: PC copies aren't very easy to find. But, if I read it right, you can buy a new copy. But, I might just use the Durandal one, considering I had played it. Or maybe the Beta one.
Decisions, decisions. . .

Is the circle created by the Target Locater visible to enemies?

Luckily I have bought the last new copy of Halo: PC at gamestop this year. I also have played Halo 2, and of course, Halo 3. I'm using the HALO emblem. I'll be the coolest one on the block.

You dropped that little link at the end in the blame stosh section, that deserved it's own freaking news article! AWESOME!

Holy crap that Nobel Team logo iPad wallpaper is epic but Auntie Dot's iPad wallpaper is just the background, and Reach's iPad wallpaper link is broken. Fix plxplpxlplx I want so badly to have my lock screen as auntie dot and then have my home screen as the Noble Tesm crest :D

I'm loving those flairs =D

New wallpapers are great and all but there should be far more resolutions... How about 1920x1080? 1080p would be very useful seeing as that's my monitors resolution. I know most PC monitors are 16:10 but some people buy their monitors for gaming.

The Outpost map looks amazing. Can't wait to play it in campaign(it is in campaign right?)The campaign matchmaking...how does that work? Do you select the level and skill and start searching or do you find a group of similar skill level and decide on skulls, level and difficulty?

"Be the bullet" & Moa hunting.. lol Bungie's humor is the cherry on top of the delicious cake that is Reach.

P.S.Its kinda annoying how people post "Reading" or "first" before even glancing at the update.

PPS Wallpapers are SEXY

Anyone know if we need our gamertag linked to get any of the flair besides the Septagon? Because that ODST flair looks awesome IMO.

I like the look of that forge world map in the last vid. It sorta reminds me of Lockout which is still one of my favorite maps.

Awesome update Bungie! Man I can't wait until this game ships! :D

So, come around its up on B.net I'll just enter my Halo 1 code on the site? Good.

Also, Can we get a clarification on if Firefight/Campaign will have 4 player splitscreen on a single xbox? ODSTs 2-player really killed it for me and my friends, we Can system link sure but he does not always bring his 360. I'm hoping reach allows it.
