Fight with honour or do not fight at all...

does anyone know if buying halo 1 from the xbox live arcade will count for the visual flair? surely they'd be able to track that?

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.

I wonder what the spartan helmet can be for.

Bungie Employees only? or will Bungie have it's own "Bungie" flare just like in Halo 3?

What about the star? Is the star going to be the next Recon were you give it to those who did something cool or special?

Interesting...

Maybe that could be what the spartan helmet is for. Who knows?

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.

Pretty Awesome, campaign matchmaking! Horray

Well, that about covers it.

Here's an idea for the Halo 1 emblem for those that haven't played it for the PC, instead have it unlock for those who have purchased Halo CE Games on Demand from the Marketplace. I know it's just an emblem but this way seems more do-able.

I have a feeling that the Spartan Helmet will be for doing something in-game, possibly like the Security/Katana armors.

Bungie said that they have their own flair that isn't up there.

Ph33r t3h Gawdpupp33!

Maybe the same can be done for the Halo 2 emblem if they have played Halo 2 Vista.

  • 08.20.2010 7:29 PM PDT

Awesome.

  • 08.20.2010 7:31 PM PDT

Wow, the visual flair stuff looks awesome. I have no idea which one I might use. Depending on what the requierments for the ODST one is, I'll probably use that one.
However, I really loved seeing that 5 minute Firefight video of Skeet Shooting. I really hope that you'll be able to download Firefight settings like you can with custom game ones.

When you play an original Xbox game, it isn't added to your profile, and you are taken offline.

Just let us start it over again, and we'll be good. This time we'll get it right. It's our last chance to forgive ourselves.

None of the wallpapers fit my desktop ;_;

If I had a custom Avatar, this is what it would look like.

So for the Halo 2 flair, did you have to play Halo 2 right before it ended, or does it not matter?

Doesn't matter. As long as it's the same Live account you play Reach with, the first day is as good as the last. (And for the people who simply renamed their gamertag but kept the same actual account going, that's ok too)

True fans don't care if others get the same stuff as they do, they play the game because they enjoy it, not to get some exclusive stuff.

Great Update.

A pleasant surprise to find Campaign Matchmaking in Reach, don't you think?

  • 08.20.2010 8:11 PM PDT

I hope I can be a beta tester for the new maps!!

sweet update,cant wait to get some headshots with that new sniper rifle.....i love bungie!!!!!

IIIIIII

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

Edit: Also also - "Be the Bullet"? No-scope medal, or consecutive headshot medal?
I thought it was a no-scope medal as well, but I think consecutive headshot is really what it is.

Also, how will we choose which flair we want? Through the in game menus? Or through bnet?
