It's Hazard Time

Posted by: Finnish_Spartan

The weekly update is a little confusing with one of your forum posts. So it's still cut-off from may 26th, right? Codes used to activate the game after that wont count?

And the precise cutoff date for CD Keys was May 26th, 2010. If your key was ever used online before then, it counts.

But the update states:

You might still be able to snap up a copy of Halo 1 for PC at retail, though, (and since my earlier concerns about a working keygen were unfounded, I retract my earlier comment about a May 26th cutoff for first use of keys.)"

Looks like you still can buy Halo for PC (a legal version) and enter your code anyway :)

Will the new version of Bungie.net remove this Silverlight nonsense?

Is there no way that you could use the halo 1 disk itself to show that we have played halo 1?

For example on waypoint: please insert halo:CE disk to unlock emblem thingy

I just asked that but with the downloaded version.

"The Whore of Halo."

Spartan Helmet is probably for beating reach on legendary.

The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.

In all games you have your primary (1) and secondary (2) weapon.
So two weapons in total (for ALL games).

Dual-wielding is a different story though:
Halo: CE = No dual-wielding
Halo 2 = Dual-wielding
Halo 3 = Dual-wielding
H: ODST = No Dual-wielding
H: Reach = No Dual-wielding

Through my journey I have believed without doubt of the power inside of me. I used it with calm covalence, determined ability, and peace. Those around me see it as a guide, a beacon they have called the light through their darkness. Now, Descended as I may be, fallen into the Hollow Shell of a world by my own folly I still use this power. Through memory forgotten and allies fallen I remain strong. This power inside me will one day reveal itself, and I will use it as I always have for I am Lintro

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...


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.


It could be in game, its also classified. There is another thing you can do in game on halo 3 that is also labeled classified. Something that has to do with a cone and a spartan helmet. That would be pretty awesome if you unlocked it like that.

Yeah, is that going away. I had to basically delete everything on my comp recently, and now i keep getting an error every time i try to download silverlight.

accualy, duel wielding is back in reach, I have proof

The new firefight vid was very nice. The skeet shot? was a weapon I did not see till the video. Sweet, thanks for the wallpapers!

  • 08.22.2010 9:35 AM PDT

What if we bought Halo: CE from the XBOX Live Marketplace? Can you verify that we purchased off XBOX Live?

  • 08.22.2010 10:15 AM PDT

can we not pay for Bungie Pro?

Id say it's probably more like the Endure Vidmaster. Something having to do with Firefight and being in it for so many sets. Makes more sense. Everyone will beat it on legendary.

"Triple wielding" - Ever heard of sarcasm?

N4G interview with Marcus Lehto: "There will be no dual wielding in Reach, no."

All the weapons are balanced to single-wield, your not making any sense.

train hard, win big, live well.

sincerely hope you meant what you said about being able to use new copies of halo ce pc. cause i purchased one moment i read that. i have not seen my original copy of the game for years

  • 08.22.2010 2:23 PM PDT

For the nametag things i think the star should be awarded to all members of Bungie Pro so you can tell who the real halo fans are

Good point as i too purchased it from xbox live games on demand, surely you bungie could have the game do a quick search for Halo: CE gamesaves on the xbox360 that you are playing on when you load up reach to prove you have played Halo: CE

Only eleven pieces of flair!? You'd never be able to hold down a job at Chotchkies with only eleven pieces of flair!

Seriously though, those wallpapers are fantastic.
