Good write-up Urk!

Both Boardwalk and Countdown looks great, let alone the new STUDIO! It suits you guys well.

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.

Awesome, I'm getting pretty excited.

My total credits better not be reduced every time I opt to play Halo Reach offline. I'd hate to be robbed of anything just for choosing to play firefight to pass the time through an internet outage of some form or another, or to simply accommodate a system linked game out of XBL.

I am pretty sure this only applies to people who have the game already, and for the first time they go online. The way I understood it: Bungie just did a one time update to some algorithm that calculated credits and had a exploit in it.

~Beauty of Simplicity~

Were the death animations changed? I remember(halo waypoint footage) a lot more back flips from headshot kills :)

Thanks for the update Urk. People are still not clear on the whole credit deal.

When you escort your offline profile into the wonderful world of Xbox LIVE, our servers will identify your newly connected status and instantly notify you that our online credit scale operates on a completely different level.
When you play offline (I'm guessing campaign) and you gain credits.. When you return online, your credits will be deducted or reset?
Also if you are playing online and you get disconnected, once you reconnect, would credits earnt be deducted/affected?
Is there any bright light you could shine down on us?

Yah, that was certainly my first thought too, but I couldn't help but worry that Bungie rolled out another "mute ban" of a feature in the credit system out of some misguided desire to fix behaviors that aren't necessarily broken.

Death animations look sick.

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.

I am he who walks above the abyss
upon a mountain of sky
I am he who descends to the blackest nights
to the ever-slumbering restless
I am he who releases his star
which will shine and burn
I am the abyss / I am the storm / I am the sky

Hey, what's with the swat thing making it so the shield pops when you shoot them in the head? I kinda liked swat for the non-shield-poppy action that happened, the satisfying BOOM of a soft shieldless headshot. It's like when you hammer at someone's shields and then get that headshot, except with less satisfying hammering and more satisfying headshottage.

Mixing that satisfying headshottage with a not-making-sense shield pop is kinda wierd.

But I guess I'll deal.
