Yeah I found that weird too. I could have swore GI only gave it a 9.5, not a 10...

Only reason why I'm still here is because I don't have my copy yet D:
My mum said either I wait for Christmas or get a job and buy it myself and I have been trying to get one for 2 months >.<
When I do get one, I'll get the game and wireless kit for 360 :D.. Hopefully they still have the legendary/ limited editions by then which is unlikely.

Apart from that.. I have questions
With the credits system
You said a while back that it can tell the difference between actively playing, rubber band on the controller and not actively playing..
If you were playing forge for example and you were actively playing for 2 hours, then you remember/ or someone telling you that you need to get the washing from the clothesline or wash the dishes, would that affect the credits you would've gotten if you didn't do it, or does pressing start secures that active rating ?

Oh and are you at some point putting the map you made a while back on fileshare ?

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.

you get it through playing the game
via Halopedia
In Halo: Reach, players will no longer be able to use Elites as their default player model in Matchmaking, likely for balancing reasons. Instead, Elites will be used in Matchmaking for the new Spartan-vs-Elite gametypes, and will still be able to use Elites in Custom Games, through a "Preferred Species" setting. Elite armor customization in Halo: Reach has been downgraded from Halo 3 to a complete model swap. Elite armor does not cost additional cR, but instead requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of Warrant Officer.
Or if you were talking about the Elite Officer permutations here
to save you from clicking

If your Elite Officer armor is not properly unlocked in game please redownload the content using the following steps:

1. Open the Guide
2. Go to the Settings Tab
3. Go to Account Management
4. Go to Download History
5. Select the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition Bonus Content
6. Select Download Again
7. Once the download is complete restart Halo: Reach

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

There is no way any of those people could give you a rating this quickly.

I've played it for 15 hours and I'm only halfway through campaign, and I've only played 8 matchmaking games...

These guys are missing a LOT... you deserve 11's across the board!

I am so not loving the fact that I need to login to view the nameplate page that's linked on the update. So it's not publicly viewable? Lame! Like many people maybe I want to view it from work where security policies won't allow me to login.

Already played through on Easy so I could check out the scenery, mind the sweet views & meander around without having to worry too much about the covvies. There were a few parts that got on my nerves & offered up a challenge which is odd for Easy. I'm halfway through re-playing it on Normal. Pretty cool game, I thought there were more items in the Armory but I guess I have to keep playing to unlock them.

Now I can run the gamut Reach, Halo, Halo 2, ODST, Halo 3. It would be cool to maybe see Harvest and what happened to the other 2 Halo rings but this is final game in the series. Where have I heard that before!?!

I got the game at midnight, posted on BNet, played from midnight to 7:00, went to school, and played after school until 6:00 and beat the campaign on heroic.

Multiplayer and firefight I haven't played yet, but it should be good and I'll edit my response in.

The story was just incredible. On par with Halo: CE including all the nostalgia. Taken objectively from the nostalgia point of view (but still subjectively overall), it far every single aspect about Halo 1 and Halo 3. It started out really boring, but I guess they had to put in the tutorial level, and then it got epic quickly and sharply in the last couple of missions. The pelican bomb was also a really emotional thing showing it really was humanity's last hope and it was their time to give it everything they had in their arsenal.

The sound was epic. The sound effects were 10 times better than Halo 3, and although this sounds like a tiny thing, it was so much better that I actually could notice the difference. The music started out in the game with me thinking, "this is good, but where is the rest of it". It quickly built up, with the best pieces exclusively on the last two levels. I think some of the previous games had better soundtracks, but this one was certainly not bad, and it was not just good, it was great!

The gameplay was incredible. The campaign was harder this time, and legendary will actually be a challenge, considering I got stuck a few times on Heroic. The length was much greater than the Halo 3 and two campaigns. They did the variety the way it should be. I mean, space battles just as good as games that are dedicated to those? And it didn't even hurt the core Halo gameplay, like what we feared from Bungie.

My only complaint was how they completely disregarded canon from the books in almost every possible way. The weapons and small things like that, they at least made the excuse that they were prototypes from Reach, but some stuff in the game directly contradicted the previous story. From the Pillar of Autumn being on Reach, to Halsey knowing about Spartan IIIs, to Cortana being an ancient forerunner item and not an AI constructed based on Halsey's brain. I can't blame them though, as for the majority of Halo players, and as a standalone story to come full circle, it does extremely well. For those who read all the book though, it was a slap in the face. I guess I'll just accept the revised ones when they come out. Apparently though, some people say that the journal that comes with the legendary edition explains all of this. I'm not trying to complain, but I'm just going to pretend the books don't exist and have my own personal story line.

This is an epic game!

It would be great if it were truly available everywhere, but here in Iraq, we are out of the fight. (So to speak) Until then, it's earplugs in, battlerattle on, wait for my turn in the drop ship to come.
