Yeah to do this I'm gonna have to bring my xbox up to my room, connect it to my high-def smaller TV, get the code, then bring it back down to play on Live again.

Ugh.

From your service record page, click your armor image to see the full-size version. Now add &vid=1 to the end of the URL in your browser's address bar and hit enter, and you can download a video (AVI) file of your Spartan seen from all angles. (This will only exist after you use the new text-code feature)

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

I just noticed something. When your player model updates, your last played updates as well.

What No7 said, and also the meaning of the in-game code that people have been wondering about for a year and a half.

@No7: yeah, it seemed fitting to let you show everyone that you're still around by updating the date.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Seeing as how it's stickied and still going strong, I'm assuming it's real.

Will there be a cutoff date for this, or any related features of it?

I can't do any of it, now, so i want to make sure it's not going to only be active for a limited time.

Anyways, can somone check to see if the b.net version displays the 4 diamonds correctly?

-
-
Or, try messing around with the urls to see if we can reverse engineer it kinda?

Like, has anybody tried messing with the 64 characters code to see if certain didgets corresponding to something, or instead of "&vid=1", trying "&vid=2"?

Perhaps we'd see more video angles, unusable in game emblem symbols/colors, or unusable armor/attachment combinations, like with the lone wolf spartans and the helmet/hologram glitch.

Note: While I very much doubt any of that would be against the rules,(seeing as how it would at most just allow us to generate certain emblems/player models by design, or at the least do nothing) if it is, please say so and I will remove that portion of this post.

EDIT: Nothing to be found, see post below.

- There is no planned cutoff date. We want to keep this as a living link to the game
- There are no easter eggs or features to be found in fiddling with the URL such as vid=2 or tinkering with the text code, which is encrypted and verified before rendering.

Kay. That saves me the time I would have spent looking for stuff :p

This is pretty cool! Its funny because I never noticed that code before on the network status page!

Out of curiosity anyone ever notice people trying to figure out what that code did before this reveal?

I tried googling it when I first noticed it, no luck, I remember a big topic on it a while back in the Reach forum, but people just gave up.

Works fine for me. You must entered the code incorrectly.

Nope, I tried over 12 times. I even checked all possible typos sawnose mentioned too.

Hypothetically, could you change the armor on the avatar if you properly changed that 64 digit code in just the right way?

Here's the scenario: One of my friends is an inheritor, and he has haunted helmet. He wears that helmet, and then gets the code. If he told me that code and I then used it, wouldn't my avatar have the Haunted Helmet then?

That would work, but your friend would have to be using the service tag specified on the page, at least I assume.
