I don't have the flaming helmet. But would it really be fair to make it available to everyone considering the people who got it payed a lot of money for it? Or Bungie could make it like 3,000,000 credits, since by the time people would get it, they would have payed for 150 dollars worth of xbox live gold memership, lol(ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but still).

This game makes me not want to go back to Call of Duty. It's so fun saving the good stuff you get, I got a collat headshot and a regular collateral (one headshot, one bodyshot on a previously injured bro) along with me getting Yoinked, a friend getting kicked, and the greatest reaction on Xbox I have ever heard in my life.

You can buy the code off of Ebay.. I see some bids for JUST the code for up to $150... Why didn't they just buy the Legendary Edition in the first place?

Also I love how people keep asking how to get it in game. And when they see my Officer Elite they're like "wtf is that? Why doesn't it show up in my armory?"

Because people are idiots.

I was wondering where my code was when I bought Legendary.

I looked through the book and everything, but it was paired up with the... What was it.. Month free for Gold?

Both codes are under that tear off part.

And how do you get the flaming helmets for the spartans and elites?
Bungie wont make Flaming available to everyone, the description for it when you download it and the fact that it's called Legendary in the armoury give that away. Plus they know they'd get major backlash if they did.

Also you assassinate someone with the sword by holding RB. I think only the Elites do big energy sword executions though, I don't think Spartans do but I'm not sure.

This game is just short of great, but there are so many little issues they really, REALLY need to work on.
A. They nerfed grenade power, but not range. Sure, they won't kill you in one hit now. But if you can see the nade, it'll hurt you. The hurt box is just way too huge.

B. One chance betrayals. Bungies ******** for this. Sure, if you betray, there should be some consequence. But 5 times now I've been booted on first friendly fire. And twice it was "I stick opponent, opponent runs into teams mate... BOOM. BETRAYAL. Sorry, you were booted." FUUUUUUUUU

C. Swat in team slayer. Stupid as hell. There really needs to be a separate playlist.

D. Armor lock is the gayest thing since rainbows. It either needs to lose the shield draining effect, or they ability to heal during it.

E. Needs an actual ranking. I'm tired of getting paired up with pros vs me and little tommy two year old.

F. Connection bs. Ex. 8 ppl go into teams. Connection lags BEFORE teams are picked. Two people drop. So you think it'd be 3v3 right? No. 2v4. Snipers. Kthxbai.

Huh, I tend to shoot armor locking ppl a bit in case they prematurely stop armor lock, but never thought of shooting them to prevent shield regeneration. You sure it stops it?

1. Why are you standing so close so you get hit by the EMP?

2. Shoot them a few times while they're in Armor Lock, it resets the regen timer.

Someone needs to test this.

Not only that, but how do they know the code that they are buying off of ebay isn't fake?
Because you can just file a report with eBay if it's fake?

You don't get a free month of gold. I got a 48 hour code with my copy. Microsoft is cheap.

Other games just give legendary/prestige edition buyers early access to all the cool stuff.

Thanks.

You heal when you use the armour lock? Not in campaign mode.

Ah yeah other games do but Bungie has never giving away anything that they said was exclusive to something.

Like SRG Johnson in ODST for example. The only reason they could give away Recon is because they never claimed it to be exclusive to anything.

It doesn't matter when you go to beat them down, they tap the LB, and screw you. They don't even have to be in the crouching position. As soon as their finger hits that button, their immune. Its stupid as hell.

Well, he should have been free since it was an unlock code anyways. Same thing goes for unlock Recon in Reach: Unlock code.

I have regenerated shields when using armor lock in campaign mode.
Not me, it freezes your shields/health when I use it. Oh well.

Wish I could theater it but its on my mates Xbox.

I noticed that when you use armour lock you still take damage, just less, and I remember hearing someone on Bungie forums mentioning they died in armour lock when someone hit them with a sword so I went to try it out and it worked.

If it fell beforehand I would've been EMP'd and knocked backwards but that never happened.

I'd be fine with Standoff, The Pit and Valhalla, those were my 3 favorites.

I'm making it my goal to get Grunt Birthday by Saturday. I'm at 160,000 now, so wish me luck.

Turns Out Modern Warfare 2 Was More Popular Than Reach In Its Launch Week

http://kotaku.com/5646439/turns-out-modern-warfare-2-was-more-popular-than-reach-in-its-launch-week

Yesterday, Xbox Live community guru Larry Hryb - Major Nelson to most folks - published the weekly list of the 20 most popular titles (according to unique users) on Xbox Live, showing Halo: Reach at No. 1. Today, the Major discovered he'd made a maths goof and corrected the list: Modern Warfare 2 was in fact the most popular game during Reach's launch.

Hyrb notes that Halo: Reach, which released on Sept. 14, was available only six of the week's seven days. However, Halo 3 was in third place.
And, "our sources tell us that we've been the number one title on Xbox Live for the last seven days."
Surprising, but I bet that with that extra day, Reach might have overtaken MW2 as the most played game on XBL. Oh well.

Description of said reaction and what caused it?
I'm a bit late, but here's the story. I was playing my friends, Jeremy and Daniel. Daniel only recently bought the game and was never big on Halo, he still likes it and he's good. It was Boardwalk, by the two staircases in a game of Team DMRs, I think. He got the Plasma Launcher, I was in the middle of an assassination and he launches a shot and it kills not only me, but the enemy. I was yoinked by Daniel and Jeremy 5 times earlier that day and said I swear to god if that happens again. It gave me the boot option, I kicked him instantly. He proceeded to scream about as loud as a couch that just won the Super Bowl "ALEX YOU ****HEAD WHY THE **** DID YOU KICK ME?" Not 5 seconds after that happened, he kicked me from the party and I join back immediately and hear him saying "AUTGHHGHGHHHH!!11"

Best moment of my life. If anyone wants, I have the yoink on my file share.

Banjo and I also had discussion of the year. Gruntpocalypse really is amazing, I averaged 1,400+ cR every game. I'm like, 18,000 away from my dear GBP armor effect.
