[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;24975071]That is very true...Also, if the default is steel, why did mine start out as brown? Does the game start you off with a random color, like red, blue, or yellow as well? Sorry for wasting your time with my pointless nagging, by the way. :v:[/QUOTE] actually its quite interesting you said brown as the starting color because it did the same thing with me
[QUOTE=texanderson;24975097]actually its quite interesting you said brown as the starting color because it did the same thing with me[/QUOTE] Maybe that's just a VERY big coincidence. I hope someone else can post their starting armor color, so we can solve this silly "mystery". Did Bungie ever specifically say that steel is the starter?

[QUOTE=texanderson;24975165]i dont think so guess everyone took steel as the starting color because of all the trailer's and pre-release pics for reach[/QUOTE] Okay, I did some digging, and I looked at [url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=28594]this[/url] again on Bungie.net. It's an article about setting up your character. In it, the starting color is red. This is confusing...
[QUOTE=usaokay;24975206]So where are the rest of the stuff that were shown in this video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK1sxKKZWo0[/media] Do they unlock after a certain level or something? Cause I checked my strategy guide and it doesn't show the Mark V helmet (or anything else that isn't in the final product as of now.)[/QUOTE] i have a link to the halopedia armor page if you need ot [URL="http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_Permutations"]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_Permutations[/URL] helps when your trying to find armor for halo 3 or halo reach
actually it might be a good idea to add a link to the halopedia armor page so people can actually have an easier time finding or getting what they need next halo thread maybe?
AW NUTS. The armor color mystery is AGAIN more confusing. In addition to the Bungie.net thing I posted, I just remembered: in the Beta, your starter color was...guess what? Steel. Ugh, my brain hurts.
[IMG]http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/playermodel.ashx?rpis=ixSShvuZBByO4OtF2eOg5w%3d%3d[/IMG] ODST Armor in Reach. I think it's pretty cool, but I'll have to buy the shoulders when I get to Captain.
[QUOTE=texanderson;24974347]here's a pic of all or most of the armor for reach [URL="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100918222637/halo/images/e/e5/SBgJn.jpg"]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100918222637/halo/images/e/e5/SBgJn.jpg[/URL][/QUOTE] It's already in the OP [editline]11:37AM[/editline] [QUOTE=johnlmonkey;24974715]Repost for new page, also, anyone else wearing odst armour? I recently got a blue visor for my spartan and now he looks like a full blown odst, I really like it![/QUOTE] ODSTs have silver visors though [QUOTE=Agoat;24974610]Which Firefight voice should I get? Auntie Dot (AI) or Buck (ODST)?[/QUOTE] I got Jun, it's odd how he has the best / most lines. Emile [i]should[/i] be interesting but he doesn't say anything.

Well, at least by then I'll have enough cR.
Reach has regained my confidence in the Halo games. I'll admit, I didn't like H2 very much, and I only bought H3 to play through the campaign once, but I'm a fuckin' sucker for Reach.

Went from Captain to Captain Grade 2 in one day. :) I need a life or a job.

I had a pretty fun time playing team swat for a couple hours the other day. It's intense trying to line up that headshot before the other guy does.

I fucking love it but I'm sure if I played LAN I would fucking love it more.

With an unlimited rocket and invulnerability. It's all because the [b]custom[/b] skulls you can attach to the game mode. So basically you can make yourself superman.

They die in like three shots.
Finally got "If they came to hear me beg", it was an epic achievement. I did it at the start of [sp] The Pillar of Autumn [/sp] and [sp] jumped off the cliff at the start to nail the elite below [/sp]

Using a gamepad and having autoaim makes the precision requirement laughable at best. It feels like it was implemented purely because someone thought it would be a good idea, without much testing. I didn't even know it was in Halo 3. But now I have to play it an it is annoying. Also yes because for some fucktarded reason it is mixed with real game modes like Team Slayer and Elite Slayer.

It was made for Halo 2, was very popular, got it's own playlist in H3, and will get it's own playlist in H:R. [editline]12:51PM[/editline] [sp]Alright, I've made it my goal to survive Lone Wolf on Heroic for the duration of "Libera Me" From Hell (the song). I tried earlier, but I died halfway.[/sp]
A lot of "very popular" things are also really bad. Sorry, I am just frustrated that in a game with an already pathetically low skill cap I am forced to play Easy Mode because Xbox Live players think aiming is hard. But nice work putting words in my mouth. Let baddies have their Swat, just GTFO of my Slayer/BTB lobbies.
I agree, it shouldn't be on Team Slayer, but you're in no position to tell people how to play their game.
Good thing I didn't.
[QUOTE=Agoat;24973525][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS-8zKtFElU[/media] Be sure to let the clan know how bad they are! (they'll see this video) ~processing~[/QUOTE] You sir, are an honor to this thread.

They're competing with CoD. Not that I'm gonna buy any more of them.
[QUOTE=CaMpEr_DoOd;24971446]:v: [editline]02:42AM[/editline] No you can't, stop lying. [editline]02:43AM[/editline] The enemy only spawn up so fast and even with hunters/elites, you don't rack up a fast enough score.[/QUOTE] Custom firefight idiot. I've done it in 10-15 minutes. Legendary difficulty with invincibility on with nothing but the highest level elites. I got 700,000 points during the bonus round and only the bonus round then i got the rest on set 2.
Tried fighting heretic elites in firefight again. They made me their bitch....again.
