Network Test 1 sounds friggin' amazing. And I dunno if I'm happy or sad to hear that the Splazer is back. And I really hope that in the full game Network Test 1 and Invasion are playable on more than one map. I hate games that make the most unique gametypes only available on one map.

From the GTTV thing last night, not my image by the way. :P

So Elites get some interesting loadouts, some of the names even sticking from Halo 2 (Ranger). I can't tell what that last Armor Ability is though, might be active camo.

Also, from what I saw, Invasion is my favorite gametype so far. Semi-Squad Spawns, Elites, Green Spartans only, Rank-colored Elites, Phantom drop-offs, Boneyard actually being inside of a Frigate at some points and thus being bigger than Sandtrap...

If I had Reach two weeks before anyone else, why would I be posting here and not be playing it for that timeframe? :P

Game editions:
Click!
While Legendary seems like a waste of money, I think that limited seems like a fair enough deal, so I'll probably be preordering that.

Also, MP Vidoc: Click!
A few things I saw: At 4:20, broken-off turret, Oddball skull is on fire, (may be a Bungie Joke, though) the Armor Lock doesn't last so long as to be the cheapest thing in the world, the Splazer appears to have a shorter charge time, or at least a less obvious laser pointer, and frags now have a visible trail effect. I no longer have any doubts that the 11 day wait will be worthwhile. Image
Could an admin embed the vid?

That's too bad, because you can't have the game- Jorge doesn't exist, remember?

I thought it was cool of Bungie to give out the flaming helmet (wasn't it a chest piece in Halo 3?) if you shelled out the 150.00 for the full-out Legendary Edition.

Are you referring to this or did I miss something? I thought that meant for Reach there was a special bonus Spartan armor effect.

Yeah, you get the Flaming Helmet in Reach only when you get the Legendary edition.
