Never paid for my helmet :lol Won it in a halo 3 competition.Diablohead said:No matter how pretty the boxes look i'm going with a plain old regular copy, the halo 3 tin came with dents in it and shitty dvd holders, the cat helmet looks cool but it was expensive (cousin has it so i've seen and held it, even he thinks it was a waste in the end) and while that huge noble team figure is lovely, it's again expensive especially for me.
Regular copy will give me all the love and enjoyment I need, anyone with a flaming head will be my first target

I'm guilty of owning a statue worth about the same price as the Legendary box. It's a statue from the Berserk manga. My fiance gave it to me as a present (a relatively cheap one) - they can be very expensive.
There's a new one coming out and ever so slightly out of my price range Link - $821.
I'm not insane enough to buy these - but I sure as hell would would love to if I had that kind of disposable income.
The Reach Legendary statue in comparison is a bargain.

The dev commentary doesn't do anything for you?Letters said:
Dani's right about the value, as someone who has also bought some figurines.
Edit: Because the images were blocked at work, I'm only getting to see the OP now.
Awesome job m0dus.

I hope Arena has had some serious tweaking. Needed to be more Vanilla for me to enjoy. I'm also not a huge fan of being ranked based on individual skills in general. Oh well, we'll see.
edit: Pro pipe instead of sniper? Where's the sniper? The sniper maybe should be where the Plasma Launcher was. The plasma launcher as it was in the beta can't be taken serious in a competitive environment. I understand that it's a power weapon but that thing is just ridiculous.

I think there's a very good chance they will change things up based on what the community wants. If the population starts leaning towards a more vanilla approach, I imagine they'd be quick to pounce on it.
I agree though, Arena should be less about AA varieties.
Having some dude sprint towards you with a Hammer was never something I'd thought would be in the Arena.

I think it works well for team play in a way.
If you go in with 3 other friends and you play a lot of games together and do well, then over the playing session all of you should experience at least 3 good games a piece. (If the skill levels are relatively even).
And it will reward you based on individual skill when going in alone.
Just a thought.

I support the notion that the grenade launcher be officially re-titled 'Sonic Tube'. Anything is better than pro-pipe, makes me cringe everytime I hear it.

also, I'd rather just get the game for $50 or so. I don't really want another game than I can think of. idk.
Dani said:
How do you think they will gather the opinion of Arena fans?
I'm not sure if it's about the different Armor Abilities as much as it is about the weapons on the map. Hammer shouldn't exist in a competitive setting. That thing has the lunge of a sword, and has like, invincibility frames like in a fighting game lol. It's a joke weapon.
LeadbasedPaint said:
My beef with it was that you're being ranked individually in a Team gametype. There are things you just can't measure or calculate in a formula in a team game. I don't knock Bungie for it because I think overall for the general Reach population, Arena will be a success.
edit: I don't want to sound like I'm completely writing it off before I've dealt with the final version for a while.

Armor Lock needs to stay in Arena.
People who use it in melee situations only are assholes.
Using it to wait for teammates and to avoid grenade damage is pro.

Reading the thread for the first time... Damn, 12 pages already?? That's awesome. :lol
The OP is amazing, Ghal. Art is once again awesome, M0dus. I'm pretty sure I'll be reading the OP on a near-daily basis between now and September 14, haha.
Launch day plans: Wake up at 7am, get a quick breakfast + shower, meet my friend at Fred Meyer's at 8am, then rush home and play for an hour before he hast to go to work. I'm playing Campaign with him on Legendary, but his work schedule is crazy, so it'll take us about a week to get through it. :lol I'll have Firefight and Multiplayer to keep me entertained, though!
One week!

The Arena should offer:Tashi0106 said:
Slayer Classic: AR/pistol start, no AA abilities or Sprint AA as standard, two frag grenades, radar, fairly plain weapons on map.
Slayer Pro: DMR/pistol start, Sprint AA as standard, two frag greandes, no radar, only a selection of power weapons and DMRs on map.
Slayer Modern: mix of AR/pistol/DMR/other non-power weapon starts, mix of AAs, mix of grenades, radar, fairly plain weapons on map.
With the 'None of the Above' option just throwing up different combos of gametype and map.
Weapons that should never appear in the Arena: plasma launcher, sword, gravity hammer, spartan laser, fuel rod gun, target designator, etc. (i.e. everything overpowered or potentially inconsistent).
This is all assuming that MLG will have its own playlist, I guess.
Totally agree. Whenever I read or listen to Bungie designers talk about the game, they always sound so sensible and on top of things, they can always justify their thought process and decisions, and they seem to react very passionately one way or another to feedback and fan reactions (as we've already seen with the list of the changes from the beta).Tashi0106 said:
But the hammer and laser I just can't fathom. As far as I can work out, those weapons are just an elaborate practical joke at the expense of the playerbase.

It isn't. Honestly so what if they use the same textures. The map is all in the layout and the gameplay. These maps made in forgeworld will all play differently and be a freaking blast. Also we know that since Bungie is making them they will be on par with the quality of their other maps.
GhaleonEB said:
That's the problem. People who perceive the value of those maps to be any less are very very short sighted in my opinion. You can't say that there was any less time and effort put into those maps then others. They were not only designed and laid out, but also playtested just as much as any of Bungie's other maps included on that disc.

What if the gametypes offered to you were based on what division you were in? How sick would that be? '
Welcome to Onyx, from here on in it's DMR start only and magnum secondary. I would LOVE that. However, I know there are still "high level" Team Slayer players in Halo 3 that won't veto an AR start gametype. It wouldn't work for everyone.
I also think that MLG will get a set of maps and such up and running pretty quickly. I'm seriously worried about the quality however. They're beginning to use Reach at tournaments much earlier than they have with other Halo games. I would recommend that they use as many Halo 2 maps and settings as possible as those are proven to be stunning for competitive play.

So, looking at these pics, is the actual game case that comes with the Limited and Legendary versions black, and not green like normal 360 games? Does it at least have the normal cover art, on both the front and back? The Forza 3 Limited Edition had a black case, but it had shitty cover art, and nothing on the back. It looks really lame. Hopefully the Reach disc case color is the only thing different.LordAlu said:

Will there be any way for Guests to have any sort of custom armor? My friends have always been annoyed with having to be play old boring Spartans when playing split screen on Live and that will just be magnified in this one. Even if they just had whatever the main profile had unlocked it would be cool.
