No. He's talking about the upgrade it did to the 360. The Reach update is a whole different thing. So hopefully eventually those with it will get the update too.

Not really excited for the TU gameplay really. I don't know why but it's probably because of Gears 3. But if the gametypes are released at a decent time for euro folks and there are some customs to be played, maybe I'll get exited.

I was actually kinda hoping it was a fun gametype hidden as a gullibility test. bummer
I'm pretty sure this is new since I didn't notice them when I did my preorder...
Amazon now has Halo CEA available for preorder with 3 bonuses:
- $10 credit
- Master Chief Avatar Armor (I swear this was the only bonus at the time I preordered)
- Grunt Funeral Skull

Argh I'm jealous. The game is even cheaper if you pre-ordered Gears Of War 3 at Amazon.com.senador said:

The fake file in the fileshare thing reminded me of something that really annoying.
When checking the in-game File-Browser and browsing through the content, there's a vast mountain of shit. Like so.
Modded maps, crude Forge porn art, "chain mail", countless fake offers of unlocking helmets and achievements and even MS points. (Spent a few minutes and that's just a short list - the reality is that there's hundreds of times more of this kind of content on there).
It's been like this for a while it's a real blemish on the whole atmosphere that's been built up around official communities and official sites. I wonder if the moderation of such content (if it is more than automated) is going to improve going forward?
I remember the Bungie Favourites being hotly contested when folks didn't think the content was up to their own standards when various communities were features but at least it didn't present what Reach does.

Thank you for not being like the rest of these drones that will settle for any kind of garbage in this once amazing multiplayer franchise.kylej said:85% BLOOM CAN I GET A HELL YEAH BOYS WHOOOO. 15% DIFFERENCE BABY THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. REACH SAVED THANK YOU 343!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I'm pretty sure grunts funeral is going to be inside every CEA box at launch, regardless of where you order it from. This is how it's worded on amazon.BackdoorBeauty said:
This is in regards to the avatar armor and the grunt funeral skull. "The access code for the armor and skull will be packaged inside the game box. "
Edit: in regards to Kyle... I am with you, 85% bloom will not fix reach. I am holding out hope that 0% bloom gets it's own playlist.

343i have said from the start, there is only so much this TU is going to do. Rekindling a flame that wasn't there if you don't like Reach is one of those things.

LOL, I meant that Halo 3 only presented a very limited and pre-selected amount of moderated Community content through the game. With Reach, you have access to everything and the shit bubbles to the top very quickly, particularly with the scams and porn.

Grunt skull comes in all the first run. The 10 buck credit is new though. That right there is why I love Amazon. Preorders get the best deals like that. Since I had already preordered through them I automatically get the 10 buck credit now. Sweet!!
And dear god this Google plus shit is confusing. See what Halogaf has done. I feel dirty now joining this crap.

Actually, you can get all these things:Letters said:
NO BLOOM ELITE SLAYER (90% damage resistance, 125% shield regeneration and 200% health regeneration)=HALO 2/3 SLAYER.
Please Frankie, do eet!
It's not a problem per se, but it's a very important contributing factor to why Reach does not feel right when compared to previous Halo games. Well, I guess it is a problem. But not something that is extremely important to fix in another developers' game. They should just make sure it's right Halo 4, along with other movement/physics traits. They can add all they want afterwards, but the base game should feel like Halo, and Reach failed here with bloom and inertia.
