Well, I'd rather have that greenie over my head than Recon helmet 2.0. Think of how many people in Mac/PC/CE who still actually have their freaking original cd keys from 2003 up until May and have also used them to go online. Now consider how many will be getting Reach and how many will actually know that the key will do them anything special.

I think in the expanse that will be Reach's online user base, the people who not only have this new flair but also use it will be really small. It won't turn into another Recon either because it wouldn't make sense for Bungie to just start handing it out as awards when it is specifically for H1PC players.

They're flooding the market with tons of unique visual flairs, each of which can only be obtained from one specific source. It should lessen the blow people saw with the Recon craze as we go into Reach. Of course, you'll always have whiny little fucks saying "gimme <X>" when the signs clearly said you had to buy <A> in order to get <X>.

See, I'm probably not going to use 90% of my special goodies.
I may use my flaming helmet, my GameStop grenade belt, my green triangle, and (if it doesn't override the greenie) my special "You played Halo 2 on the last day!" flair.
Other than that, I'm just going to go with what looks cool. Right now, I'm leaning towards that Stormtrooper-ish looking helmet. And Sargent Stacker in Firefight. Hell yes.

I played both Halo PC and Halo 2 Xbox. I have EVERYTHING.

I think I might just get Reach for this little reward.

It makes it so when you get hit, there is a loud DING like in HPC.

What's a "visual flair"?

Man, that would be too awesome...I really miss that from Halo PC, and if they had that as an option for Reach, then life would be amazing.

The reward is a small "visual flair", as was described during the last days of Halo 2 for players of that game. Not armor or anything in the Armory. We realize that some people have lost their keys or never played online to validate their key, and unfortunately we can't do anything about that. If that's you, you're not missing out on something like Recon or Flames, it's just a little indication that people have been part of a certain Halo community for a while, and we wanted to give them a nod.

So it's not Recon or anything armor-related, you can stop whining now..

I wouldn't mind a green triangle at all. I would feel a bit....of uniqueness about it.
