Do different armor pieces do anything?
Sep 14th
Many people are asking if the different pieces of armor that you can purchase in the armory in Halo Reach give you any special abilities. The answer is NO. Halo reach has an incredible amount of customization you can do to your character, however, none of these “armors” really do anything as far as abilities go. They only enhance the appearance of your character. Thats IT.
The different types of armors and customizations that can be selected in The Armory are..
- Helmet
- Left Shoulder
- Right Shoulder
- Chest
- Wrist
- Utility
- Visor Color
- Knee Guards
- Armor Effect
- Firefight Voice
- Emblem
- Colors

Halo Reach Beta is now working better
May 3rd
The Halo Reach Beta that came out today, certainly had problems when it first came out. But a lot of that now seems to be fixed, as i can get into games almost right away.
However, there still seems to be problems with the File Share function, used to upload videos and screen shots directly to Bungie’s website. I even saw Bungie.net disable logging in with your account for about 30 minutes, as i’m typing this, Bungie.net is fixed, but the File Share function within the game, is NOT.
I was hoping to get you guys some videos and pictures as soon as I could, but because of this problem there will be no videos until it is fixed, or high res images. I did however snap some pictures with my cell phone, and you can see all of those below with slight descriptions of what is happening in that scene.
My very first game, I got this kill about a minute into the match, called a Death From Above. You melee the enemy while falling on them, and that happens. You land on them, and snap their neck !
His head is almost backwards, lol.
Stay tuned for more Halo Reach Beta videos and pictures.

Halo Reach Beta – Already Experiencing Problems
May 3rd
Okay i’m not sure if this is only on my end, but I cannot connect to ANY games. And I have been trying for about an hour.
The beta lets you set all your customizations, like the helmet, armor, and other things. But once you enter Matchmaking, the game just sits there and does not find any servers. This is the screen it get’s stuck on for me.
At one point, it even said “The Halo Reach server is not available at this time. Please try again later.”
Sometimes it will also say that it is downloading a playlist, which can also take a while.
As you can tell by the picture above, there were 145, 977 when i took that picture (approximately 10 minutes ago). I am looking at the screen again now, and the user count is 151,320. It just jumped 5343 in under 10 minutes! And this is all within the past 2 or so hours that the beta has been out. So the user count went from 5,000 (the users who got it 2-3 days early) to over 150,000! That’s a huge number in such a short time, so these sort of errors are expected. Dont get too scared, they will be fixed soon.
If anybody else is having these problems, feel free to post and describe what you are experiencing.
