Awesome!  I guess they need quite a lot of time to make the millions upon millions of Halo Reach copies.

You're talking about building a civilization to stand the test of time, right?

lol, that is a different game of forever.

Oh.

September is the month when my life changes forever, I just have to decide which game will be doing the changing!

The sad thing about this is that we can expect Halo: Reach to be out on pirate sites in about a week or two

And my friend pirates pretty much every game so I'm going to be really uber pissed if he spoils shit for me.

Do pirated consoles work on Live anymore? Anyway most of the Halo experience is playing matchmaking online, which pirates cant do unless they want to make it extremely obvious that theyre pirates and get banned. Im desperate for online Firefight, couldnt do much of it on ODST as had few Halo-playing too few friends to do it with.

Yeah they still work on Live.  Even a lot that play early don't get banned.  My friend only got banned after playing MW2 early.  All the other games he played early and seemed to escape unscathed.  There may be another mass banning when Halo: Reach comes out, though, to get rid of more piraters

Can't wait to play the campaign. Please Bungie give me that epic campaign like Halo:CE.

Where are you people pre-ordering? I wanted to pre-order it at neweggs since it's $10 cheaper but gamestop seems to be the only one that guarantees that the Recon helmet and that extra Gamestop-exclusive will come with the game. =/ 

Tell him for a game like Halo Reach he should support Bungie's amazingness and but it instead of pirating it.
