Also, in the post-game carnage report, when you look at individual medals, it tells you what medals you earned but not how many. Is there any way that you could include the number of times you were awarded each individual medal. I like to know how many Snipe medals I got, or how many Sticks I had. I just don't understand why it doesnt show that.

armor ability's for bumper jumper controls should be swichted with the Zoom button to the X button to make it able to use jetpack! i guess
absolutely true i use bumper jumper and i cant use the jet pack because of it. it's strange the fact that the default is more ergonomic than the advanced control styles. in halo 3 bumper jumper worked because it allowed you to jump and aim at the same time but, with the new reach armor abilities it does not function in the same way, the jump is lower and less important, also the abilities require the button to be held instead of the press X and you drop a bubble of safety. this is really inconvenient especially with the jet pack because you can no longer aim there for ensuring your death.

basically if your going to include bumper jumper with the iron wings the ability activation needs to be shifted.

I think you should get more reward points by performance, i.e. if you carry the flag the entire way as opposed to the guy who just picked it up after not covering you and scored it. I guess I'm thinking it'd be better if they just had a better way of distributing points in a team game. I agree with an earlier post about 3 flag caps = 3x reward points, 30 kills = 30 extra points.

- A lot of the time, when I move up to the next level of a commendation in a game, it always shows the image for the "Technician" commendation. For example, I got the first level of the "Mobile Asset" commendation, but it showed the Perfection-style logo for Technician instead.

You don't get enough credits when you pwned everyone, you mostly only get them when you get commendation. Some accolades don't even get you allot anyway, I ran around got a killing spree a couple times and it seems there isn't a commendation when you beat someone down, also I think you should get more on assassinations.

The armory is awesome, although I want to keep my armor colors whenever I possibly can. Sorta makes us unique, besides I can't imagine people are going to be making too big of a deal out of what color people are because of the benefits of being pure black in a dark hallway. During an SvE match it will at least help against the Elites roll ability, not to mention increased health and speed.

I also want to see a dramatic difference in the sprint when you use some special armor for it, because that's the only reason I don't use it.

--First off, I'm sure you're going to offer greater variety when the complete game comes out. So I won't even talk about that. What does worry me is the fact that there's no other areas to customize than what was in Halo 3. I think there should be more armor areas to choose from.

--Second, the credit system seems like a forced addition to keep up with the Call of Duty evolution. Personally, I loved the Halo 3 system where multiplayer armor was unlocked through in game achievements. The credit system offers a little more satisfaction after each and every game, but it doesn't come close to that amazing, "I just unlocked Katana!" feeling. At the very least, you should add armor variants that can only be unlocked through achievements.

--Third, I know that this might be a big fix, but I think that each piece of armor unlocked should have some kind of in game effect. For instance, the airborne pauldrons should offer greater flight speed, or the scout chest piece should offer extended active camouflage. You can spend all the time you want trying to unlock that "next piece," but in the end, it's all cosmetic. I think that will greatly hinder the multipayer longevity.

--Fourth, again, I know this might be a big fix, but weapon attachments would be a welcome addition. In my book, the more customization options you add, the better. Within reason of course. But trying different combinations of weapon attachments is something that has occupied much of my time in different FPS's on Xbox Live. Having the option to customize the weapons we all know and love would add a great element of strategy to the mix that I think is lacking at the moment.

--In conclusion, I think the armory/credit system is pretty good. But it's not the in-depth customization wonderland I was hoping for. With the missing elements I described above, I fear that the armory in it's current state will ultimately leave gamers bored. I mean, choosing colors is great, but after coming back to steel-on-green for the fourth time, one can't help wanting more "effective" options. I still think Halo is an epic gaming masterpiece. But with the recent proven multiplayer customization trees, Halo: Reach fails to surpass nay, meet the bar set by the CoD, Crysis, and Battlefield franchises.

The whole armory/credits is very useless to me, they have no effect on gameplay they are just there for show. To me it just a bad idea and should be scrapped. You should leave more room on the DVD for graphics instead of this piece of crap. Who really cares if you can get a MARK V(b) shoulder pad if it wont do anything. I know that its trying to keep the game interesting by gain points for new items but when those points go for something useless then it just makes this part of the game like a thrown uncreative thought. I'm going to start throwing a game (MW2) which I became very fond of because it of that ranking system. Of-course you will all know that when you level up you get better weapons on MW2. That simple process kept the game interesting. Although people leveled up in MW2 for some reason the game was still balanced. But the way the Halo franchised is set up I know that a system such as that would not be viable. I just saying if you are going to keep the armory/credits do it for a game changing experience and not just for a crappy add-on.

SO MUCH STUFF TO SAY. CREDITS SHOULD BE USED TO PURCHASE THINGS OTHER THAN ARMOR.
I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO SEE MY SPARTAN HOLDIN' A SHOTGUN OR A SNIPER IN THE LOBBY.
I HOPED I EXPLAINED THAT CLEARLY, IF I DIDNT, SOMEONE ELSE PROBLY DID

ARMORY, CREDITS, COMMENDATIONS, & GRADE

Everything is satisfactory, though I see no harm in offering users more full control over customization . . . there is a lack of Covenant themes or variations. I suggest users be able to choose their faction (UNSC or Covenant) and thereby alter all text dialogue accordingly (ex. REPOSITORY, UNITS, HONORS, & RANK). I also recommend a separate but equal Covenant ranking system.

Hopefully we can customize out elites. I hope they have really cool gear, like in campaign different elites have different armor, color, rank so they have a lot of options.
