It seems no one answered why. I'd like to know the best place to preorder.

Where are you going to preorder Halo 4 and why? If you're not preordering, where would you if you were?

why would only the gamestop one be for all?

I don't think you can get all of them unless you buy them from ebay or something.

Does anyone know if the preorder skins are limited to the armor shown in the preview, or if you can use them on any armor? For example, the Amazon preorder shows the Web skin for the CIO armor. Can you use it on other armor besides CIO?

Most preorder bonuses consists of a skin for an armor, but I'm not sure if the skin is exclusive to that store and the armor, or if it's normally available on everythign else. I hope it's not like that, because that takes the fun out of exclusives.

I've run into some confusion while discussing the preorder skins with some people. Each preorder skin is only available for one armor, but will the skin be able to be unlocked for other armors through normal gameplay? For example, I asked someone and they said that the Forest skin will be available for all, but if you want it on HAZOP, you have to preorder from GameStop. Is that true, because then it doesn't really seem like a bonus, more like a make up.

how do you participate in these?

How do some user created maps get used in Matchmaking? How do you submit it, or does Bungie check all the maps people make? That seems like a bit much.

how will they even tell who's playing. they don't have the right to say what you do on your xbox or in your life.

I'm hearing that 343 is planning major changes to the Reach engine in the new update. Before doing this, why not fix some of the small stuff, like: *Players shouldn't be able to kill each other at the same time through, say, a melee fight. If someone dies first, then they shouldn't be able to kill the other player. *If above isn't going to be fixed, then at least this. In Infection, if a human and a zombie kill each other, and the game registers that the zombie got the first kill, then the human shouldn't get a betrayal. *In Infection, a player shouldn't spawn as a starting zombie more than once. Why not have 4 starting zombies in a round? Then everyone will play as a human twice and a zombie once. *Active camo's radar glitchage shouldn't affect teammates. *Add playlist for Elite gametypes.

Bloom basically simulates recoil, which is in almost every single other shooter game. Or would you rather have it like the Halo 3 SMG and have the screen constantly move up?

In Infection, when a human and a zombie kill each other at the same time, there's a chance that the human will get a betrayal, and not only not get the point, but will also have a respawn delay.

I don't get why people think it's so annoying. If someone armor locks on you, just wait for them to run out of energy or walk away. Done.

what's the big deal with bloom anyways? It hasn't affected my play style since previous Halo games. I didn't even know that it actually affected accuracy; I thought it was just for show, and I still play fine. Pro tip: to reduce bloom, crouch when shooting.

seriously, how big of a deal is sword block? how often does it happen, and when it does, it's likely that the sword user can lunge again before the defender can shoot him to death.

Are there going to be new Namplates for 343 stuff?

if there wasn't a difference, they would have had elites and spartans in the same regular games.

Can we get a playlist for all gametypes for Elites? Nearly all gametypes are for Spartans, and the only way to play as an elite is to find a match of Elite Slayer or something, which is rare, or play Invasion, which some people don't like. Why can't we get an Elite playlist where we get popular gametypes like Infection or Slayer. As for infection, keep loadouts the same. I don't think people will care so much about Elites having shotguns and magnums. In past Halo games, Elite fans could use Elites in any multiplayer game, but in Reach, they really limited it.

If it's the most popular playlist, and the most popular map is Sword Base, then why would they change it?

It was a legit code that I found on the back of my CD case. It was working for a while, but re-locked within the hour. I activated it on the day that servers were transferred to 343 from Bungie (and everyone was a Recruit), so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Since 343 took over Halo Reach, did they also take over the Nameplate system? I'm having trouble unlocking the PC nameplate for Reach. I entered my product key and it was working but later it was locked again and my code doesn't work anymore, so can 343 help with this, because Bungie isn't answering my messages.
