I was playing Halo Reach the other day and got matched up with some randoms that did terrible and hogged the rockets. That's beside the point but all 3 of them had that flaming head thing on, with 2 blue and one orange. I was concerned and got out my phone to call an ambulance for the poor fellows, but then I heard them start talking:

"Hey this faggot, 2Class, keeps fucking betraying me, man, what should we do?"

Completely normal, prepubescent tone of voice with a slight cracking in 'faggot'. Not panicked or loud or excited like I would have expected if their heads were actually on fire. It was the strangest thing, and I didn't really understand it at all, so I asked them: "Hey, why are you wearing that flaming head effect if your heads aren't on fire in real life?"

And then they're all: "Because it looks cool you Azula-loving panzy."

But I'm still completely baffled, so I'm posting this here hoping someone can help me out and allow me to understand the real reason this is happening, because the mere "it looks cool" excuse doesn't seem good enough to me. There must be something more deep as to why they want to wear a flaming helmet.

Any explanations?

blue flames were a preorder bonus for Halo: Reach, but I think eventually they were given to everyone by 343. Or.....was it the orange flames? REGARDLESS the flames were kinda handed out.

But why do people wear flaming heads when they don't have flaming heads IRL?

because people lie in the real world, sadly enough

You can tell if they're shit-tier fags if they have blue flames.

You can tell if they're god-tier badasses if they have red flames.

I'm a massive shit tier fag.

>Didn't have either.

Yeah well I didn't want them anyway!

Nobody plays Reach anymore, kill yourself OP.

I really hope you're joking because none of that is right.

Blue flames were given out by Bungie as a sort of parting gift in 2011.
Orange flames came with the legendary edition of Reach. Only preorder bonus I can remember was Recon armor and a chest piece.

Blue used to be for Bungie Employees only, then it got given away. Orange is if you either pre-ordered or bought the Legendary edition.

I DID mention that I was unsure which color flames came with the game itself. Pre-order, Legendary Edition, almost the same thing.

I doubt this is really important enough for me to go to such lengths........but oh well too late.
