Anyone who managed to nab an early retail copy of Halo: Reach will have to say goodbye to any in-game credits earned, as Bungie plan on resetting the credits when the game is officially released on September 14.

It's nothing personal; we just want to make sure the playing field is kept nice and level upon launch. It's only fair."

Sounds about right to me.
