Does anyone even read these?

I reckon that you will just be able to chose the armor, and it does say the armor is for multiplayer only, just to point that out to you guys.

Yeah i'd have to agree, i love the idea of the customization and mostly all of it rocks, but the spartan at the front of the picture with that helmet, i dunno it just reminds me of one of Voldo's costumes from Soul Caliber 2 *shudders* =P

Can't wait for these maps to come out tho =DD and the chopper looks amazing! Anyone have any idea if it'll be like a ghost where it has the option to boost? But who REALLY needs a boost when we're going at 75mph eh? ;o]

I read on IGN that the Chopper has indeed got a boost function. They actually go into a bit more detail over at IGN too.

Also LOL @ the guy who said that one helmet has a fivehead! *wipes tear away*
And yeah the other does remind me of boba fett. Pretty sweet!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

It says "Unlock", so I think that you will have to get a certain amount of ranking points or something for each type of armor...

Wicked awesome maps. I can't wait to tear up the new Zanzibar. I new suits are kinda weird though...kinda look like the ones from Splitter Cell: Double Agent on multiplayer.

I just Rox'rd my boxers! those maps look amazing, i cant wait to snipe fools running across camp froman haha. the epitaph map seems to much like desolation. not look wise, but about the same size and there is no cover at all, hopefully it will be good. The helmets, well, eek, i dont really like them, i kinda like the one in the background but the one in the front looks like -blam!-. I hope they dont end up making it so that they affect the gameplay cuz i have a feeling people are just gonna pick the same one and it may not be fair.... that brute chopper looks cool, but i dont get how it works haha.... bungie should maybe change the name of it tho cuz its kind of plain, its like calling the warthog, the spartan truck, or calling the banshee, the covenant airplane. I hope they change the name, maybe to like, i donno, the ferret, since it is fast... ive heard of the vehicle called the hornet that is unreleased, is that it or is the hornet the new flying vehicle?

Wow this does look amazing! I'm liking the new armour options. Will be nice to see if there is any new covenant armour e.g. arbiter armour for the elites, brute variations etc. I'm assuming seen as though there are brute choppers there will be brutes but i dunno.

I heard that the armor is unlocked in Campaign mode. I just wonder about a rumor that the armor has effect on your abilities such as the close-combat suit and the " Extra vehicular" activity one. Otherwise why would they name it that? This game is building up more and more to be the BEST EVER! Just imagine all the secrets that have yet to be released. Bungie only leaks what they want.....genius

sounds lke the armor is something you have to unlock
The maps are awsome and look so much better than the betas did, they actully look high-def
I hope they dont make it so that the new armor has different abillities than the regular, i like games that are based off skill, not "haha!! now im out off range of your gun because my suite makes me run faster!!"

I think the armor will all act the same otherwise it would be difficult to get the best one for the job b/c everything is constantly changing especially on large maps. I hope if we have to unlock the armor it will be easy and not some extremely difficult task. Of course it could be one reason they wanted us to play heroic first b/c maybe playing that will unlock it

I am pretty sure that the new armor will be unlocked as you beat the campaign story.

Or possibly as you advance in rank in multiplayer, unless that would be a problem for some people ; )

I think they mentioned something about the SPI armor in Gamepro's Halo 3 issue....That was the armor that the spartan III's had in Ghost of Onyx...
