Ok, Bungie i think you have satisfied alot of people with giving them recon and now it'll be like hayabusa OMG. But you never rewarded us elites. We want arbie armor. So please make it possible to at least get the arbie head in matchmaking.

Yeah. I'm back. Whatcha gonna do about it?

*ahem*

In a realistic stand-point... armor that was never meant for multiplayer cannot be added to multiplayer. Many threads like this have come and gone with the same answers and the same results. It won't happen.

In a story-line stand-point... The "Halo 3 Arbiter" was just meant to be a pawn of the Prophets. The armor is only given to those Elites who are going to be sent into suicidal missions and expected to never return. This is why in Halo 2, the Elite in charge of the Halo ring there was shamed and given the armor. The chamber was full of Arbiter armor, sure. However, in Halo 3 the Prophets are all dead and High Charity is destroyed. Therefore, the armor could not be replaced or salvaged. On top of that, you are playing an Elite soldier and not a shamed Elite of high rank.

This is why you do not have Arbiter Armor in Matchmaking.

Thats not it, Bungie just knows the so called "MLG" players are only aloud to play as Spartans because ether Elites suck or their to good (how ever you want to say it if you lose a match) So they knew only about 15% of players would dear play elite and face the hate of other gamers, so they said F-IT. Lets just put lots of work into making lots of kick-a armor for the spartans, and well we can't just remove elites, lets just slap some random armor on them and be done with it.

Personaly I think its really unfair. That would be like if in Gears there were 2 Locust and 8 humans, see what I'm saying? In a game were both characters play the same way and its just for looks, both characters should get the same amount of armor to make players of each happy.

Hello! I'm a male!

Lmao!!!! Elites are annoying. I'll say that i don't think they completly suck or do i think they r godly. In my opinion it depends on the playlist you're in. If you're in SWAT or STeam Snipers Elite cuz it's harder 2 get a headshot from the back! All other playlists just Use spartans cuz then if shotty pops up blam ur not headshotted from a longer distance than a body shot on a spartan.

You are trying to make a multiplayer argument from a storyline standpoint. Fail.

I agree, with you... that is a strong point as well.

However, this is something that needs to be decided at the beginning or the creation process, sadly. The only reason Recon and Flaming Helm are available is because they are already in the game, just incoded so that they are non-accessable.

I'm sure that more armor would be added if possible after all the hype for more Elite armor perms. Though, by the same token, Bungie is busy with two new projects now so it most likely wouldnt happen for some time even if they could add more armor sets.

But yeah, Spartan armor seems to be the most popular. Probably because we are humans and the protagonist has always been a Spartan. ^__^

But anyway, nice points. I'm sure that had something to do with Bungie's decision to not create more armor for our Elite Buddies in the creation of Halo 3.

Exactly. It would be ridiculous to have multiple Arbiters running around, Arbiter armour is unique, never replicated.

See it wouldn't make any sense.Its a special Campaign armor type.You can't get it in Multiplayer just like you can't get MC's Armor Color and stuff.They don't want you to embody one character THEY made.They want you to embody the character you have created and forged by the merit of your own skill.

Hello! I'm a male!

OMG people it's just an armor permutation! >.< does it really matter this much? I mean yea sure some armor permutation have there different flaws to others and the different character types the same things but hey it doesn't really change a thing! Like for instance tested by me and a group of friends if someone in hyabusa and someone in mark VI stand still shooting an assault rifle at each other starting at the same time until one dies the guy in mark VI always wins >.> woopty do! How many people literally just stand there shooting each other not moveing with assault rifles? >.> No1! so yea pointless flaw! Elites heads are down by there shoulders as a Spartans head stand on there shoulders but guess what from a side point that elite head is longer! so there you go the difference is made up for! easier to get a head shot on an elite from the side than a spartan >.> Spartan can get sniped from behind easier though .... An eye for an eye! I mean seriously guys? wth? Oh and also bungie themselves said they can't make new armor permutations >.> maybe they added some to the halo3 matchmaking disk that comes with ODST? W/e idc >.> Just armor! Doesn't really change the game play =/

  • 06.13.2009 12:01 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

It's obvious there was little effort put into Halo 3 Elites. We don't even get half the number of armor sets spartans do. Not to mention that many Elite armor sets look almost the same. (Flight and Assault for example)

The code they were talking about was the code of the cd but since they are putting all of halo3 matchmakeing onto a disk that comes with ODST they could add more armor Perms in that cd .... But there would still be code issues 4 between the Matchmaking Disk with ODST and the regular Halo3 cd matchmaking not having the code .... therefor they can't put any new armor permutations into the game

Hello! I'm a male!

There are 5 different Elite Complete armor sets ...... The spartans have 7 complete armor sets and a couple x-tra shoulders and heads so actually elites have like 5/8 of the armor that spartans have

Arbie armor..........................

  • 07.08.2009 9:57 AM PDT

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

I think it would have been cool to have Arbiter armor, but I also recall something about there not being able to have more than one Arbiter at any one time. That would be weird with multiple Arbiters in one game or on one team. I also don't know if that would be such a good idea because Arbiter armor would look strange in red or blue, much less the possibility of a pink or orange Arbiter in free for all.

Hey Guys.

Arbiter Armour just wouldn't work in Multiplayer.

Especially with your suggestion....

Just the helmet along with the other parts of Elite Permutations just would not work.


Think about the Colouring of the Helmet I mean come on....

A PINK Arbiter Helmet.

Also Bungie has Stated MANY times that its NOT possible to add new armour to Halo 3.
