Subject: NEW SPECIAL ARMOR?

Okay so I was thinking how awesome Halo: ODST is going to be and then they said you would get a new disc, alright cool. But why? Well there are two reasons I could think of first reason is adding value to the ODST pack, In other words making there profit larger, which is completly understandable, but the other reason is?
After Bungie said Halo fans could finnaly get there hands on the long awaited Recon armor variant they probley thought, but how will we reward people who do good for community or kick our ass in Bungie VS World (Note: Bungie actually kicked the worlds ass) well a NEW armor variant of course. In Early posts i remember reading that Bungie could'nt add new armor because it was on the Halo 3 disc, but after realeasing a new online disc with ODST they could probley add new armor variants. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED THIS IS ALL JUST THEORY

No. The ODST disc is compatible with the Halo 3 disc in every way, so this is all impossible.

post a link that says that then i will bealive you

there are two discs the campaign and the halo 3 online disc that comes with it and it is not the same if there are new maps
seriously i dont know how you would know if they couldnt add new armor to a DIF disc even if its compatible

and plus bungie got tired of all the people bothering them about challenges and begging for recon
this is why they are doing the recon [vidmaster] achevements so every one can earn it
so i doubt they would make a new armour and do the same thing they were doing with recon

was the quote on first post really needed? i mean... seriously? i agree with what u say cept don't u mean "incompatible?"

  • 07.28.2009 1:14 AM PDT

People are going to bug Bungie no matter what new armor or not so I dont think that would be why

  • 07.28.2009 1:20 AM PDT

i could be very wrong but i thought i read it in a weekly update.
but yea every one would still be buggging bungie

I really want to know because im pretty sure people will be posting fake armors anyways

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Wait for the game.

But even if they do include a new armor set, then it won't be on the Matchmaking disc.

I heard from a friend that says he got a bit of inside info that because recon has already been disrubuted alot (lots of people have it) and more are due to get it they are going to make a new goal to achieve like a new armour and apparently there gonna call it Ranger or sumin im not sure though he may of made it all up

Dude, if they did this the people with the regular halo 3 disc wouldnt be able to see the new armor. So... no.

Exactly, plus Bungie have already said they will not be introducing anymore armour varients.

How I got Recon.

Bungie has stated in the past that not only are there no plans for new armor varients but it's also impossible to add new variants due to them being on the disc. So ultimately, no.

they will still have the flaming head (flaming head is not part of recon)

The flaming head is for Bungie Employees (and Nathan) only.
