Subject: [Question] Armor Permutations

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” - Ernest Hemingway

What kind of armor permutations can we expect to see in Reach? Will it include the classic Mark V along with the other old armors (Mark I, II, III, IV)? Will there be another perm like Recon?

Elaborate...

Too soon to tell but odds are there won't be another 'Recon' in a halo game because of the trouble the last one caused.

In the beta you'll probably just have standard modles of a Spartan and Elite (if there's another modle i'll be supprised) you might get lucky to have a 2nd armour for each.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Mark I and II needed some...cord thingy.

I don't think they will bother making an "award" armor like Recon again. People were just idiots and missed the entire point behind Recon.

Beyond that, who knows? It definitely will come back, it was very popular in Halo 3.

Probably all(or most) of the existing perms, along with Mk IV, more Elite perms maybe? No way to be sure.

Question, again...

Since the Elites didn't take reach, nor were they with the humans at this time, who says they will be in the game? Perhaps it will just be Spartans.

Where's the logic in no Elite's on Reach i'd like to see your proof before I belive that.

From what I know it's Elite's that took Reach and the Brute's didn't appear untill halo 2 after their first appearance on.. I think it was either Harvest or another planet.

Nah that's just a rip-off of Ryu's armour in Ninja Gaiden.

It also looks pretty terrible imo.

I'm going to assume that you meant multiplayer because then your post makes more sense.

Elites fought on Reach. They don't need to be with the humans, because campaign canon doesn't need to apply to multiplayer.

no. here's why :
Ryu Hayabusa is a ninja created by Team Ninja in the Game Dead or Alive (and Ninja Gaiden).

Team Ninja added a spartan in their last DoA game (her name is Nicole, I think) as a guest character, and in exchange, Bungie added DoA related stuff to halo (Hayabusa and his katana) to promote Ninja gaiden 2 that came out after H3.

TN is now dissolved, and the remains now work on the next Metroid game... sooo, hayabusa, ninja gaiden and DoA won't have ANY other sequels. and they can't make cross overs.
Bungie can't add hayabusa "because theyve done it in halo 3 already!!1111" because of copyrights. they were given the permission ONCE.

Fair enough I didn't know that and which DoA game was it? i've only played xbox one's but been considering getting one for my 360.

I still don't like the Spartan's hayabusa armour though.

That metroid game, do you have any info about it?

  • 10.22.2009 1:32 PM PDT

A beta hayabusa armor.

This armor ( I know its a rip off) was the one of the first beta mjolnir armor, before they get shields ( I read that ).

  • 10.22.2009 1:35 PM PDT

I'd still rather not see it + that guy up there gave the winning point. TN disbanded and bungie has no leagal ability to put the armour in Reach cause they can't get permission anymore.
