I was just reading some Halopedia pages on armour permutations, and it said:

"There was originally going to be an Arbiter Armor Permutation in Halo 3, but it was taken out before the game's release. Bungie, however, did not explain why. Many fans expected it to be released as DLC, but due to the nature of the game that would be impossible".

Just curious, anyone know the technical reason for this? What makes it impossible to add Campaign DLC?

Only post if you know. Thanks!

Actually they didn't take it out. There is a huge glitch or lag or mod that gives you the armor temperarily.

You must be an elite.

You must be at three player co-op.

And you must be the arbiter on the mission.

Only after mission is done will you get arbiter armor.

But it only works in custom games and it will dissapear after the game.

The same thing that made it impossible for bungie to put campagin dlc for halo 2 (they were gonna but they couldn't).
I only know why it was impossible to put armour dlc, becasue all the armours were in the CD.

See Bungie had its limits so they couldn't add the armor because they had already filled up their armor pile. Plus in the campaign it said that the arbiter was at an alinense with humanity as said in Halo 2 and on waypoint. after the battle was over the elites made peace with the humans but not during the battle.

I'll do some looking around, but I don't think it's specific to campaign. With the exception of maps, there is no additional content added to Halo 3 for either campaign OR matchmaking (for example, recon armor is already incorporated in Halo, it just has to be unlocked.)

EDIT: I Searchbar'd, and almost immediately came up with this, which seems to be the thread you want to look at for answers.
