Why do you click that arrow?

I can see armor as disc locked content. But a whole map? I think it's downloaded. We'll see in download history once we get it. We can see which maps were disc locked or downloaded.

i think its safe to assume the new DLC may be coming with hidden armour keys, thus unlocking more stuff for our cR.

So, Bungie lied to us. Again. No surprise there.

They might not have lied, I think they quoted that they would not be adding any new armor to Halo Reach, this might have been on the disc all along

I dont know if its true but one of my mates is old enough for a job of some sort(btw forgot how old) and he said he workes for bungie SOMEHOW ( but i dont completly belive him) and he was awarded some sort of special helmet for reach and he said it costs 3 million cr!

EOD with a saiyan power scanner??

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

This looks promising.

I hope you're right, and nice find!

Halo Reach Stats <-- File Share vids = Epic Fail

that helmet is definitely a derivitive of the GUNGNIR and EOD helmets.

Also, it is quite possible that the helmet shown is in the game's coding. it was only locked as were the ranks above lt. colonel late last year after the release. all they have to do is unlock it for the community to buy. i saw in an earlier post that is is available at mythic. this means it is shown in the armory (but locked) at legend. im not sure about this.

what is also possible is that bungie has additional locked armor (doesn't have to be helmets) that are still locked and may be released at a later date. I think they do this whole locked and later unlocked process to promote the game and keep people playing it so that they can buy new, released armor when it comes out. it kind of keeps the suspense in the game and the players. its a good tactic but apparantly not too efficient considering the drastic drop in reach players from millions to now somewhere between 500-300 thousand, possibly lower.

one more thing OT. do you know the rank of this person with the helmet. judging by the type of shoulders and chest he is using, he doesn't look like a very high rank. they are "newbie" armor pieces. he could be a hacker. just a thought.

It is not a hacker, It's an official pic released by Bungie showing off the new maps.

Rush in where Angels fear to tread...

the thing about 'armor can't be added because of how it is coded' is a bunch of BS anyway, the code can always be altered/added to. My guess is that special content (new helmets/armor/etc) that will come with map packs will only be available when playing online and will default to base armor when playing offline (much as when you have a flaming helmet and play on an XBOX without the code installed it defaults to no armor effect).

I hope they also add some more elite armors. I would love to see arbiter armor, maybe along with some halo 3 elite armors returning. Maybe they could rewrite the code about elite armor to allow you to mix and match helmets, shoulders, chests, legs, etc...

cool, looks like Scout + Gungir (Spelling?)

When you have honest researched opinions, you get banned from Bnet alot...

Bungie obviously kept things like this a secret.

Its like what they did with Recon preparing for ODST...

It might be a new attachment for the EOD helmet. Same with the Noble map pack cover with the new attachment for the Operator helmet. But i guess we'll never get it. Unless there is a special way to get it.

OP, could we please have a timestamp on that? (I'm assuming this is from the DMP trailer?)
