The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.

You've got to admit, 100 pages in 3 days. That's frikking impressive, that deserves recognition.
Yep. And we even made it without excessive bumpers or TOO MUCH off-topicness. Now back to the helmet, who thinks it's a spotter or spy helmet? Hell, with an external lens like that, it might be a medic helmet to assist in locating wounded who can't walk or run.

But I think it's a spotter variant.

GO RED WINGS!
Imported From Detroit

They better for some reason I couldnt stop reading everyones "explanations" Looks pretty sweet. I remember one guy qouted A bungie dude saying it would take 9gb of space to put new armor in the game. Wouldnt that mean it took that much for current armor? Which would be impossible considering the xbox still uses DVD's that hold 7-8gb

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

It has been made official to the fact that there CANNOT BE any dlc for armor. This idea of a new helmet is not possible. You cannot add to what is already on the disc. You cannot add to what is already programmed into the game.

Maps are one thing.

Armor is not.

If you do not belive it then look / at / the / ovbious.

Not in a simple patch or update. Each map file in the game has all the content embedded in it. If we were to create new armor, it would either only be available in any new maps that get made after that point, or we would have to send out new map files of all the mulipler and singleplayer maps and require about 9 GB of HD storage. This is economically not feasible.


I do not know why people say more armor or helmets when its clear to everyone that a bungie employee said no to added armor.


If you want to fight this then you can ask otto and the rest of the bungie employee's.

For anyone who says that hackers could not hack the dlc chest plate and flame for the legendary editions its cause they dont have the DLC coding. The dlc is coded to the disc to unlock the stuff that is already on the disc. Same as recon was for halo 3 but with a code that only can be activated with the dlc item in an active save device.

Why has this thread gone for this long? The rumors are busted so someone needs to lock it since its been snuffed out.

I'd be so happy if they addressed it in the update tomorrow

Otto isn't a reliable source, he's been wrong too many times before.

  • 02.17.2011 8:37 PM PDT

while this helmet doesn't particularly interest me aesthetically, the fact that there is probably going to be more than one new one does. I'm hoping there's more stuff that I'll like.

I'm far too busy being delicious!

As usual this may be a photoshopped pic, but if it IS real then I could honestly care less either way. It looks okay, but not that great. Mabye it will come with several new armor perms. Well great job man, good detective skills :D +1

I could say it's not photoshopped but then I would be wasting my breath

You can do editing to pics taken from vids, as well as editing to videos. And also I also should have stated that it also could have been (in the case of the FULL official video) a glitch or small visual bug causing an already placed and known armor (such as the Gungnir) to appear to be something new and exciting, especially since it would take ALOT of work to add new Armor Perms to a game like Halo, due to the engine it runs on. I ALSO said that if it IS completely true then it would be great, but it didnt look like anything special, unless there are several new perms. SO BEFORE you start shooting your mouth like a jackass please read the posts, troll.

Thank you all for your consideration in my awesomeness :D
