When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

While looking through the conceptual art for Reach, I found THIS.

Take a look at the helmet in the middle in the bottom row. It looks a little like our mystery helmet...


That third one and that last one...OH MY GOD THOSE HAVE TO BE IN THE GAME!!!


Ha ha1 Yes, that helm is cool. I do think the one next to it is our mystery helmet, or at least the "Base" version of it. It even has that little lens in the upper corner.

I already speculated that the helmet that we saw was a perm of another base helmet...And if you added a monocle thingy to that helmet then that's basically it.....You sir get one interwebs cookie for finding something we didn't even know existed. (::)


Exactly what i thought. The helmet looks a lot like it, minus the monocle and the EOD side breather thingys.

After so much searching we finnaly have some news :D


Well, if anything, we have some sort of evidence that it was a concept model, at the very least. How it ended up in that pic, and whether it's in the game, and we can wear it, is a completely different matter. I hope it is, along with the last one.

Looks like an illegitimate child between EOD & GUNGNIR

Witch you can buy for 400,000 cR when you reach the rank of Mythic.


You mean this?
It's not the same
or maybe its that helmet without that box thingy visor ( removed the box and put in a visor)

I can't believe that some people still think it's GUNGNIR or EOD. These people need to get their eyes tested.

I think it looks like the helmet in the bottom middle, with elements from EOD and a monocle.

I think it looks like concept art for the Commando helmet. But i kinda agree, it does look like the new one.

Awesome find. This changes a few things. The first being that this helmet was conceived in pre-production. The second being that Bungie must know what it is, so we shouldn't count out any statement from them.

I'd sort of like that too, but the thing is, considerable evidence has been put forward as to why Bungie can't add to things already on the disc other than map variants. I have no idea how it works though, so here's hoping :)
Posted by: Desicator616
I would love that so much, just to prove all the people who said it impossible wrong |:)


Considerable evidence has been put forward to refute that argument that DLC armor is impossible also, just skim through some of this thread and you'll see that we've obtained a pretty solid amount of research.

Is the helmet on the bottom right a forerunner helmet? That looks so badass. And a helmet with a green visor, and another with a red one. Nice find.

The helmet in the bottom right is really nice. I'm surprised they didn't include it over some others. Forerunner Promethean from Cryptum would've been a nice add as well... :)

I think it looks nothing like that O__o The top of the helmet is really smooth and at a slight curve and it has those weird metal ear things like some other helmets (CQC, MARK V?) but totally exposed.

But I think someone needs to try and work out the structure of the helmet, I'm finding it difficult to see its exact shape.. like I can't tell if that dark black part is the visor or the neck or something. It looks like it has so many pieces all over the place.


Has anyone thought that it could be an exclusive for 343 or Certain Affinity? Bungie got the recon before right?

Looks like Geth, lol. I like that armor much better then what Halo Legends showed.

I think I can name all the helmets. 1st: Mk. V 2nd:Scout, with a wider visor (must have been edited for the game.) 3rd: EVA with some purple visor. 4th: FAFNIR (what we've been calling the mystery helmet.) 5th: Forerunner with a black visor, most badass helmet I've ever seen, I want that helmet.

If you look closely at the concept helmet, there are some elements that are oddly familiar, like the visor shape, and the small lens in the corner. It may be that this helmet was an early precursor of what we're seeing in the Defiant map pack, and the metal "ears" could be a variant of the base helmet, just like the monocle.

You know, nothing indicates that it's a Forerunner helmet. It only has an extreme angled visor, which is more likely for a special operations application. I don't see how helmets compatible with Mark V armor would be based on Forerunner tech when Mark VI isn't.

It's all irrelevant though, at least until we see it in a picture hidden some where.

  • 02.18.2011 7:20 AM PDT

Wow things are getting interesting, not only could that new helmet be in the game, but there is a very good chance that there's a whole lot more armor hiding behind it.

Haven't you seen Halo Legends? It almost looks like a helmet one of the forerunners were wearing except this version seems to be converted to marine tech.

No, ARMY TECH. There is only one group of Marines in Reach, on PoA. All of Noble team serve with the UNSC Army. But yeah, it does have some heavy forunner influences in it's design. Hopefully that little gem is somewhere on-disc, too.

OMG, I want that helmet so bad, if they put anything in the game besides FAFNIR, please God let it be this. Although you'll probably have to reach the rank of forerunner to unlock it :'(

I have, but there's really no way to link that 100,000 year old helmet to this one. Humans don't even know what Forerunners look like.

The ODSTs are all in the corps.
