Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

+1, but don't hold your breath. We'll probably get a lot of detail around the new maps, but nothing related to the mysteries around this new helmet. I could see Bungie stringing us along a for another week or two before putting this to rest by way of a news announcement, or even just waiting until the release date to solve everything for us.

No. Evil Otto said it wasn't possible. He also said you couldn't add firefight maps. He is not a viable source. Why don't you read a few pages here and see what kind of evidence we have built up before you post.

Wow, if I got a cookie every time I shut up a troll, I'd be morbidly obese

I'm 18 right now. My hobbies are drawing, outdoor stuff, building stuff, video games, and reading. I would like to become a welder, or get my CDl license to become a truck driver, and drive around country.

I'm thinking its a glitch with the armor coding. What I'm thinking is that it combines some armor codes with each other.

Would be nice, but I wouldn't hold your breath. If it was something done by 343i/Certain Affinity, then i wouldn't expect Bungie to know anything about it. We may have to just wait until March and see.

One thing is for sure, and that's that the helmet does look like one of the early concept sketches, which may lend some credence that it may exist in game in one way or another.

OT: I also think that Otto was talking about the H3 engine in terms of how maps are made and armor is added. Bungie probably changed it for Reach.

That very helmet was in the concept art for Reach, there's no way in hell it's a glitch or a mistake. link It's the one in the middle on the bottom, try imagining it without the monocle

That is by FAR the most logical answer. They saw a mistake in the updating system in terms of new armor for Halo 3, and for some reason everyone thinks they would not have touched that in Reach, which makes no sense. That's the first thing I would build on.

He says sometimes he knows the answer and sometimes it's his best guess. He probably gave his best guess about the engine, thinking it's really similar to Halo 3, but he turned out to be wrong, as I've said he's been wrong before. Oh, and he also doesn't want to be an unofficial spokesman for Bungie, so don't quote him.

Keep in mind I almost never quit, I just hate the fact there are over 6 different bans in the game, kind of leads me to think Bungie just enjoy punishing there fanbase.

BRANDON tha GREAT

I doubt we get anything but what we already know, Allstar pics and Blam Stosh

Hey guys, I just got an idea, I know it will never happen in Reach, but in Halo 4, what if they made forge armor? They give you a few bases to work with and a bunch of attachments to move and put them wherever you want. You can move and increase or decrease the size of your emblem. It's still an idea in progress, but if they gave it some tweaks do you think it would work well?

could coincide with my idea for different paint patterns, you'd be able to choose different schemes like flames or camo

Yeah, I would definitely like some camo paint, but with my idea you colud place your knife wherever you wanted (chest,back,shoulder,ankle,crotch, Whatever) and place lights, ammo bandoliers, tac pads, or whatever anywhere you want.

I just watched the Defiant map pack trailer but I couldn't find a fancy new helmet on any of the players... So it might be fake.

it's not in the trailer, that part is just a mistake, but the helmet is legit. the screenshots are from Major Nelson and 343 themselves
