I've been watching this thread for a while and I just want to restate what I said in Shock's thread months ago that I don't believe there's going to be DLC armor added that isn't already known. When you've been around Halo as long as I have you'd understand why. Going all the way back to Halo 2 (before I setup an account) there have been countless threads asking about DLC armor / weapons / vehicles. They all play out the same way. Some random pic or news clip surfaces, leads to speculation, leads to added hype, leads to arguments. Throughout the whole thing you'll never hear an official word one way or the other from Bungie. The due date passes for the supposed glamorous unveiling... and nothing. All your left with are angry threads from users for the following two days that thought just because they wished it it would come true. Rinse, repeat.

If there is going to be new armor I'll believe it when I officially see it.

Think of Recon from Halo 3........ it was on the disk, but Bungie unlocked it. Beauty in simplicity.

Sooo BWU is imminent? When is it Central Time 1:30? thanks.

  • 02.18.2011 11:26 AM PDT

Do you think that they could be very clever marketing pics, to create hype and a bit more interest in Reach? Because if you notice, the spartan in question is the only one that is not visibly clear.

Thanks... This update has the highest of upside and the lowest of down.. Can't wait

If there is a snowball's chance in hell that this is new armor, I'm gonna save up for it. But I have a feeling that if it is available, that the process to get it is going to be much harder than just spending cR. Most likely it will be harder than Endure.

lol why is everyoen relying on the BWU its not goin to mention it! bungie is done with halo! occasionally they make community maps in forge thats all. this is 343 and certain affinity (both have prior bungie employess working at the top of their companies) but NOT BUNGIE!! we wil have to wait another few weeks to see if 343 did what bungie woudlnt do. ( which would be good for them to start of by proving they can do stuff like armor dlc, def a good start of a takeover)

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

Do you mean the third one is the one what is on left side?
It reminds me for Pilot Helmet and look at the third left one at bottom, See? And that last one is true jewel <3.

What is my opinion for this whole "new helmet" discussion is? Lets wait, see and hope, patience is way of the life.

I read somewhere that JFO is supposed to be a tribute to Dead Space

Though the more i look at it, the more i think that place was a crack den

Any news whilst i was away? Or we all waiting for the BWU? (What time is that to come out in Mother England?)

The JFO helmet reminds me of Iron Man. And we're basically waiting for the BWU. Which should be out in a few hours

I found out where, Halopedia, which explains my "?" reaction

Iron man seems more like the theme, it mentions it on there too, Makes sense since iron man's getting soo popular :P


What are the chances this'll get a mention anyway? :P

Agreed, don't hold your breath. My guess is we won't see any news about this until the map pack is released.

'Sic vis pacem para bellum' (If you want peace, prepare for war.)

Yeah, JFO to me looks like Iron Man as well. Gold visor with Maroon main color.

Iron Man.
