You probably won't even be able to see passed your own selfish wants to properly consider my points.


Very intelligent, make an assumption on someone entire character by one sentence.

I think you mistake this thread for being some kind of big deal. Sure it's a really big deal to tiny fraction of the Halo community, maybe a few hundred people at most. To us, this thread and the speculation is incredible,
I'm personally really absorbed by it. But in the greater scheme of things this thread doesn't really matter. If bungie nodded at every cool thing and bit of speculation the BWU would be too long to read.


Entirely subjective, we could possibly go on all dat and night about what is important. Any two gamers can have differences of opinion.

If you lose respect for Bungie because what they chose to publish on their personal blog doesn't line up with the kinds of information you feel they are obligated to I cannot fathom how you would even consider yourself a Bungie fan.


I feel you failed to see the point. It is not so much as what they didn't as so much as what they did say. This is not the first or last time I and the Halo community have been disappointed by a BWU. The content of the BWU was irrelevant at best. It is our duty as fans to hold their feet to the fire in order for them to keep doing their best.

I remember playing LAN on Halo:CE then Halo 2 online; there was much more negative feedback, but that did not mean they were any less loyal. Simply because we don't agree does not make us any less loyal. There is also no objective measurement for loyalty to any game. But thank you for the unique perspective.

lol you missed it

and don't be hating other guys. arguing doesn't = insulting, even if the other guy started it. but understand almost any point that could be argued about these helmets has, this hasn't been over 100 pages of off topic. (only ~ 20 of them :P)

  • 02.18.2011 7:31 PM PDT

I can understand why we wouldn't get mentioned in the BWU, but this serves as a BWU in itself, I think a lot of Reach fans would be interested in whether new armor is coming or not, and this thread could keep them informed, if not the specific date, but the probability of new armor, which is becoming increasingly high with the more information we get.

  • 02.18.2011 7:50 PM PDT

And if you paid close attention to the BWU, they didn't directly address this subject, but they kind of did it indirectly. The updater said Bungie has seen speculation and encourages it, to see what kind of magic they have up their sleeves.

Look at the collar just below the Gungnir helmet. Kinda looks like the collar we saw with the new helmet doesn't it?!

I'm just making assumptions here though. Don't hold me to it.

OMG, he's right, that's a new collar! Look, it doesn't look the same as the mystery collar we saw earlier. Another clever subtle hint by Bungie.

i think that people forgot something that bungie said a long time ago, a while before reach was coming out. THAT REACH HAD A NEW ENGINE! has anyone even thought once that the new engine can do things like new armor? everyone is basing their facts off of what the old engine could do, well this engine is new and i believe it can make new armor.

also, look at the damn chest piece, there is no current chest piece that has a solid black collar that goes around the neck. Breacher doesnt go all the way around, and the Grenadier is larger and is always your armor color, this new one is solid black all the time. also it has stripes near the front if you look at the right picture that OP provided.

ALSO to disprove those who think that is like the hologram glitch, no it is not. the hologram glitch only shows existing helmet attachments in combinations that dont work, but it wont show helmet attachments that just dont exist yet. the one in the pic is a single camera lens, not 3 together. also the helmet has disks on the ears, no current helmet has big silver disks on the ears.

  • 02.18.2011 8:02 PM PDT

I can't tell from that pic :/ but if it is then they're definitely just being teases
(does someone mind enhancing the image of the new piece?)

Aha, 'dissapointment', that's the proper word. It's entirely acceptable to be dissapointed by the content of a BWU if it isn't about what you hoped for. But losing 'respect' like the BWU is some kind of service they owe to you and are obliged to provide you with information you want takes the mindset of entitlement a bit too far.


Also subjective, people lose respect for others for all sorts of reasons. There is no objective measurement what is and isn't respectable. Simply because I disagree with someone's reason does not make their opinion any less or more than mine.


Posted by: Shadow 13th
Let them write and say what they want. It's their blog. Sure, be disappointed, but don't act like they've let you down or they owe you information, that's beyond selfish.


I expected them to not address it. Regardless, I am not the only one they have let down. Many users have felt much more let down by, in my opinion, a lot less. But they can feel disappointed by whatever they want, it is simply their opinion.

Bnet is full of much more selfish people, there is not a day that goes by where someone starts a thread because they want something changed. Playing Halo online for almost five years now has shown me that there are as many opinions about Halo as there are people playing the game.

thats not a collar, that is the CBRN attachment for the GUNGNIR helmet, and it is the same looking one as the one that EOD has. the BWU was just as pointless as it has been for the past month. but i am a supporter of the pictures tha OP supplied. i am just saying that the BWU had no new armor hidden in it.

I think that when Otto was describing the engine in his posts, he was describing the Halo 3 engine, not Reach. He probably doesn't even work in that department of Bungie. Really the only way we'll know for 100% sure is to wait for either defiant or an official statement from Bungie, 343, or Certain Affinity. And I mean the company heads, not someone who just works there.

That isn't CBRN, if you look closely you can see it wrap behind his neck. Plus CBRN is right under the chin, the collar seems to be hanging off a good distance from his face.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

Last bullet under Trivia section:

"In Halo: Reach, as of 11/10/2010, players require 9,634,200 cR to gain 100% armory completion, with all armor pieces, firefight voices, visor colors and armor effects. This means that players will be unable to get 100% armory completion until a fair ways into the rank of "Eclipse", or higher in the event of yet more armor being released. "

in the event of yet more armor being released.
To me that sounds like an armor DLC.



Do you really consider Wikipedia an official source? What you just quoted is just as much speculation as Justin Bieber's gender.

Not true, most of us now know that Justin Beiber is in fact an "IT". He is neither a Male or Female.
(bump)


Whats a Beiber?

If knowbody gets this i'll give my cookie back

no, what you are not seeing is that it isnt going behind the neck at all, the back of the GUNGNIR helmet is solid black, a thing hard to see in the picture, but you can see that the back of the helmet curves directly into the part that you are refering to. trust me. i know what im talking about. plus the CBRN for GUNGNIR is the two bricks on the face, and from that angle they do look similar to a collar, but trust me, there is no new armor in that pic. but i do believe in new armor.
