Name's WIlliam,

Well I'll be damned.

Where's Shock 120?


Can't wait for him to post a link to the thread he made where he proved nothing.


Shock never had solid evidence against adding armor.
Disc-locked can be avoided, either hiding it before, or releasing a free patch, bottem line, Bungie can do anything.

I think what we really need to be discussing is "Why did Bungie leak this?"

Is new armor coming out in March? I doubt it.
Are they hinting towards 'more to work towards', just perhaps.


Did you ever read his thread? There's plenty of solid evidence and i even have word from an employee (Evil Otto) that it cant happen. Theres no new armour. End of.
he also said FF maps couldnt be added so everything he says means nothing
"Nothing is true; everything is permitted"

I think yes it's a new halmet but everybody is gonna say its impossible... NO it isnt but im sure bungge employees are going to have it (abit like recon was in halo 3) because they redonwloaded all the maps and menu etc this could be an explanation...

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

Why are people saying they'll prove Shock wrong? Armour can not be downloaded, but the a key file for unlocking armour already the disc can.

There's a difference beteen "Downloadable Content" (Downloading brand new Armour from the marketplace) and "Disc Locked Content" (Armour already on the disc, like the Flaming AE or the Pre-Order Recon, which gets unlocked with a downloaded "key" file). The Key File could just be downloaded along with the maps.

Shock along with many other people wouldn't be wrong, because armour wouldn't be added to the game, only unlocked.

I like you.

He's right people, this isn't a new armoury peice, its either a glitch, a photoshop or Disc Locked Content.

Anyway we'll see in March.

looks like rogue with an attachment above the visor

wow that's weird. i thought it was impossible to add armors.

It is. A lot of the armors are still locked to everyone. I remember watching some interview with one of the lead artists (or something) talking about what was currently revealed was just the tip of the iceberg.


So does that mean there are more armor pieces but Bungie is waiting for the OK to flip the switch....Interesting

  • 02.14.2011 4:59 PM PDT

While bungie is my favorite developer, and I will swear to the 7th step regime, Bungie is known far and wide for their sense of humor.
Would you really be surprised if bungie had as much armor hidden as they had already revealed? only able to be unlcoked when certain acheivements or milestones where reached?
Or if they had lied to us altogether and it was possible to add new armor?

  • 02.14.2011 5:00 PM PDT

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

If anything, there's a new chest piece.

I got a screen cap of the alleged "new visor color" and it's hard to say if it's a truly new visor color or just a gold visor.

This image is the same Grenadier helmet and the two visors obviously differ in color.

However, this image depicts the gold visor in a similar manner as the new visor color from the recent trailer.

But, it's certain that it isn't Jorge's visor color...
Hmm... It's tough to say. If that polite helmet has gold then I say yes but if it is default then no.


I was talking about the Spartan with the Grenadier helmet in the screen cap.
Me too. I was comparing it to the guy with polite.

Are you that stupid? He was wrong about one point, THAT he never had proof for. He's right about Armour DLC.
not stupid no i dont know if they can or not just saying he has no proof for anything he says

from what i have been told and have read, they can not add new armors, due to the way it was coded?

that was in halo 3 Im not sure how it is in reach

Evil Otto said it was still the same, but he could have been wrong.


Actually I remember seeing the comment about adding armor.

It was "We can do it, but it would require a massive patch updating every map."

  • 02.14.2011 5:08 PM PDT

This may not be important, but i just noticed something:

all the spartans EXCEPT the one with the unidentified helmeta re wearing all default armor. Probablly not important, but who knows?

To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically

Given Otto's response on new armor it could potentially be armor only available in the new maps as an incentive to buy them.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Looks nice, time to start saving again.
