I'm excited not just because of the armor, but this means that Bungie, 343 and affinity have broken through the barriers. Anything is possible now, rideable moas in MM, Drivable scarabs, Elephants added to the game, new weapons. The impossible has been made possible.


Even though it a wonderful though of having broken the barriers! the only thing that would worry me the the idea of being able to add new weapons, i mean think how bad the forums would be flooded with "Bring back the BR" threads!


Meh, I could take it or leave it.

It would be terrible coding if they couldn't add in armour later on. Everything should be loosely coupled so that you can make changes to one part of the game/software without really affecting another part.

If it is, everyone will get it within the frist week and it won't be special anymore, along with any other new armor. So I don't get why people can't appreciate the game for more than it's armor, and ask for more maps instead.


well I appreciate the game for more then just is matchmaking!! id love to see some new campaign missiosn liek the lost mission in gears of war 2!! aka like a mission following jun after he seperates from the team after the package! thatd be pretty freakin sweet and when thye do they can take the maps they use for that mission and make them mm and firefight! bam great DLC right there!

has anybody figured out that the chest piece is just the collar/breacher chest? Put it on and you'll see what I mean.
As for the helmet? I think Bungie are too set on upholding their lie about not being able to add new armour. The money for them, seems to lie solely in map packs.

There was a few things Bungie had taken out of the game before release, e.g. Being able to drive a scarab in a campaign mission, and also being able to operate the forks on the fork lift trucks, though they said the forklift thing had a bug, where you could launch Emile into outer space with them lol. Woulda been so much fun if they'd kept things like that in the game, but who knows, if we do get new armours added through DLC, then anything could be possible! :)

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.

the Collar/Breacher chest's collar does not encircle the entire neck, just the front, plus there is no black plating to the sides of the body

i would know, i use it

Good find. I get its disk-locked content. It seems like it woulb be too hard to "download" new armor. I assume thats why they never did it in H3.

Yes, but they switched engines for Reach, they said that before the game even came out, so I'm thinking that the new armor will be downloadable.

Name's WIlliam,

For the love of God it's pronounced mister-shag, not misters-hag.

Maybe with the "Armor Download" we will get the snake icon back? Hey as long as we're engaged in wishful thinking, I'll play along.

i dont need a full 360 view to see that, nor would i waste 15 seconds to put it in a 360 view on my spartan

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

Im Back, anything new?

From a quick skim i deel i should reiterate what i mentioned before

The images were press release, this images would have been scanned through and through to ensure there was no issues with them before release, stuff theyd check for would be, for example, "Stuff that would build false hopes in viewers"

Basically these helmet was Meant to be seen, i emailed Certain Affinity to ask if this was just something unique to their development build when this thread started and they still havnt got back to me

Speculation for me on the "New Armour on release" spectrum is +15 :P

Hey... Just noticed something.
Look at his knees.
Remember how in Beta, knees stuck out a lot like that? This could either mean that for some odd reason, the video was made during the beta build of the game, and that either the armor has been there since beta, but just been locked, or that maybe they removed the armor during beta, and this is just an old video. We know that the Noble Map pack was already finished during beta, so maybe this one was too, and they just made the video during beta? Anyways, my point is... Oh wait, I don't have one.
