Anybody know how to get haunted or plain recon?


Currently saving up for plain Recon at the moment. It unlocks at either Commander or Colonel, and it's 100,000 Cr.

Haunted's just a matter of getting some very high rank and buying all the Operator helmet parts (or is it Pilot?)


getting ALL helmet parts. yeah. and inheritor, so I'm told.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

I really hope that we are getting something for getting insane achievements like "A monument to all your sins" and "tank beats everything" or " Gods must be strong"

I am 13 not a BK and could most likly -blam!- you at halo
and I don't sound 2

I agree becaause they can't add new armor to a game once it has been released but it could most likley be some sorta frag or maybe he lagged his head into the wall.
But one thing for sure is there is no new armor.

Once again, thanks to a post a few dozen pages ago, I maintain this is the spartan version of a standard marine helmet, much like the ODST and MP variations. I believe this for 2 reasons.

One, note the shape of the helmet on the left in this picture. The curvature of the top, the dark circles around the ears. Picture those silver. It seems close enough of a match for me.

The second is the crazy monocle. It makes no sense whatsoever. Why have an external attachment? It looks so flimsy and in-effective. I know why. As a throw back to Halo CE marines, who had a similar device over the same eye. Not the best view, but you can make out the device in this picture.

So, I'd go out as saying the most likely identity of this helmet. The elements of the shape, the similar ear coverings, and the DBZ scouter over the right eye makes for a good guess as the identity of the new helmet: Marine Mojolir Variant.

uoY tsuj tog dellort.

Noticed how fail the graphics are. Just look at the plasma rifle in the first picture. Also, Bungie isn't putting new helmets into the game. They'd have to recode every map just to put the helmet in to work.

That's with the Halo 3 engine, not Reach's.

That is definitely no glitch or lag.

For the Noble map pack there was a spotlight video made for each map, maybe this map pack will get the same treatmen, but that doesn't mean the fabled Helmet will make an appearence. Kudos to the OP for spotting this though.

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.

Shock, i don't doubt you, you have good evidence supporting your side, but you did not program the reach engine, so you do not know its full capabilities

last time i checked, i never said i did. only Bungie and 343 know the true limitations of the engine

next time think before you twist my words

Before the game even came out the creators said they were throwing out all of their old equipment and putting in new stuff, which I assume means the engine too, so yes it is an assumption, but it is based on logic.

Now that the Defiant Map pack is officially public, I found some pics on the interwebs that shows a new helmet.

Pics below,
Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3
Pic 4
Pic 5

Here is a pic of all current available armor,

What do you think, is this a new helmet?

Did you guys ever think that its not and they aren't stupid enough to use a secret helmet that we weren't supposed to know about when they knew the footage would be used for a TRAILER?

if you don't think it's new, find us the name and some more pictures of it in regular gameplay


i rest my case

Name's WIlliam,

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

I just can't believe nobody official has spoken of this yet. It seems like Bungie, 343, or Certain Affinity would have spoken up by now... or at least have someone with solid evidence either way.

I'm of the mind that something is up, and we're not getting new armor. I feel like it would have been advertised or addressed if we were getting new armor... but I honestly have no clue or evidence to support my theory. At least if we don't get armor I can say I told you so, and if we do get new armor I can dance alongside everyone else.

Without Marathon, Halo wouldn't exist.

I'm considering re-posting my epic argument for all the "they can't add new armor due to "code"." people.
Because saying it's "code" is like calling a piece of paper a book, they relate but they're clearly not the same.
Also you people must understand that the map-encoding was only used in Halo1 on the PC due to disk size and differing file formats from console to pc.
And if you add something new to one map, it adds it to every map, yes this is true.

i can see how you would be right, but only bungie or 343 can give the final call

Map encoding is used in Halo 1 Xbox/PC, Halo 2 Xbox/Vista, Halo 3, ODST and Reach.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

I like how everyone here is speculating on this when they don't actually know anything. Seeing as bungie employees are the only ones who really knows anything about this, and that's if there is anything to know. But good job for making a massive thread that is completely redundant and pointless.
