Did anyone see that Frank O'Connor interview? When the interviewer asked him about more gear to outfit players' spartans, he studdered and mumbled and didn't give a direct answer, I lol'd.

Who are you to say otherwise? All you've done so far is prove what a jackass you
are.


You gotta admit, he has commitment, I can respect that.


Yeah, well hitler had commitment too. :P

It wouldnt be so bad if he didnt carry on like such a douche.


Up until he shot himself


Okay, yes, BUT! that's what shocks doing at this point. In a metaphorical sense.

I don't see much logic in denying this new helmet

It was in the defiant trailer, isn't that offical enough?

It's not like the trailer was independant, or tampered.
Major Nelson is the most offical source of Xbox news, that I can name.

I'll tear you a new one...

Hey guys, I just spotted this in another thread.

I don't really think it's legit, based on the source, but I wanted to hear your thoughts.

He's not shooting himself, he's just kind of, dying on his own as his supporters are abandoning him.

I don't like the way he avoided it.

Bungie themselves have used the "avoid the question" tactic on armor DLC just before Halo Reach was released.

http://boards.ign.com/xbox_360_general_board/b8266/195487206/ r195507846/

On the 15th I bet the answer will become perfectly clear.
Do a search on the word "armor", and see the questions which relate to armor and DLC.


Taken from your link:
Guest-92: Will there be any plans to include armor permutations in DLC or in future updates for Reach?
BrianJd: We have a ton of armory content that is in the game but not visible or accessible until further down the road. Some things will show up as you level up and other things wont appear until the community at large accomplishes milestones (like collectively **bleep**ing 1 billion grunts)


Guest-248: you have really improved the level of character customization this time around, Have you shown off all the armor varients already or are there more to come... possibly some secret perms? Is DLC armor a possibility this time? Also i live outside the US, is there anyway for me to get my hands on the US pre-order only chest piece? i do loves me some armor!
JosephT: We have not shown off all of the customization just yet...


Guest-283: Will there be a chance for DLC armor variants this time around?
BrianJd: No plans but there's a lot in the armory that you won't even see or have access to for a long while after the game is out.



Guest-358: Are there any plans to add more armor abilities down the road?
BrianJd: No plans, it's not really something the game could support post-launch.


Only one that says that the game couldn't support additions, and it's about Armor ABILITIES, not Permutations. Anything else you have to show?

Which also kind of happened to hitler. :P
My main point is still simply the doucheness.

ANYWAY! New helmet! Awesome!

Here's hoping for full sets and not just a few pieces.

Oh baby! That makes sense cause once you hit General the armour stop coming and there's still millions of credits to earn.

Who knows, there could be dozens, even scores more perms to be revealed to add life to the game and keep it new.

What if there's just as many armoury items hidden away on the disc as there are currently available?


Yeah, he says that to each of the questions about more armor, but when Armor Abilities are brought up, he says the engine doesn't support it. So it seems like Shock skipped over the word ABILITIES and ran with it.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

I would love some silly new Spartan shoes! OH OH! Or some sort of neat hat!

This is great, wish it had been shown a few dozen pages earlier :)

But it is at odds with this link where urk says

Forty-nine days and more than a few million challenges later, you've totally decapitated the Rank cap in Halo:reach. That means there are now more kick ass Rank and Armor options in the Armory than ever before. To help get you suited up into some hot new gear, we're introducing huge Credit Jackpots for players who routinely finish their games. Because we love you and want you to have nice things.

Oh, and we've some "reports" online of a second Rank cap. These reports are false. You now have access to everything the Armory has to offer, provided you have the Credits.

Sounds like there may be more on disc than we've seen or have access to. Maybe there are milestones that need to be reached before we can see it. It may be disc locked content.

new armour is great and all... but what i really would like is the return of Hayabusa. Who agrees with me?
