Its funny how all the normal members that post saying 'new armor is impossible' or whatever are nowhere to be found.


because we have proved that it was impossible and, even if it is indeed new armor, you will only be able to wear it in those 3 maps, otherwise you'd have to re-download all the multiplayer, fire fight and campaign map onto your HDD.

besides, we have other things to do than being on a video game forum 24/7 praising bungie.


Again, it is always There possible that bungie probably had that armor or already added many sets of armors in layers of codes in the disc, that is locked. That is how you can "add" (unlocking) the armor without issuing new armor dlc would require entire re-downloading the content again...

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.

I MISS THESE THREADS!

The threads were we could come together as brothers instead of as enemies and explore a strange new world?

having fun, non-flaming arguments that actually bring up good points

We had those?

we do now it seems

did you read all the other posts? ppl have given very convincing reasons for how and why this is not completely true and how it could be got around


can you even think for a minute? if there was indeed new armor, wouldn't they announce it as a main selling point?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

Looks like an illegitimate child between EOD & GUNGNIR
I was thinking the same thing. Image two makes it have an EOD appearance while holding a GunGir similarity.

personally, i would release information as a surprise, putting out images to build up suspense until the big reveal, but then again, thats just me

Maybe there were already other helmets and armor perms created that Bungie simply hasn't released to the public yet? That does look like something new though.
They did claim that community challenges to unlock more armor >.> But since Reach is dyeing since it is broken nobody cares.

You say "It is impossible" even through Bungie stated otherwise?

Bungie said "It is possible to add in armors, it's simply not feasible to do so."

That doesn't mean they have no hidden armor in the game with the permission codes not yet released.

  • 02.14.2011 7:46 PM PDT

Hey I am not -blaming- you my friend. and trust me we have been thinking for a long while now lol and you raise a good point. But it is still possible and I mean how else is this armor there?

that attitude is not allowed it this topic, it's the only one i have seen that does not have a "halo reach is broken" or "halo reach is dying" post on the first page

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.

Immpossible, the vaynity program that shows all the spartan armors used Halo: Reach's coding for the armors, there were no locked armors.

Hello! I'm a male!

It isn't that it is impossible for Bungie to add more armor permutations to the game. It just wouldn't be profitable enough for them to do all the work just to add maps to the game. Updating the armory file so the armor permutations are there so people that don't have it can play with people that do have it. Then they'll have to update the in game registry for our spartans so the game recognizes them all. Then there is the designing of the armor permutation(s) itself. In the long run not enough of a profit would be made for them to spend time on it. Trust me I'm in college for game design so I know what I'm talking about here. :)

In Coding terms. It is very possible that they did add new armor. However it would only be available on the DLC maps. Not the current ones. I don't think that armor is available on the maps that were shipped.

Bungie may have requested that some armour be kept a secret

they did it with the halo 3 strategy guide, which was also not made by them

Could also just be more Bungie Armor that the community won't be getting. Like how the flaming helmet (the flame in general, no specific helmet) was Bungie employee only.

i would be pissed if bungie kept a helmet that badass locked from our use

Cool new armor! Still wish they added more forge items instead though.

Oh my god, didn't you guys read my posts?

I said that adding new armors would require re-coding entire contents which basically it eats up 9 gigs of HDD.

But, there is other way to consider:

Bungie may have lots of armored locked to everyone, whom cannot be used.

And Vanity, is basic coding setup to see the armors. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE THAT vanity would contained the permission files to access the hidden, locked armors!

For god's sake, please think again and look at this:

Those locked armors are probably already coded to work with ALL contents, including the menus. Don't you see? Bungie wanted to grab more players on the reach by releasing permission files to the creative affinity who made this defiant map pack, THUS unlocking armors for us to use.


  • 02.14.2011 7:55 PM PDT

once again I bring up fable 2, you got new armor in the dlc from nothole island (or what ever it was called) you could not see other players orbs ingame who did no have his dlc. Lionhead released a free dlc for each dlc you had to pay for so ha you could then interact with the players who did not have it

this is the same argument i'm using

  • 02.14.2011 7:56 PM PDT

Apparently there are lots of people who mistake the supposedly new helmet for an EOD helmet.


It is not. How can you not see this!?

Look at the forehead and the silver attachments at the sides of the helmet.

Do you see ANY of the characteristics here?

I hope I could clear that up.


I'm also really excited about this. I guess we will have to wait and see.

May Bee they are attachments to already in-game helmets, like Jorge´s chest piece with that thing on the left.

You are not practically adding brand new armor, just some permutations for the same armor.

sorry for sounding a bit like an ass, but go find a helmet with that appearance
