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.

what key words did "frankie" say?

the key word of the quote was "WITH" the defiant map pack. the armor could release another way and day, OR if not, then bungie is either:

-NOT in the loop, explaining their false quote

-in the loop and using a quote they got BEFORE they got in the loop, likely instructed by affinity to keep the armor a surprise

I actually came to the same conclusion, Bungie is likely more or less just as out of it as us.


What I meant by the frankie thing was to have the OP link to the video, explaining what he basically went on a stuttering spree, and I quote:

" Ah... y-your... not built into th-the... well, I.. let.. people should play it, put it that way."

If that's not PR speak for "you damn well bet there's gonna new armor, just not IN the pack", then I eat liquid diamond and pee rainbows.

  • 02.26.2011 11:52 AM PDT

lolwut?

Bungie said they're is not gonna be armor with the map pack.

The basically confirmed it's gonna be in an update.

  • 02.26.2011 11:53 AM PDT

'Sic vis pacem para bellum' (If you want peace, prepare for war.)

Yeah, from what I got he just meant the armor wasn't coming with the maps when you download them.

Everyone can see that there is at least that new helmet.

So it'll either be unlocked somehow or downloaded/purchased somehow.

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

That's what we thought, even evil otto said it's still not possible.

Maybe 343 found out a way to make it work, who knows?

I hope to God you're just trolling

I got to admit, I nearly lost hope when I read yesterday's weekly update until I read it again, and payed more attention There is no new armor coming with the Defiant Map Pack. On March 15th, you can look forward to three new maps: Condemned (supports 6 - 12 players), Highlands (supports 8 - 16 players), and Unearthed (supports up to 4 players in Firefight mode).

Key words no new armor WITH THE DEFIANT MAP PACK, it could still be in just an update a few days before or after or whenever the creators decide to add new armor. Well played with the way you worded it 343.

Ii will update the title and original post in the morning, as I am on my phone and can't copy/ paste links at the moment.

The stuttering in the video about the armor is a big give-away that there will be more, just not with the DLC

Looks like an illegitimate child between EOD & GUNGNIR

Witch you can buy for 400,000 cR when you reach the rank of Mythic.


You mean this?
It's not the same

the want for new armor has REALLY gotten to 343/affinity, to where they KNOW it could make a huge profit, and we know that they know...though i dont know how they'd profitably incorporate new armor separate from the map pack, because more map packs would be bought if the new armor came free WITH the maps, but it wouldnt likely be accepted to charge for new armor(releasing it separately)

so if the new armor isnt used to boost map pack sales then what would be their motive, which there probably needs to be, to release new armor? the truth is they likely would only release new armor profitably, but the only way they could get away with that is to make it free WITH some type of dlc that isnt free-

or WOULD they charge for new armor (making it separate), and WOULD the masses buy it? only way i can see that is if they charged a MINIMUM price, and may depend on the quantity of the armor

This is officially annoying....Speculation is fun...but this is pissing me off....Bungie needs to stop being -blam!- cryptic and just flat out say NO! No new armor its not disc locked nothing is coming nothing that you do not already have in your armory will ever be in reach....Either that or just say Yep, More armor is on the way. Because the cryptic puzzle bull -blam!-? Its not cute.


I dunno, I kinda like the mystery, maybe Bungie doesn't even know, I guess we'll have to be patient and see. The armor is definitely not coming with the map pack, but it may come in an update, or seperate download for a price, who knows? But I'd definitely prefer stringing along until we get new armor to a flat out no.
