Okay, can the OP PLEASE change the 1st post and title to reflect the new info?
I'm tired of people not knowing all of this stuff before posting "but bungie said blah blah*
Include frankie basically confriming armor dlc in the interview, the GOOD pic of the helmet, etc.
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.
Here's the part of the video interview that the Reach employee stated when he was asked about new gear for people's characters
Here's a link to the video, if you only want to hear the part about armor, then skip to 4:10
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
