To all the -hater- people out there, it's all about knowing how to read.

Bungie-- or rather, 343's statement:

"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)."

It's clearly said they are not including armor with the new map pack, that is 100% true, 343 doesn't manages Halo Reach as they only co-worked in the development of the new maps; now on the other hand, Bungie is in charge of managing The Armory and the ongoing support to the video game and unlock new armor in time (Just like it was done during November and how it's done with the Haunted Helmet and also good to mention the Recon helmet in Halo 3), so only Bungie should know if new armor is really going to be unlocked (ie. not released), but obviously they will not reveal it, which is why the 343 representative stuttered when he was asked on the matter.

2 cents.


Your over thinking this. They are just going to add in a new TAG file and set it up to where the game reads that file every time you load up the game and/or map.

Been away from this thread since friday. Sorry to see Bungie out of the loop, figured they deserved to be in the know. Now it sounds like 343 the one playing games. The video link provided (thanks for that!) and BWU throw even more doubt on an immediate resolution to this mystery. Still eagerly awaiting March 15, but this is getting too semantic, even for me.


yea bungie said they were the maintainers now. but they got their own new projects. im actually curious to see how 343i mixes things up however a good mystery/confusioin is def a good start to bring ppl back!


This is 343's big chance to prove themselves, they're gonna have to do the best they can.


Agreed, this is their moment to shine. As bitter as I am with Bungie's departure, I'll follow them wherever they go. They just make great games. 343... I hold out hope that they'd won't take the traditional Microsoft route of making things unenjoyable :-P

So here's a question for the community... where the heck do I find 343's website? All the top google hits take me to their job offerings and nowhere else. If they're going to be the source for this stuff, it'd be nice to have a user-facing website.

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.

Everyone stop. Just stop. Your all dumb. Bungie clearly stated "No new armor will be in the map pack." So there will be no new armor. It was obviously just some glitch or something we will never know about. Stop caring. Stop wasting all your time arguing over this, get a life, and just play some freakin Halo. IF there even was going to be new armor, it would be for a high rank, which means none of you would be getting it.


I'm a f**king Brigadier gr. 2 and still rising. And they said no armor with the map pack, never said no new armor, you're a retard. Get out. GTFO!
read the title of the thread.

you forget that the second half of the armour was added, I know it was in the game in the first place, but you couldn't unlock it online.

Yeah but that was with ranks, you couldn't get to higher ranks, with this new armor I'm guessing that it will be some sort of download.

the br was not nerfed

  • 02.28.2011 4:50 PM PDT

Uhh yeah Halo is awesome, go Bungie!

I don't know if anyone has noticed but that looks like the borg did from Star Trek. Also the helmet looks like a variation of the operater helmet. Center the eye on the forehead and give it a visor you have operater.

Listen Shock, I respect you and the fact you've kept to your opinion for so long, but you're blind. A picture showcasing the new helmet on ign, the video where frank O'Connor hinted at new armor, the huge title update 343i is doing, proving that if not new armor, something big is coming, you have to at least admit it makes sense.

Edit: These people are business professionals and know how to appeal and hint to people to get them excited for something. It's called, marketing.

How is the OP wrong?


He isn't, people need to read more carefully.

I think this guy has proved his point again. The helmet still looks ugly though

This looks like the operator base but the character looks like hes just looking really far down so you are seeing the top of his head.

http://www.haloreachplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/8-2 3-2010-4-56-45-PM.jpg

The front piece is the same.


if you go get on reach right now, and look at the operator base and then at this, there is a distinct difference between the two.

Magnum & Sprint.

No way, that is absolutly not any helmet that we know of, no matter how you look at it. It's like a mix of EOD, Gungnir, Hayabusa, and a monocle. And it's totally asymmetrical, even the mouth part.

Also, there's no way it's the ONLY new armour piece...
