When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

if you listen to the interview, he says "ah, not built into the... well, people should play it". So this means you won't get new armor just by downloading the map pack. All you people who want a freebie, forget it.

infact, i suspect you won't need the map pack to get the new armor (that would cause problems with non-DLC users playing with Defiant map pack users on non-DLC maps). instead, I believe the armor will be unlocked for purchase in the armory at about the same time through a patch to the game. Most likely this patch will be available the same day and required to play online, with or without the new map pack.


This is by far the best possible explanation I've heard so far.

And if it's achievement related, you don't need the maps to get them.

Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

This whole Frankie o'connor thing reminds me of bungie´s day, when red vs blue showcased hemorrage, saying that it would be a little bigger.
Now, we have Forge World.


I like where your head is at :)

Can't wait to go easter egg hunting!

Seems like there is a good chance of "something" being added by 343 in the next couple of months, also good to hear that this isn't the last DLC ( not that I thought it was, just good to know )

Over the months? That sounds like they're gonna keep adding things in. Can't wait to see what 343 has up their sleeves.

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.

agreed, i'm excited, even if it isn't new armour

  • 03.01.2011 1:30 PM PDT

I was thinking that if 343 released additional armor to be unlocked with achievements, then I think that we would get the armor via Waypoint.

Speaking a achievements, Does anyone else think they're going to add exactly 3 new vidmasters to Halo:Reach?

what easter eggs?!

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

Yeah, what easter eggs?!?

when in doubt, shoot your way out

read all of this please
maybe they are also working on a patch and when they submit it, it will contain a download for the armor but only unlock it if you have the map pack. This would make it so that everyone could see it (not just those who have the map pack)

All we can really do for now is wait, ahh but to dream.

when does it come out?

You know it's funny, Shock denies new armor now, and it's likely that in a few months he'll get t-bagged by some 5 year old who's wearing it.

The Defiant Map Pack comes out on March 15th, as for the armor, well, your guess is as good as mine.

I denied it before the Noble map pack release.

Halo Reach doesn't change how content inside maps and on the game disc are handled from Halo 3+ODST.

There are other types of DLC that is impossible/infeasible like armor DLC.

  • 03.01.2011 3:37 PM PDT

you are not still denying it are you shock? come on man swallow your pride for godsake

New armor is clearly coming over the next few months.. personally I think it will be through vidmasters or something...franks smile in this new vid and the one from last week said it all

GT: CH x Noctis

They should make one for getting all the achievements..including the ones they're adding, it'd be a way to get everyone to get them, like my precious katana in H3 ;(
