Yes thats the one :P with the magnifying lens on the front (or what ever)


I thought of the Dark Brotherhood armor too when I saw it, lol.

So is this definitly new armor added to the game, or was it buried in the code and only unlockable after this map pack?

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.

Its not been confirmed friend but we think its def possible that it was hidden in the code. Its just one of the theorys that this thread has come up with but it is def a new helm and chest

OMG, I can't wait till march, I want to see the new armor and wipe the smirk off the smug faces of the people who claimed it's impossible.

It could be the Assassin variant. The Mk. V [A] Variant, initially designed for operations against the insurrectionist leadership in the Outer Colonies but quickly modified for planned missions to infiltrate Covenant space and neutralize the Covenant hierarchy.

Thats what I thought because I remember bungie saying they were going to unlock new armor as the game progressed. I just want new elite armor...I hope they buried some more elite permutations in the yet to be unlocked category...

That would be sweet, I mean after all people did say FF DLC is not possible but here we are. A new map on its way XD

Arbiter armor, that's all I'm gonna want from new elite armor.

Arbiter armor, that's all I'm gonna want from new elite armor.

yes, definitly, that and councilor and honor guard. thats what ive wanted since halo 2...even the supreme commander would be acceptable, or imperial admiral armor. but those last 2 are doubtful. And despite the fact that honor guard and general are similar, they are not the same. as for the councilor being a walking sniper target, tell that to the people who wear eva or flame helmets! (note: I wear a flame helmet and will sacrifice survival for epicness)

Hopefully everyone won't need to, hopefully there's a lot more armor in store besides that one.

Music Lives Loud

Pro Forger

Inspiration [Forge Group]

it is VERY possible to add armor to reach. just as if the data for the helmet was alread on the disc, it can be added in the same way map packs are. map macks are much harder to add.

Something else I noticed: On the enlarged 1st image, the "new" helmet's color is darker than the rest of the red Spartan.

OT: I think that it is impossible to add new armor to Reach, but it is possible to UNLOCK armor to use. So it is possible to release armor along with the Map Pack by Unlocking the armor.

you contradicted yourself there. lol. it looks new to me just because he has a "monicle" looking object in his left eye

Isn't the current Ultra armor very similar to councilor? I mean, sure the headdress isn't quite as expansive but I think that got adjusted for gameplay.

again this is like the general/ honor guard debate. they are similar, but not quite the same. I like ultra, but it is the councilor armor from halo 2 that I covet the most. Its the minor details that make ultra a few steps short of councilor, one being the headress and how ornate it was for a councilor. I would gladly enter a game of snipers with that...true, im an easy target, but it just looks epic, and I personally find that more fun then just winning. then again this is just my opinion, which in the grand scheme of things, does not mean very much.

"Bungie, release a new helmet NAO, everybody is wearing the FAFNIR helmet and I'm sick of it!"


:-D

Bungie shows, never tells. They just showed us something incendiary. This thread is hot, and I cannot. wait. for Defiant to be released.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

I thought Mk. V [A] was the rouge helmet.

If that really is a new armor there are two things that people have been suggesting.

1. It's already in the game buried in the code as disk locked content. A key will come with the map pack.

2. It actually is DLC and when people download the map pack they will get the armor. Anyone who doesn't have the map pack will see it as default.

Number one is impossible. Hackers would have found it before the games release because by hacking you have access to everything in the game. Number two isn't impssible but really impractical but lets think that they actually have found a way to add armor. How it could actually work when someone with a new armor was in a game with someone who hadn't bought the new map pack. It could work with everything except helmets. The player who hadn't bought the map pack would just see a player runnning around without head because armor is just texturing that is put there to cover hit boxes.

I hope that you took the time to read this and understood that it can't be disk locked content. Lets just hope that there really is new armor and it's in some odd way possible.
