Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

I agree, Bungie/Certain Affinity/343 Industries know how to advertise; they're not just going to show us obvious pictures of a new helmet and chest armor if we can't have them, that's terrible marketing.

And besides, the pictures were so obvious that if they were a creator-of-game-only thing, they could have easily caught and removed them pictures from the album on Halo Waypoint and the trailer.

For me, it's not an argument as to whether these and other The Armory additions will be released, it's when.

They're adding the classic playlist in April right? In my opinion it's best that if you bring something old, you also have to bring something new, preferably armor.

I'm just speculating, but here's my guess. I think that the Defiant map pack was originally supposed to come out on April 6th, but images and information about the map pack leaked, with so many people wanting to play it they had to release it a month early. But the armor is still coming on April 6th, anyone else think this makes sense?

Pretty sure I'm a thread killer...

Whatever it is, it most definitely is new and unavailable in the current version of the Armory.

Perhaps we will see 2 DLC options: One for the defiant Maps, and the other for new Armor Permutations...

Hey guys, I just got another thought, we had someone comment earlier in this thread that what if new armor came once everyone hit inheritor, we all laughed but maybe he was onto something. But not everyone would have to hit inheritor to unlock new armor for all, just one single soul, one xXSaVIORS0ULXx, who is at reclaimer now, do you think that this theory could be possible?

Here's a clue people. If you get the Defiant achievements and try to register them into your milestones. You can see that it doesn't upload. If you take a look at your achievement records for Halo Reach in Halo Waypoint you can see that you haven't earned a single one. I have all 3 but on Waypoint they won't show up. Maybe we have to wait for an update for Halo Waypoint and then we can get that helmet.


is this true? cuz then Thats more proof imo, can anyone else confirm this?

I can confirm of this. Already got every new achievement on day one of Defiant's release. And yet on Waypoint it shows I don't have them unlocked.

I only have one of the Defiant achievements, but waypoint shows the achievement, but says I didn't unlock it.

I too can confirm. I have every achievement for Reach, but the new ones from Defiant don't show as unlocked. I highly doubt this goes any deeper than a mere glitch, but only time will tell.

  • 03.16.2011 5:22 PM PDT

I've only gotten one achievement too, but I haven't checked. iF it's true, it's possible the helmet could be like another Waypoint addition that they're waiting for just the right time to release. Or, it could be just like a regular helmet that's unlocked at maybe Inheritor, that's why there is no news of it.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

I got all achievements, no new armor.
Only reward for Inheritor would be the Haunted Helmet.

Everyone recently changed their pictures. But on the topic i agree with killraider that xXSAVIORS0ULXx becoming a n inheritor might be all it takes. Ive been watching his progress and he might achieve Inheritor in around a month.

The map pack came out, and there was no new armor. Might as well update the title to "New Helmet Spotted."

The title isn't lying, the pics are technically taken in the map pack. Although I guess for the sake of avoiding confusion...

  • 03.16.2011 8:34 PM PDT

For modders out there (I know next to nothing about video game coding), has anybody torn apart the coding for the defiant maps to see if there are armor codes in there?

Think about it: If 343i plans on releasing new Armor, they need to recode all the maps and campaign levels in a Title Update. Why maps new maps without the coding and then a month later (based solely on the speculation that the TU will come out on April 8th) have a TU that updates them? It would just make the TU's file size bigger.
But then again, 343i could have thought of that and purposefully not put the coding in so it would stay under wraps until they wanted to confirm it. hm.

Just a thought.

Just talked to a 343 Employee he said I shouldn't tell you this but there will be new armor for sure in the near future. :)

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.
