Subject: New helmet spotted in Defiant Map pack

Honestly the helmet just looks like EOD to me but the chest looks new to me.I remember I saw an interview with the head of treyarch and he was asked why cant you put weapons in the game as dlc? To which he replied the disk is too full for one and that it would be unfair and also that it would be a difficult thing to do in terms of size and getting it out there. He stated that it would be a couple of gigs to put it in as dlc. Thats not to say that it isnt already on the disk but what about the people that played the map pack and leaked it?

I know that treyarch is a different company to Bungie and maybe the disk isnt full in reaches case but I would assume that they are pretty much in the same boat.

On another note maybe they could do it as games like dead space 2 can add entire new campaigns as dlc?

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.

first i recommend that you compare this helmet and the EOD helmet carefully.
second, on the last page i gave a very thorough explanation as to why the helmet has not been used by modders yet

oh, and any space they had on that disk was used up by forge world

Has anyone thought about waypoint? They added their own armor to the game when it was first released. This being made by 343, think it's a pretty safe bet that that's where we are going to get any new armor from.

  • 02.14.2011 10:44 PM PDT

yes compare this with EOD closely, no large lens and no silver ear bit on the side

  • 02.14.2011 10:45 PM PDT

I'm a huge Bungie fan, so much so that I started a company!

B.net "succeses":

The biggest and only real "succes" was forming the largest Brute group on B.net, but like most groups after Bungie left Halo it died.

It doesn't look like a cross between EOD and GUNGNIR!!! And didn't Bungie say that any new armor would be unlocked with Waypoint? Maybe not but Bungie didn't make the new map pack! 343i did, and since Halo is now theirs they can add what they want!

  • 02.14.2011 10:46 PM PDT

But even if modders couldnt use get to it they would still know it was there?

Maybe they can't add new stuff but they can unlock it. Uf we get new armour it has probably been locked on the disc the entire time.

Nope, the waypoint content was on the disk. The tie-in with them was that you merely unlocked it through the waypoint service.

Dunno, looks like ODST while subject is looking at his feet. Unlockables, dlc, anyway new armor would be cool.

I would think you would look at the helmets before making this post but i guess not.....that is clearly the ODST helmet and nothing else.

  • 02.15.2011 1:45 AM PDT

I am a Gamer by nature, but an anime lover by heart

If that is a new helmet I would be a big middle finger to all those who explaind in detail why they can't add new visual content in Reach, I would love that, however I could be a secret hemlmet that have been on the game disc this whole time but is just reveled now. but I hope it all new content that will be added in a title update (which is the only way to add things like new armors, if it's posseble that is)

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

Look people, this IS a new helmet, there's no doubt about that.

I've looked through every helmet and none of them look like it, yes some look similar, but this is definitely a new helmet. Now I'm not sure if modders have access to this helmet, because every modding video I've seen didn't have Flaming AE or Recon (Pre-Order), so I'm not sure if it's possible to unlock it without the key file.

Also, if anyone has seen a video where they DO have Flaming and Recon, that might just mean that they have Recon and Flaming on a different account. If you have 2 accounts on the same Xbox they both have Recon and Flaming, so I'm not sure what to think.

Why are people saying they'll prove Shock wrong? Armour can not be downloaded, but the a key file for unlocking armour already the disc can.

There's a difference beteen "Downloadable Content" (Downloading brand new Armour from the marketplace) and "Disc Locked Content" (Armour already on the disc, like the Flaming AE or the Pre-Order Recon, which gets unlocked with a downloaded "key" file). The Key File could just be downloaded along with the maps.

Shock along with many other people wouldn't be wrong, because armour wouldn't be added to the game, only unlocked.


I'll just post this again.

  • 02.15.2011 2:16 AM PDT

So does anyone not actually like the look of the helmet?
I thought GUNGNIR was bad, so so wrong.
nice find btw!!

wow that's weird. i thought it was impossible to add armors.

It is. A lot of the armors are still locked to everyone. I remember watching some interview with one of the lead artists (or something) talking about what was currently revealed was just the tip of the iceberg.

He meant that for the Beta

  • 02.15.2011 2:56 AM PDT

AFK: Away from Kontroller. Don't do it or you'll get the living crap smacked out of you by the Banhammer. If you disagree with any of this, you are just bad at Mortal Kombat.

If shock is wrong, he will learn the true definition of humility. He's too arrogant for his own good. However, his post does explain why it isn't possible. For the sake of new armor and customization, i hope he is.
