This may sound silly and un-informed but perhaps the rank inheritor's name means something, not just for the one person and not just for haunted, but for ZOMG NEW ARMURS!!!111!!!


That's what I said, I don't think that it's that strange or unbelievable compared to some of the crap that we're seeing Bungie do know and what they've done before.

Unrelated: WOOO! page 225!

Maybe the new helmet is just an old Helmet (EOD?) that only changes on a certain map? Like Uplink under special circumstances?


I don't think so, someone would've found out about it by now.

I've been following this thread for quite a few days now and my how it has grown! After getting Defiant and it not being auto-unlocked I was disappointed. however I then watched Majors Minute for this week and he said something about a Halo Waypoint update.....just like when Reach launched and you could get MP and CQB armor....so my thoughts are this: after this Halo Waypoint update there will be NEW armor available through HW after you Get either the Defiant Achievements OR some other achievements on reach Or possibly reach a certain rank on waypoint.Just my thoughts but...it could happen right? Since 343 and CA worked in tandem on the DMP and Waypoint is by 343 then that would make sense that 343 could have either given them the armor "just because" or maybe to test that it worked at all in game.


It would make sense, but I still want to have some armor that's buyable in the armory so there's a little variety in the new armor and we don't have a bunch of Halo clones running around. But I suppose I'll have to be patient as adding armor seems to be a fairly new technology.

Ya true on one hand having it in waypoint would be great but personally I think it would be cool to do a throwback to recon in Halo 3 and have it unlocked by some achievements and then you would get it with a little bit of credits that way it still takes some skill and some credits to buy the helmet and it would kinda find a medium to all the suggestions

I'd want a mix, so there's new buyable armor, but also one really badass armor set that requires a vidmaster to unlock. If that were the case I'd probably mix the new buyable armor with the vidmaster, but still keep the vidmaster helmet on. (depending on the badassitude of the helmet as compared to other new helmets.)

agreed, always nice to have a good combination when it comes to armour

thers nothing i hate more (in reach) then playing with some noob who has the same armor as me, so id wanna make it at least challenging to get the new armor (vidmasters?)

So anyone who has similar armor as you is a noob? There are bound to be similarities eventually.

Im real happy for you and Im gonna let you finish...but the BR took less skill to use than a DMR

you idiots forget to update the game with armor would take a 10+gig update

not everyone has the space to spare nor is it a feasible thing to do

also the armory is part of ui.maop which is packaged with the original disc, what you saw in the screen shot on condemed is part of the developer build

  • 03.20.2011 7:51 PM PDT

I really like halo reach =) I like some other games too ^.^

Please everyone play nice =3

I have youtube ^.^v

EVEN though the developer build videos from before didnt even look that polished ?

Your a moron if you think 343 would dig up old bungie pre build videos for a trailer of a map pack that came out more than half a year later.. you seriously need to quit halo if your serious about what you said lmfao XD

Wow, you're the real idiot here. That was what it took for Halo 3, not Reach. Don't you think that they could have developed a system to give us new armor? Plus this could be disk locked armor that hasn't been revealed to us yet. I laugh at stupid people like you. GTFO, now.

Maybe 343i is waiting for this thread to hit 343 pages before they release it. THAT would be quite interesting in my opinion.

Well then... consider this post as another step towards a new helmet (hopefully) :)

  • 03.20.2011 10:26 PM PDT

Meh pancake-mix.

I would like 343I to come out of the closet and give us something, anything on that helmet. They have to told us that armor will NOT be shipped with the Defiant Map pack and the Halo Waypoint achievement unlock is debunked. I've ran out of options on how they would put this into the game. It's not impossible and I am pretty sure EVERYONE would be able to get it, We just need to know when and how.

Then we have a long way to go, everyone start posting as much as they can in hopes of new armor.

The biggest argument for the other side is that it was from some "pre-Reach l33t dev build!" but if that were the case these pictures would be shown only in a "cutting room floor" gallery, NOT AS SNEAK PEEK PHOTOS FOR THE DEFIANT MAP PACK!

And even if this WAS true, and it just HAPPENED to get released for no damn reason at all, I'm pretty sure they would have corrected this mistake by now by just letting us know that it was an old helmet model.

But that can't be right because think of HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN since the pictures got released in the first place!!!

Now I'm NOT saying that we are getting a new helmet... what I AM saying, however, is that this has been done many times before. It's a little something to throw in there for the fans to get discussions going. Whether we get the helmet or not, we can easily deduct (at least those of us with brains inside our skulls) that THIS WAS PUT IN HERE ON PURPOSE.

Siamo ciò che osiamo

Just a tought: is it possible they want 7 people to hit inheritor?
maybe those guy of the 343 industries like it too O.ò

  • 03.21.2011 12:51 AM PDT

あなたはばかです。

You know, Bungie is claiming it's not in there, but let's look at the facts:

Bungie denied that they were working on Halo 3 when Halo 2 came out. Halo 3 Legendary Edition proves that's a lie.

Bungie denied they were making any more Halo games after 3. We know how that happened.

Bungie denied we'd ever get Recon. Do I even need to say it?

So, Bungie lies, CA made the map pack. Oh, and that think looks so steampunk.

Been playing since pong, and you?

Bungie has been pushing LASO on us, Maybe completing campaign this way will have something to do with it.

I remember when this thing hit 100 pages and people were psyched. I mean, holy -blam!-

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.

I want the bottom right helmet so bad. If it was available to unlock, then I'd stop at nothing until I unlocked it.

agreed, mixed with the black visor it would be epic

Hey guys I've been thinking. They're making an update for Halo Waypoint right? What if they made a career page to unlockable armor that was literally jam packed with unlockable armor? Each piece requiring different achievements depending on the armor, like a sniper helmet would require a sniper or headshot achievement. Or maybe some other armor for getting high multikills? They could even put in armor for having the old Halo 3 vidmasters. I think that this would be a pretty cool idea. Even if you don't want to spend a ton of creds and you only specialize in a certain field of Halo there would be a little something for everyone. Maybe even armor for a Halo Wars achievement even though I hated that game.

Black? I was thinking blood red if they had that visor come too.
