I would be down for an armor pack download. Maybe a couple helmets and armor effects. Just a thought

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Actually there a few Marines with Romeo's attachment on their helmets. This helmet was not in ODST, sorry.

As for gametypes, they have been in the game all along, but they are hidden in game files. We have not seen Reach's full potential and we will see more and more as this game ages.

The new armor is part of armor promised to us last year. Bungie said the armor we see now is just the tip of the iceberg. This armor and more like it has been in Reach all along, we just haven't been awarded it yet. Anyone else notice the Challenges lately? A Linked to Bungie.net challenge. Last time those were in affect was to help us with our Community Challenge of 117 million Challenges. This week's weekly requires us to get 6 full days worth of Challenges. What if they want us to get 777,000,000 challenges? Or even 777,777,777 challenges?! We will reach these eventually and this a possibility.

And Super tacoman, if you're going to be an ass, leave. Your negativity is unwarranted and unnecessary. Come back when you're level-headed and converse in a civilized fashion.
How far have people been speculating and it getting nowhere?

That may be the case but think about it this way, people have speculated about things with less information and been right. It is possible and that is reason enough to speculate. I'm not getting my hopes up, it's just a thought.

I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence!

apparently, some rumors have suggested that this is a bungie exclusive armor.

ok shock,tacoman and skippy how about the fire trails for the new game types?


Simple game scripts being slightly altered.

I like how you guys act like you're the ones doing the scripting.

People like you also said that Alpha Zombie wasn't possible, or that new gametypes could never be created for old maps. Yet the announcer now has the ability to say "Action Sack" with plentiful new gametypes and armor effects in every map that shipped with the game, along with our DLC maps.

The flame trails may be a slightly altered armor effect, but it is an armor effect, nonetheless, that was not written into the original maps from the start.

Your group is slowly being proven wrong, and you're going to get a barrage of spam, flaming you everywhere from the forums to your personal inbox. Seriously, I suggest you guys stop the doubting, because the "I told you so" is coming.

you havent been through the game's coding, for all you know its actually been stored in there....

remember how the announcer says "griffball" even though its a gametpye added LATER

gee bill, makes you wonder what you'd find if you took it upon yourself to actually check the disc

on another note: the flame trail from the OS is also on the juggernaut...this isnt new, its been around since the beta

True, but they've also been wrong too. Just look back to the H3 forum. Threads like the "Finding the Assassin Skull" and "The Secret of Sandtrap" went on forever, and in the end, found nothing. There was nothing to find.

I think you seriously underestimate the abilities of those doing the updates, and seem to pay little attention to marketing philosophy in many of your (and your group's) theories on Reach's coding limitations.

Please ask yourself how you think flaunting a new helmet would increase sales for the Defiant map pack? Why would a new addition to the armory be shown if it was never to be made available to anyone, whether it be 343, Bungie, or the community.

Common sense, as well as a basic grasp on marketting strategy, contradict your theory in the way such a product was advertised. If such a helmet was never to be released in-game, why flaunt it, front and center, in a promotional screenshot?

P.S: The screen in question was not an IGN exclusive, as Microsoft and 343 released those promotional Defiant Map Pack images via Halo's website and Twitter through Major Nelson.

Edit: Also, don't skip a beat, sir. What's your response to Alpha Zombie's inclusion when people like you thought such an inclusion to be impossible with Reach's playlist coding limitations?

That's why conspiracy theories are so popular. They always tell a more interesting story than the truth, and don't bear the burden of proof.

To me, those pictures are just promotional marketing photos. Nothing more. They are evidence of nothing, other than somewhere, there exists a helmet which we do not have. It could literally be anything.

But the human mind has a hard time grasping the random or chaos. We like to assign meaning to things that inherently have no meaning. "Everything happens for a reason" is the worst phrase in existence. Some things just are, and just happen. Quite the opposite is true. Not everything happens for a reason. Our lives are a sequence of random events strung together from a singular viewpoint. We assign reason to things we cannot explain to try and comfort us from the fact there is much that we do not know and will never know.

  • 04.01.2011 10:39 AM PDT

Here's my response to Tacoman, Shock, and Skippy. You guys don't know, that's it. You don't know the limitations of the Reach engine, you don't know what 343 has up their sleeves. And you certainly don't know if new armor can be a DLC or not. Look at all the stuff they added last tuesday, all without a single download required. I think that they could add new armor fairly easily to this game with a download and it might not even have to be a big one at that. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but please don't act like you're definitely right.

  • 04.01.2011 1:25 PM PDT

wow this thing has 240 pages, nice job man.

ok the only reason i came back to this thread is that i actually have a way that would be possible for bungie to add armor to the game, ok so, remember what they done to halo 3 by making a mythic version? well i was thinking that if bungie makes the same thing for reach it might just be able for then to get armor in the game and/or maps just like what bungie done to halo 3 they can do the same thing with reach. that is all, hope you like the idea.

Forget it, these guys wouldn't admit that new armor is possible even if it was in their armory for 500,000 cR.

Ok. I can agree with that a little... however there still is some truth to "everything happens for a reason" yes some things "just are" and "just happen" however your completely leaving out cause and effect... for instance... 343I would have re-assured us that the armor will never exist. They would have flat out told us that the armor was 343 exclusive armor or whatnot. Also why do people assume the pictures are for promotional use only? why would you try to promote your maps with new armor that is not obtainable? that's false advertising. you can't do that :I and I wouldn't expect that from bungie or 343I.

While we're on the subject of "What's possible", here's something you may have seen before...

Now if anyone keeps up with RoosterTeeth, then you already now about this, however, if you don't, or just haven't see the video yet, allow me to enlighten you...

So a year after the Vidoc was released, it's resurfaced, Halo Chess is playable, it exists, and it even gets listed within it's own Gametype category of "Insane"...

But enough of me talking about it;

-Here is the GameType...

-Here is the Map...

-Here is a recorded video...

-And Here is a Screenshot of me somehow in Jet Black/Chrome Armour...

Downloaded, I'm gonna take a look at it and see if it checks out just in case.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Any new info?

Also:

There are attachment/helmet combinations, and varients of existing armor in game that cannot be acessed.

You can view these by doing the hologram glitch, looking at the dead spartans in lone wolf, or getting the randomized helmet in the last cutsecnen.

I checked it out and mind=blown. Not only does the gamemode work, but it's filled with armor not currently available. Look at my fileshare for proof, I added pics and the gamemode if you want to check it out for yourself. I found the copper/brown visor, default chest with robot arm, the shoulder knife, and armor detail, all not currently available, but it's on here!

Flame trails in the beta and such aside, unless you downloaded an update when you logged into Reach today (or any day) then it's been part of the game all along. (You know as in your screen goes to black and you get disconnected from XBL while you wait for the progress bar to get to 100%.) It doesn't matter which game it is because that's how they all receive updates over XBL.
