posted a while bck ive been keepin tabs but i think you guys are on the right track its something to do with waypoint or the next map pack but why have a photo of it on market place advertising defiant? im thinkin waypoint the defiant achievments and any of the new achievements released will all play a part in an armour update.

another thought is a comunity challenge that you can keep tabs on via waypoint it could be how many bobs we have to kill you never know the new waypoint system would be capable of hosting a comunity challeng i doubt it would be to hard


How many people have been silently watching this thread and not making posts? And I agree that a new stat system isn't the only thing that we're going to see in an update for waypoint.

indeedy my freind im loving how this is a fun and freindly topic in which the beleivers can keep hope alive

and yh the update looks epic wont have to turn the xbox off and hop on the laptop to check my stats anymore lolz.

I also think its gonna be the key to the begining of good old achievement hunting vidmasters and much more

they shoud also make a monthly comunity challenge that would get people back on their teamwork

And on the new waypoint you could track your progress when it comes to challenges and achievements, it would certainly make finding out what achievements would be needed for new armor if they added a new unlockable armor page. I always felt it was a little weird that they would dedicate a whole section of your waypoint stats to two helmets, one chestpiece and a couple attachments.

Lol I thought he said "plan for it" my bad.

And I hope the new helmets in Waypoint are a lot cooler than Military Police and CQB. I personally disliked both of them and never used them.

And the lack of trolls on this thread, it just goes to show that there are still people who can have an intelligent discussion.

I used CQB for a while, but as I ranked up I found new helmets that just made it seem so meh in comparison.

agreed i think along with all other updates the armoury page will get a buffing to it was just a boring sad uninteractive page before it needs sprousing up

Why are you here?

BUMP

Not sure if someone mentioned this but maybe they'll also add other ways to unlock the armor such as X amount of weapon kills or through commendations.

I just look at it and it seems so sad and empty for some reason, even though I have both helmets and the chestpiece. To me the military police helmet looks kind of dumb, it looked OK on campaign characters that had the clear visor, but for some reason it just doesn't look right as a spartan helmet.

Just individually lol. Community would be interesting though. Like when Bungie lifted the cap with daily challenges.

indeed looks like the unsc made cuts and couldnt afford more spartans so they gave a marine spartan 3 armour and said try your best lol

cqbs alright but it gets dry i loved security in halo 3 simply coz i enjoyed running around getting those datapads lol hence why im wearing security in reach i fell in love with the helm lol

maybe a waypoint data pad collection challenge or achivement if so im in coz currently the data pads have no reward but some shinny text and a few messages

I posted back during like pages 230-240. I'm just reading the updates. Whoever mentioned the "funny how the waypoint updates were announced the same week we got our first Inheritors." is a smart man (or woman). Looking forward to it.
Plus, I love achievements and Vidmasters, so I hope they add more of them. Not sure if the new helmets would be Waypoint related though, I can see them being attached to Vidmasters, but not Waypoint.
The reason being, is the Military Police and the other one, required achievements from other Halo games. If they make new armor and make them like that, the players who don't have Halo Wars or ODST or whatever, won't be able to get them (without buying the game of course) and would get fustrated and argue "What do I have to buy and play other games to enjoy the new armor?".
Now, I could see, if there was a huge Armory Update, the Difiant "BoB" Helmet being the only piece of Waypoint armor and the rest in-game to buy.

I don't really want anything like that because anyone can go to gameFAQs and get a guide to figure it out.

Oh, that person was me actually, and thank you. I can see what your saying about new armor shouldn't need other games, but they could make so much armor that it shouldn't matter to someone if they had the games or not, but I doubt that 343 would do that much work for free.

Not true, I usually find fun games on action sack, Hockey is the most fun and random gamemode I've played on Reach in a while. I also like trying to splatter people with the golf ball in Haloball.

Wait... the chestpiece, Is it similar to the one the marines wear on Long Night of Solace?

Marine version

Spartan version

I don't think its the same one, but they do look similar.

I wish they would either just deny it or tell us. Id rather have them tell us that new armor is coming than wait 4 more weeks till confirmation
