Subject: New helmet spotted in Defiant Map pack [Updated with movies & p...

This isn't a map thing, I downloaded Defiant and got no new armor. If you know anything about Bungie, you should know they don't just give out stuff for free. If there is any new armor, you have to unlock it, the HARD WAY. This is the second new piece of armor I've seen so far, and there is another forum that explains this helmet, you should read it. And the whole point of secret helmets is that not many people have it, and it's not something that's immediently availiable, not something you can buy, something you have to earn, like in Halo 3, with the Hyabusa, and one theory, that makes a lot of sense is that you have to kill all the BOBS.

Defaint= old news, plus hayabusa was fairly easy to unlock, and Bungie does give stuff away for free, lots of stuff actually. New playlists every month for Reach, in Halo 3 they gave away Cold Storage away for free and eventually all of the map packs, especially along with Halo 3: ODST. Also hackers and modders have searched and stripped the game bare and have found nothing. Nothing short of Bungie or 343 flipping a "new armor on" switch would show us new armor.

Pretty big evidence for new armor? How so? :/

If your talking about Halo Chess it's because if you look at the chess figures they are all wearing armor that is not currently available for use, and if you play on the black team it shows your spartan in jet black armor in the credit description, which is also not currently available for use.

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.

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

Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

I'm not too familiar with Pfhor or Marathon (I hopped on the Bungie bandwagon for Myth) but I wouldn't be at all shocked if there was some kind of reference to Marathon. Other forums have been abuzz with possible links between the Marathon and Halo series.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Why is this thread still around? We know that there is no new armor from the map pack!

  • 05.05.2011 7:36 AM PDT

Does anyone actually think that this new helmet could be exclusive to Bungie/343 employees only like recon in Halo 3 before they brought out ODST, I'm ashamed :(

  • 05.05.2011 9:12 AM PDT

That's been said quite a few times now. I know they have done it before with Recon, but I don't think they will do that with Halo: Reach. Besides, why would they need their own special armor when they are transferring control of the Halo franchise to 343i?

This is about new armor in general, not from the map pack. Also this thread is a great way to meet people and have intelligent conversation free of trolls, but unfortunately it's dying. We need more information to go on, if there was an official armor release date announced by Bungie or 343 this thread would explode again.

Until I see a body, Noble 6 is not dead. (Yes, I'm stuborn)
Besides
A) Death Is Cheap

B) We Never Saw A Body

C) I passed a few dozen of him/her today in matchmaking.

How many grunts have we killed? Didn't one interview say 'something might unlock after one billion grunts are killed'?

Using the program, I inserted a Reach disk, and was able to begin to browse the folders. I found folders for every piece of armor, the corresponding attachments, and armor effects. Including UA chest, Officer, Flames, and Bungie Blue Flames. I did not find anything that I could not identify. While it is not impossible I my have missed anything that is still hidden on this disk, however if I did, there is not much more to come.

You seriously think you have fully "data mined" a game as advanced as Halo: Reach? Ridiculous. Do you know how easy it is to hide files from nosy little hacker wannabes like you? Do you seriously believe that the professional programmers at Bungie did not foresee people digging around like this, especially after Halo 3, and not take proper precautions? You saw exactly what you were meant to see: nothing out of the ordinary.

Sorry if this is old enough to carve out of a dying glacier, but I just wanted to mention that the helmet can be seen in the recent weekly update.

Twice.
