If I've learned one thing from this experience, it's to not expect closure on stuff like this so quickly...I'm guessing this is probably gonna go on for a while until something get's solidified...if anything...

All I'll say is, a looong time ago, Brian Jarrad said that they could "Flip a Switch" and open up whole Tiers of Armour for the whole Community once we complete certain Milestones...now whether or not that still stands remains to be seen, but that creepy-looking one-eyed guy kind of supports that it does still stand...

I believe that was more in reference to the rank cap that was imposed when the game first came out. It ended upon a milestone completetion.

but an interesting thought, none the less.

Not a fan of this helmet.

is it possible that this helmet unlocks to players who have the Vidmaster achievement in Marathon: Durandel for XBLA? supposedly there are very few ppl that have it.

Sorry if its been said, but was that a not so sneaky way of implying it has to do with the switches in Reach?

I still think that someone would've found the connection by now.

I honestly thought he was implying there would be more than one...but now I'm more inclined to agree with you, that there was only ever going to be one...damn shame...

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.

it brings to thought, why mention the completion of Milestones if they only had one planned? of course, they could have just merged them all into one

someone has no doubt thought of it, but has it been ruled out for sure? we need to debunk it before passing it off. Im gonna buy marathon on XBLA and get the vidmaster just to find out for sure.

Come to think of it, if there was only one Milestone (the Community rank Cap Challenge), why did they speak of it plurally?

Milestones

Squad 146 new fun CLAN by me! plz join if interested

I would love to see new armor available for the community. And that helmet does look pretty beast! I understand that there is a whole thing about,"it's impossible to add new armor". But I think it can be the same like recon in H3. There is always a way.

I will infect you with Hazardous DNA!!!!!!

Maybe this is one of the many new helmets or armor that can be unlocked by New Map Packs or VidMaster Achievements or by finding secrets in the world of Reach(The Campaign) I don't know but what I do know is that I want it and this could be the start of some WAY more intense and badass looking armor waiting to be unlocked :)

P.S. I mean look at this helmet its super badass and I hope they have more in store like this PLZ!! :)

  • 05.08.2011 1:00 PM PDT

I like this helmet. Hope we find something out soon.

I have Marathon Durandul, so I'll try to get it but I doubt I'll get very far. It's worth a try though.

awesome. post back if you get it to either confirm or deny its unlocking the helmet or anything else.

Really I think that we're either gonna have to wait for 343 to take full control of Reach as stated in the BWU, or until the next map pack, I'm just going to wait and I'm sure that eventually something will pop up.

  • 05.08.2011 8:26 PM PDT

A few points to consider:

1. When the screenshots first surfaced and this thread was created, there was no word from any official source (Bungie/343i/CertainAffinity) conclusively confirming that the helmet would not at any point be availiable to the community.

2. The helmet's connections to BOBs was confirmed in the caption of a pic of the "homemade" helmet in a BWU.

3. In the next BWU, the screenshot of the "Colbert Armor" was shown, and Bungie was quick to state that the armor did not/would not exist in game.

4. The paragraph confirming the non-existence of the "Colbert Armor" made near-direct reference to the hype about new armor in the community, but did NOT debunk the rumors in the community about the BOB helmet, or any other new armor for that matter.

Why would Bungie squash one rumor and not deal with another related issue at the same time? If the BOB helmet were indeed fake and/or unobtainable, why has it not been definitively debunked and instead cryptically referenced REPEATEDLY?

Conclusion: The helmet exists, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the near future, probably when 343i takes the reigns officially.

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


What if we replace "Grunts" with "BOBs" here? It -might- not even be specific BOBs.

Yet we don't have any idea when that will be, do we?

:/ The whole "hype" (if you can still call it that) behind this helmet won't be so big once the Halo:CE remake is shown at E3.

According to the last BWU the Reach change of hands between Bungie and 343 may be sooner than we think. And I thought I heard that 343 wasn't going to be making an official appearance at E3. But they are hosting something in August called Halofest, maybe they will do something big then.

Too bad, Colbert armor was something that I would actually pay good money for.

"If you want to test a man's character, give him power" -- Abraham Lincoln

The one picture is fake. The sniper the character is holding has a round scope. The sniper scope is not round. The gun also does not look real in general. Even if the helmet's real, I think that picture was photoshopped. Terrible job with the sniper rifle.

Umm... the lens that you look in is rectangular, but the other side is round, trust me, we've compared and looked, the sniper is real. Here's a pic of the sniper, approved by Bungie.

TL;DR: This is a shop. I can tell because of the pixels and having seen quite a few shops in my day.

I say the above stuff is wrong.
