Looks like an illegitimate child between EOD & GUNGNIR

Witch you can buy for 400,000 cR when you reach the rank of Mythic.


You mean this?
It's not the same
i dont think thats what he meant... im a general and there isnt a helmet that costs more than 300,000 that i have seen... yet.


That attachment for the GUNGNIR costs 400k. The base costs less.


We've already had a Mythic comment and he said that there's no helmet that even looks like that, plus that doesn't look anything like gungnir, it actually has a visor and some weird monocle thing that gungnir doesn't have and it isn't operator either because the weird lens, camera thing doesn't come down over the visor.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

It looks like the player is looking down, and we're seeing a stripe on top of the helmet, similar to the ODST helmet. It looks as though there is also a monocle attachment that's offset to the right side (from player POV) - similar to something like one of the operator attachments.

Good bye Bungie. Thanks for the best game alive! Hope your other games are like Halo.

After looking at the 6400x600 picture then blew up up another 200% The helmet has a monocle on the right part of the visor, there is a ring around the neck (Don't know what that's about), it has breathers, it has things on the side of the helmet that look like this (_), the gungnir eye piece above the monocle, it's visor looks like the visor slit on the scout helmet, and has the military police shape.

Tucker - Bow chicka bow wow
Caboose - Hey chicka bump bump
Elites - Bow chicka honk honk

If we do then it proves so many people wrong, people always say stuff like "they have to bring out as a new game for it blah blah moo"

The pictures are not photoshopped. They appear on the Halo Waypoint website.

Clearly Photoshoped . . .

For those who say it's Gungnir, here's what a red gungnir helmet looks like from the same angle http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=139891 98&player=killrraider13 It is definitely not Gungnir and if it is that with an attachment, then that is the biggest most complicated attachment I've ever seen.

There's no way that it's photoshopped because it's on Halo Waypoint, the only other explanation I can think of for that helmet being there and not being available for the public is that the creators made that for themselves for custom games, and that would be a HUUUUGGGGEEEE middle finger to the community dont'cha think?

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

It'll probably unlock via Waypoint.

At first I thought it was EOD ... but it's not, or Gungnir. How did you spot that? :O
Looks currently like armour may be joining Firefight maps in the "impossible to add" (acording to forums) added stuff. I for one find it hard to believe they did all that artwork of gear out that's in the guide and didn't add most of the best stuff. Also, there's VERY little at the top ranks.

I saw another thread, a Bungie employee said that gear couldn't be added with maps. He would surely have just said that gear couldn't be added if that was the case, no be so specific. It implies that it can be done in some way.

Anybody else realize that all those pictures are bad. "hint hint"

Maybe that Bungie employee wasn't telling us the whole story because Bungie and 343 didn't want anyone to find out.

If you mean poor quality Shark - where the hell would he get a clean screenshot from? :p It's not like there's a "leaks" section on the homepage with HD images.

Why would they be scared of people knowing that no armour was coming? That makes no sense : ? The forum smart-asses have been telling us that for months.

While we're on the subject - what chest is he wearing? There's like an all round collar segment visible, ring any bells?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Definitely a new helmet. Too bad we might only get to see it on the new maps.

I'll tear you a new one...

At this point, it is pretty obvious to the more reasonable people on these forums that the armor permutation here is new. It is very clearly a part of a viral marketing strategy, which is definitely succeeding (judging by the 800+ responses on this thread alone).

Bungie has dropped hints here and there saying there could be "more" waiting to be unlocked. It is not at all unlikely that they did not include more armor permutations in the disc. People will claim that hackers would have found them already, but that's obviously wrong. Have you seen people hacking the custom armor belonging to Noble Team (Jorge's red visor, Kat's custom chest & helmet, and Jun's arm knife)? No, you haven't. Nor have you seen people hacking the flaming helmet, the Recon helmet with supplementary plating, or the elite officer armor.
If you can't agree about this by now, then I am afraid to say that you are fairly dense.

Now that we've established that much, I have a question about all this:
How high of a rank do you think a player would have to be in order to purchase the new permutations from the armory? If it's anything higher than a General (which seems the most logical initially), then this armor won't even be accessible to the vast majority of Halo players anyway. However, I would also imagine that there would be some armor for lower ranks as well. I can't really figure out this particular aspect of the whole thing.

Just like the legendary ending huh?

  • 02.15.2011 1:59 PM PDT

Well, it makes sense doesn't it, the community has been crying out for more armor, there's a large rank gap with no armor, everything's pointed to this eventuality

  • 02.15.2011 2:01 PM PDT

I even have a face view of every single helmet in-game. Every time you think "ah it's like that" you realise it's not, there's no x or y. This is new. Same with the chest.

  • 02.15.2011 2:01 PM PDT

No other helmet has a stripe on top when you're playing team-based games. ODST has a stripe on top, which turns team color during the game, and GUNGNIR doesn't have a stripe on top. This is definitely a new helmet.

Nor does any other chest have a ring around the top like that one. This is a new chest too.

  • 02.15.2011 2:02 PM PDT

youd think if they were releasing new armor they would promote so they can sell the map pack more... i have about 1530000 cr saved for iw but i might hold off to see the out come
