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

The new map pack is about a month out still. Give it time. They've already planted the seeds with these photos they released. Right now they're just watching the community's response, I'll wager.

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

I posted this in the "other" thread as well...

If my memory serves me correctly, I seem to remember a thread a while back talking about all the dead Spartans on Lone Wolf, and how some of their armor permutations (helmets, chests) were different, and weren't available from the armory.

Could one of these permutations be the same as what we saw in the picture? Probably not, as I don't seem to recognize it, but do these dead spartan permutations give credence to the possible existence of hidden armor permutations????? I know, it's a long shot, but I thought I would just bring this up.

The only things that showed up were hidden Chest pieces and shoulders, though. No new helmets were found from that.

if your enemies are in range, so are you.

So here's a zoomed in version of the helmet. I believe it's a new helmet but I was under the impression that it was either really difficult to put armor as dlc or it couldnt be done.

But here it's clearly a new helmet. Enlarged Image

  • 02.15.2011 2:16 PM PDT

Definitely not in the armory now.

I wonder if Bungie or 343 will comment on this new helmet.

I've gone and compared it to every helmet in the armory, and there is no helmet with the metallic earpieces, the same visor shape, nor with the same helmet top. It's DEFINITELY unique, and definitely not some strange combination of pre-existing helmets.

On a side note, @egasseMterceS: Your armor colors are pretty badass :D

The "so-called" impossible has been done so many times. People said flying was impossible, we're using airlines to go coast-to-coast in a few hours. People said it was impossible to go to the moon, within 18 months of landing we were golfing on it. People said harnessing electricity is impossible, look at what we're using right now. And now we have new fake armor for are fake characters. What are the odds?

that second one looks like an EOD helmet just from the top and cant see the bottom part.

  • 02.15.2011 2:21 PM PDT

if your enemies are in range, so are you.

@RoyalKiller188: thank you!! :)

The top of EOD is always black no matter what color combination, sorry buddy.

Ok, I wasn't entirely sure myself. I though some of their perms were "mash ups" of other armors, but I may be wrong.

Could the developers have modded their helmets? Maybe they're just screwing with us.

I don't think that they would screw with the people who buy their games like that.

As far as entirely new designs are concerned, no, but while nosing around their corpses, I have come across a few helmet attachment combinations that are currently unavailable in the Armory. For instance, I saw an Operator helmet without the, erm...operating equipment, or any other attachments, for that matter.
