While I'm excited for the tease of addable armor, I can't help but notice the weird spikey things coming from the Spartan's chin/face in the first picture.


erm... have you actually played reach? the spikey things as you call them are needle rife projectiles

  • 02.15.2011 4:31 PM PDT

Have you noticed the needles look more purple then before? Maybe there is new weapons too!?

  • 02.15.2011 4:39 PM PDT

Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

Best thread, ever.

  • 02.15.2011 4:41 PM PDT

Maybe it's like the glitch with holograms and on lone wolf. The armor is already in the game, it just hasn't been unlocked yet. Maybe with the new map pack they will unlock it to the public.

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.

we're all masochists, deal with it

holograms don't shoot, nor do they have shields

I'm bored.

Looking again, I do see that. Didn't look like it at first to me.

Has anyone considered that 343 found a way to deliver armor without taking up as much disc space?


Nope. In no way is this Map Pack related to 343. Reach is still Bungie's baby and that hasn't changed despite what some of the haters out there might wish.
Except Bungie didn't make the Defiant Map Pack. I guess Certain Affinity could have been given the rights to add new armor, but I feel it's pretty far-fetched.

However, I am confronted with this counfoundedly confusing picture of a helmet not recognized...

  • 02.15.2011 5:01 PM PDT

3 simple things that aren't really argueable:

. It has little silver bolt shaped parts on the back end, no other helmet does, especially not EOD or Gungnir
. EOD has a dip in the middle of the "peak/crest". This very clearly doesn't.
. Gungnir doesn't have a visor and the lens is on the other side.

No need to even start discussing the curve and dimensions of the visor or the double lenses.

Remember folks, there are helmets seen in the menus of the game (I believe the firefight menu, though it could be the custom games menu...) that are not in the game. Perhaps those are coming, too?

UWG

So here's something you might not have noticed...I know I didn't, I was too dumb to notice after having these same two pictures slammed in my face repeatedly on here...but uh, the guy's Character Model with the "New Helmet"...yeah, in both pictures, that Character Model is the only one to be customized whatsoever...all others are Default...can't help but sense this whole Hype was planned from those pictures...

One thing that strikes me repeatedly is the artwork in the guide books. Some of the best pieces, amazing gear, isn't in the game yet. Seriously, Bungie wouldn't leave them out without reason, they're fully designed and all.

you talking about the walkthrough guide book?

  • 02.15.2011 5:11 PM PDT

I presume this is new armor because it is clearly nothing ive seen in reach so far.

  • 02.15.2011 5:12 PM PDT

Yup I think so, big hardback thing, lot of artwork.

  • 02.15.2011 5:13 PM PDT

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Number one is impossible. Hackers would have found it before the games release because by hacking you have access to everything in the game.

i've brought this up before, if Hackers could have access to disk locked content before the release of the game, why could they not access the pre-order and edition exclusives? because they are locked by permission files that are unique to each armour set. these permission files have counter files that can be accessed through the key that you get with the your game (the inserts). the counter files cannot be accessed any other way because they are locked down until release, when the code is sent out, which then allows hackers to duplicate the file and access the armour. these counter files can only be duplicated when the file is released, and since the counter file for this armour (if it is unlocked this way) has not been released to the public, it cannot be duplicated

also for the hackers that got early copies of the maps, if the counter file is part of the download, they would not have received it due to the fact that the official release maps would not have this file coded into them yet

That or like the CQB and Military Police Helmets, it is only unlocked by means of Waypoint. See the 343 connection there?

  • 02.15.2011 5:19 PM PDT

to be honest, it looks like the MP helmet in one of the pics to me, just with some weird attachments. Which BTW, its retarded that attachments are limited to certain helmets. who knows, maybe this new pack will allow for more attachments leading to different looks on different helmets? I mean to me it looks like MP helmet with the EOD mouth things. just sayin

  • 02.15.2011 5:22 PM PDT

This could be like .... 343 Bumchum armour set.

The hackers couldn't access the armor in game, but they could still see that it existed....just saying....

You misunderstood me. I'm saying that 343 will release the armor with the map pack. But you have to obtain certain achievements in the game. That's what I meant. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Not if it was called some thing else to throw the hackers off and keep it secret!!!!!!

guys, this is what ive been sayin forever- with DLC ACHIEVEMENTS, DLC ARMOR could be made possible through WAYPOINT. maybe 343 wants to put their mark in Reach not only through maps but through armor. People say it'd take forever to embed new armor into the codes- but would it really? do you KNOW 343 or BNG hasnt been working on new armor? do you NOT see an unidentified helmet in the OP's pics?
