Oh man, this is getting good. First, people said no FF DLC was possible. And here we are, looking at a shiny new FF map. People said no armor DLC was possible. And yet here we are, looking at a helmet and chest plate that matches no other.
Wait, when did people say FF DLC isn't possible?

Armory DLC's are not impossible, however, are very unlikely as said by Evil Otto.

Also, didn't see a chest piece, only the helmet.

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.

Not in a simple patch or update. Each map file in the game has all the content embedded in it. If we were to create new armor, it would either only be available in any new maps that get made after that point, or we would have to send out new map files of all the mulipler and singleplayer maps and require about 9 GB of HD storage. This is economically not feasible.


This could be In the game already, we just need to download a unlock file, like the Recon Pre-order helmet.

"If we were to create new armor, it would either only be available in any new maps that get made after that point"

Read, its available only in new maps, so if this armor is new, you will only be able to use/see it in new maps.

I brought up this subject like 2 weeks ago and got flamed like all hell. I hope hope hope there is Armor DLC so I can laugh in Shock's face.

It's is pretty much impossible to download new armour, but this may already be in the game like the Pre-Order Recon helmet, where you download a "Key" to unlock it.

Its hard to believe people still think its not a new helmet/attachment even though there are so many parts of it that are new, also the gungnir eye is smaller isnt red and is on the left hand side, so its not that

unless its on a file share, i dont believe it.
i could shop that in 10min, and also invert the pic to switch sides >____<


It's the original image with no editing.

The whole point to that comment made by that employee is to underline the fact that if any new armor is released, it would be restricted to the new content it came with.

It would have been found by hackers weeks after launch if that were the case.

Posted by: spartannaboy
wow that's weird. i thought it was impossible to add armors.
It's not impossible. It would just be absurdly complicated and time consuming. With the small amount of people Bungie has left to handle Reach, it's probably not in their best interest to spend all the time doing that just for some armor. I much prefer them working on all these MM updates.

We already have that, it's called Military Police.

i don't doubt this, but if the permission file theory is true, then technically we can have armour DLC, its just in a different way than we think

There's a difference between Downloadable Content and Disc Locked Content. This is probably, more or less, Disc Locked Content.

Whether that content will be unlocked or not when the map pack comes out remains to be seen.

Even with an armor DLC, it wouldn't be able to be used on default maps annnnnnyway.

Halo loses to many series, want a list :)

Wasn't there something about saving your cR? Maybe its aimed at new armor.

i've reviewed every armory leak there is , if they had access to this disk locked content, they would have had the recon pre-order, the flaming helmet, and the officer armour, but they didn't because the permission files needed can only be accessed though a download, and without a viable key, this is impossible to do

Let me hear you sound off
Let them know how you feel
If the anger inside is real
Sound off
Long before the bridges are burned
The powers to be are going to hear your words

There's no doubt that has got to be a new helmet and chest piece. There is no current helmet that has that silver cylinder-looking attachment on the back nor the large monocle on the front. Chest piece is also unmatched.

  • 02.14.2011 12:55 PM PDT

My only concern is that those screen shots may be from before Halo Reach was released. Like this image for example. That Blue-tooth piece isn't available in-game for Operator. So maybe that helmet was a concept that they ditched or cut from the game.
