I have a question for all of the giddy and excited people here. If there is armor included in the map pack, why isn't Micro$oft advertising the ever-loving cow pie out of it? If there IS new armor, it's a gimmick to get you to buy the map pack. Gimmicks don't make money if they're secret, they only work when people know about them.

The reasonable thing to do is wait for someone to make an official announcement one way or the other. The map pack will be out in March, it should be pretty clear by then.

go back a few pages and read mate but you are right, only time will tell - but it does not explain the 'new armor' thats clearly shown... unless its just a dev thing

i hope its real....just seems to real to be fake

  • 02.16.2011 7:58 AM PDT

Oh My God StupidRandomGuy Was Here, Thats Just Awesome!!!
=D

it kind of looks like the rouge helmet of halo 3 and its morphed into GUNGNIR. i hope its a new helmet and i bet its a load of credits to.

Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

I totally get where people are coming from when they say it's from a dev build. This has as much validity as any other theory put forth in this thread. This could go any number of ways, and that's what makes it exciting. Many of the theories put forth in this thread will be resolved in a soon as two weeks. How often do we get to close the book on a topic as big as "new armor in Reach"?

Here's my thing...
To the best of my knowledge Bungie has never mistakenly included non-produciton material in a press release. Why now all of a sudden? The whole thing is suspect and therein lies the fun. Enjoy the ride :)

I'll tear you a new one...

*sigh*
This has all been discussed multiple times. It's called viral marketing. They allowed a picture to be released with a new helmet, and there's no way it was an accident. Curious fans check out the picture, post it all over the forums, and the community works itself into a frenzy over it. Based on the amount of posts on this forum (1300+), I would argue that it's working just fine.
They have a month left. They'll start marketing it sooner or later I should think, but for now they're just letting us get all worked up and excited.

True, bungie hasn't... but these maps were made by Certain Affinity and 343i.

I doubt either of those would take the time to make a custom armor they could only use in either that map pack or a special build version of the game <_<.

Nobody ever said new armor was impossible. Just that it couldn't be used on old maps.

  • 02.16.2011 8:29 AM PDT

I am Godlike!

Hmm.... Interesting.....

It can't come on new maps.

I still believe these images are of the dev build version of Halo Reach.

I find it highly unlikely, and improbable that they would respond so quickly to specific questions and be completely honest on the matter.

Of course they wouldn't say "Yes look forward to new armors being unlocked!" until they wanted to announce it.

Didn't evil otto also say something about not everybody at Bungie knows everything that is going on? Was he part of the guys making the armory?

New Helmet:http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz289/xxoACEoxx/Condemned_ Action-2_enlarged.jpg

Also look at the collar


Chest piece is EASY to figure out..

Collar Breacher.

Helmet.. could be anything, it is a terrible angle, and terrible quality.

Helm = cannot be anything currently in armory. None have those silver side pieces, or that large eyepiece.

Chest = cannot be collar breacher. The black raised collar doesn't go completely around the neck.

Edit: I don't recognize the visor shape either.
