I'll tear you a new one...

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.
*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.
