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.

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.

considering how recent these screenshots are (the maps wouldn't have even been coded during the concept stage), it's unlikely it's a cut helmet

Red Team shooting at Griff...
Sarge: Donut your going out of turn!
Donut: What i thought that was my turn?
Sarge: No no no we go in a line, it goes you then me, then Simmons then back down to me then you, then me then me, then Simmons then me Simmons, me Simmons you Simmons me me me Simmons you, me..... then me again... IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

Not impossible just improbable.

How can it be? the screen shots are from the new map pack

Regardless, looks badass.
The black plating around the neck is also unfamiliar.

to bad it is Physically IMPOSSIBLE for them to add new armors.
it's like this say u get the armor with the map pack but what about the kids who dont buy it? unless they had a update that updated the armory this is highly unlogical

  • 02.14.2011 1:03 PM PDT

OK, here's something to think about: what about the black spartan in the pillar of autumn? I mean sure, he has primarily standard armor, but he/she also has a UNSC shoulder plate. If modders are so good and can find any piece of armor that is in the game, why haven't these geniuses found a way to unlock this piece of armor? simple, because there's more armor buried within the game that we can't get to yet or may never be able to get to. as far as explaining how this is possible technological-wise I have no idea, but that piece is there, and nobody has explained this new helmet and chest plate away enough for me to think that anything is impossible at this point, technology changes all the time, maybe certain things Bungie put in the game can be mod-blocked if there is such a thing.

Noble map pack was being worked on since at-least August considering screen-shots of it surfaced back then.

I'll look for those pictures, pretty sure it was a file-share screen-shot?

That's a good point. I haven't seen any modders with a knife on their shoulder like Jun or a wrist attachment on their right forearm.

think about the exclusive recon attachment and the flaming helmet. these are in the game, but players who did not recieve codes for these cannot access them in the armory. if 343i released a file with this map pack that gave us all access to these armour pieces, everyone can now use it

Hey, if you are a Hero like me, do you unlock it ass soon as you download it or do I have to buy it with my precious cR?

if it requires access from a special file, it would not require a rank or payment of credits for use

wow, i just realized that i'm basically thinking like Shock now

This, it's pretty much impossible to download new armour, but it's possible to download a key file to unlock it like the Officer, Recon or Flaming armours.

I think this is another picture of the armor but it's in fading hologram form. http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/194036-/Condemned_%20Action%2 04-noscale.jpg

idk, but he would probably be giving either 1 of two responses

1. same as me
2. armour cannot be added

I would love that so much, just to prove all the people who said it impossible wrong |:)


That would be freakin' hilarious!!! Here's to hoping:)

That's Mark V [b], look at the guy on the right and compare the outline. It was obviously his Hologram.

it could also be a guy spawning in, it has the same animation

Your resident explosives and heavy ordinance expert, at your service.

After looking at that, all I can really say is that those helmets are not glitched and smashed together EOD and Gungnir helms. There are too many differences between them that there are little to no resemblance to the afore mentioned helmets.

I can't really tell what they could be though... new helmets for the map pack? something available only for the testers while testing those maps? who knows.

"There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?"

- In support for Halo 2's final days of Xbox Live.

Hmm I'm wondering if this is armor that would need to be unlock by achievement via Halo Waypoint maybe? or as everyone been saying new armor... I don't know anymore what to believe except that this is starting to become tedious war now.

Yeah I just realised it looks like his Hologram was holding a sword. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Bungie or 343i says then.

  • 02.14.2011 1:23 PM PDT

Believe

it looks like more add ons for the armor we already have. now that'd be pretty neato.

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, why did people think Firefight maps were impossible to put into the game...

That doesn't even make sense, are you people really THAT gullible?
