Well from looking at the pictures again, the first enlarge picture is showing the spartan shooting at something and coming out of camo, so that can't be a hologram...

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.

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?

Shock made a post stating that it was impossible from what he had dug up, he makes some very good points, as such it's only natural that people would believe him

Firefight maps can be added like any other map though, even Campaign maps could technically be added.

I am hesitant as to why they wouldn't say there is new armor as it would be a major selling point to buy the pack.

even so, remember that Shock was going off information that he discovered, it's easy for him to be misinformed

That is either the EOD or Gungnir, since in both of the pictures you can't see it clearly, you can't really say it's a new helmet. Besides the top of the helmet looks familiar.

I doubt Bungie would make a new helmet since there are people out there that already have 100% armory completion.

from what i have been told and have read, they can not add new armors, due to the way it was coded?


They can but...
1) it would only be one or two pieces at most
2) They'd need to release a compatibility patch to non-armor DLC players so they can play games together
3) The armor images/codes has to be put into every existing map's coding since that is how it displays your armor.
4) It would be a huge update size-wise.

here is his topic, note the last edit was today, so there is no longer information on the Firefight DLC

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


I swear I have addressed this issue literally 15 or so times. This is a problem they ran into on fighting games, all they have to do is put out a free update that is required to play online, making it possible to see all of the armor, but not use it until it is bought. It would be like free advertising and not hard at all.

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...

YAYYYYYYY

I have studied all these pictures carefully and referenced them to my helmets (I have all that are available except Haunted). THAT ISN'T A HELMET IN THE ARMORY. I don't know if it is DLC or if it was just a screw up in the image but I can tell you without a doubt no helmet has that combination of features.

Thinking logically I would assume that Bungie could add in (and they have) new Firefight maps, not sure for campaign, would take more time and money with voice actors and the like, but anyway other games such as World at War and Black Ops have similar game modes to Firefight known as Zombies.

Gears of War 2 has horde (if I remember correctly they had DLC for Horde? Not sure, not a big GoW fan), and if they added maps for that as well I see no reason why Bungie can't add maps to Firefight...

Unless those Zombies and Horde maps were already shipped on the disc waiting to be unlocked...

Also, what about armors? I've seen DLC armor in many games before, the most recent being Dead Space 2 and just like Halo's armor it is partially cosmetic (not including Store discounts and armor strength), some of the DLC armors are basically older armors with a newer skin and/or form.

So why putting in armor for Reach is impossible I'm not sure...then again Dead Space 2 IS a single player game so my argument is in danger of failing for this stance on the armor issue.

I could see a possible update in the future to support new armor permutations regardless of downloading the Defiant Map Pack. Hell, maybe the new armors will just be Free DLC they will put on the Marketplace.

Guess only time will tell here...

But if it's already in the game, they wouldn't need to do that, all they'd need to do is have a key fil which would be downloaded with the map pack, which would then let people see or wear it in the armoury.

The thing is, I'm not sure if there's any armour left on the disc, but modders cannot look at it unless they have the key file anyway so we'll have to wait and see.

disk locked content such as the flaming helmet and officer elite armour do not count towards the 100% completion due to the fact that it cannot be accessed by all players, as such if this is the same, it would not count for it either

1. That number is rounded up, therfore isn't really 100%
2. Secondly if an update with new armor came out, the number would just go down to like 85 or 90% when the update was applied.

Looks like an illegitimate child between EOD & GUNGNIR

Witch you can buy for 400,000 cR when you reach the rank of Mythic.


You mean this?
It's not the same


Its not the same but the helmet OP posted looks like a combination of EOD + GUNGNIR + AWESOMENESS!

I have found something just as good. Look at 1:06, theguy on the mongoose has a recon/pilot mix sorta helmet. Theres definetly new armor (hopefully for elites too!).

  • 02.14.2011 1:42 PM PDT

If it is a new helmet, I hope it won't only be available by pre-ordering the Defiant map pack from a special retailer.

that was in halo 3 Im not sure how it is in reach

Evil Otto said it was still the same, but he could have been wrong.




Evil Otto is My friend! Well I look at him as a friend... he looks at me as that weird kid who follows him around with a camera...

Tag bricypoo your it:D

I would admit a possible random arrangement glitch if the lens looked familiar... It doesn't.

A possible smaller exclusive community build? = Why would they do that and why finish rendering it?

I don't know about that shot but I would like new armor.
Skepticism is healthy on small doses

if you think like a game developer, what better way to get someone to purchase some newly created content then giving them something else they wanted, aka new armour, with it?
