I'll tear you a new one...

Also, I asked this before, but I didn't really get any response (I assume it was overlooked due to the high frequency of posts on this thread).

Assuming there will in fact be new armor soon, do you guys think it will be released with the new maps, or do you think Bungie has some new challenge they're waiting to announce? After having made us work so hard to lift the rank cap, I get the feeling that Bungie won't just hand us new armor. Thoughts?

Rogue and Hayabusa are making their return along with new vidmasters. Truth.


Real proof, or it didn't happen.

Sorry. but.. without solid evidence.. (Youtube video or the like) this is nothing but lies.

RoyalKiller188, you have a good idea... The Recon armors were GIVEN by Bungie to Halo players that earned it or played and won against Bungie players. This could be another major challenge awaiting us...OOORRR!...
I have heard that playing offline will scramble armor combinations to make some nasty surprises that aren't supposed to occur online. The trailer could be displaying games played offline. food for thought... boy, I'm hungry.

hate to burst your bubble but i've seen the spartan in question

its helmet is EOD its chest is kat's sans the robot arm

every armor premutation is present in the "vanity" armor app that was released awhile back and was made by SIFTING THROUGH THE GAME'S CODE


Look at the left arm.. that is not robotic
remember you msut purchase the NORMAL chest before being able to buy the [R] version

please kiddies, dont become deluded, but asking you little -blam!-s to man up and deal with it is like asking a infant to hotwire a automobile


If there is new armour, I'll be the first person to issue you with an e-slap. Maybe that'll shut your miserable little mouth.

I'm really glad this thread is still going strong. Since I was last on here yesterday, I expected maybe ten, fifteen extra pages to have cropped up at best. But forty! I commend everyone's persistence!

On topic: I believe that additional armor totally fits the theme of this upcoming map pack. I mean, of course there's the whole spite the Covenant aesthetic and backstory behind the maps, but then you have the inclusion of a Firefight map, which defied the scores of forum-prowling nay-sayers who thought that such a DLC was impossible. And now there are two never before seen armor pieces clearly visible in official promotions, standing in mute defiance to all who balked at the very mention of armory additions and scoffed at those who dreamed of the possibility.

This new helmet and chest piece have defiant written all over them, and I can't wait to try them on.

Well, my fingers are crossed at any rate.

The thing is, certain portions of that helmet do not exist on any other helmet. In fact, almost the entire helmet is different than any other, and it's not glitchy looking. There is no accounting for the earpieces, the monocle-like eyepiece, or even the style of the mandibles at the base of the helmet. I just don't see it being a glitch in an offline match.

check out my fileshare for a my original CCS class Covenant battlecruiser for your machinima needs!

I also have invasion and crazy king maps, check it out.

there are no unlocks at FM and Hero and after mythic, naybe that is room for more content, then again bungie is aiming for the casuals who will stop playing at around general and not care about anything else after that.

You all have good points

Seriously? No one else is going to put some thought forward on my question/suggestion?

Whoa... Nice find OP. It looks like the Spartan is wearing a new chest piece too. Look at his collar.


Wow, I was so excited about the helmet I missed the chest piece, you are right.

Possibly, I would actually prefer it if it was a challenge, because then if it doesn't get unlocked by some kind of challenge it is going to get abused and worn by EVERYONE!!!

And then I won't wear it. So, please, introduce a Challenge.

Well, it depends on how much is made available in this map pack, and what in fact is made available. If the armory gets a plethora of new additions in Defiant, then there may be a mix of readily available permutations that are unlocked with the purchase of the pack and those that must be earned through some achievement or challenge, with little things (like new attachments) being freebies/purchasable, and brand-spanking new (and now crazily hyped) armor, like the helmet and chest seen in these screenshots, unlockable through Waypoint.

This is pretty awesome but can we take a minute to really think about this? Ya new armor would be amazing and we'll probably get some sooner or later but how do we know we'll get it now? just cause one random bungie guy was wearing it? its possible he didn't know that exact game would be posted in an epic trailer promoting the new map pack. Regardless of if we get new armor or not in this map pack we should just be happy were getting 3 new awesome looking maps
