I sent Urk a message asking if he or Bungie would please comment on this helmet in some way, and said "I fear a few brains may explode if this goes on much longer."

His response? "Who am I to prevent a few brains from exploding?"

So elusive. I don't know what to make of it.
lol

I'm not kidding!
We know

I'm sure you aren't. Bungie will most likely keep it to themselves though as they aren't prone to releasing any NEW info until tomorrow.

I hope they confirm this! And if not.... I'll be heartbroken...

oh shush, a map pack is still a map pack whether or not it contains new armor.

Been a Bungie fan since the days of Myth TFL.

Okay, suspicion confirmed. Bungie is up to something. It might be as simple as a sadism, but I they've got a plan and they're sticking to it. I'm convinced, but in no way claim to be any more 'right' than any of hte other theories floating around here. This is fun. :)

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.

I find the fact that the servers are down rather strange....i know this is OT but why with the shut down?

i hope its for repairs, its almost impossible for me to play a game without a host migration

Ok. After reading every single one of these pages, I feel obligated to give my two cents.

First off, Let us stop comparing Downloadable Content and Armor. Like Shock said, if Armor is released through Downloadable Content, it will only be available on the maps that it was released with which brings about numerous disputes about linearity. Bungie is not going to make users download 9GB to incorporate new Armor through DLC. Tangibly, new maps are the only feature available for DLC (not counting permission files).

I strongly believe that the only remaining argument boils down to Disc Locked Content, meaning certain extras, bonuses, rewards, etc, all pertaining to new Armor. Some have said "Oh, hackers and modders found all possible Armor in the coding so nothing is going to happen," however, if it's in the game, it's in the game. Have the hackers and modders found Jorge's red visor, Kat's default chest piece with robotic arm, Jun's right shoulder knife, etc? This argument goes hand in hand with the fact that hackers have not been able to access the Flaming Helmet, Elite Officer permutation, or Recon Helmet w/ attachment. Every single one of you that refuted this has merely guessed that "hackers have found these special permissible files already". And although irrelevant, shouldn't the ranks Mythic through Inheritor be rewarded for putting such determination and time in the game with more unique/rare Armor? If I ever get to Inheritor, I don't want to look like your everyday General, I want to look like a fckn Inheritor.

Since Bnet is full of incompetence, immaturity, and idiocy, I would like to somehow figure out if a hacker, or ANY hacker for that matter, uncovered Bungie's Pre-order and Legendary Armor from delving into code.

Personally, I would love new (to the Armory) Armor. I'm optimistically rooting that Bungie is pulling a wildcard and surprising the community since all we have done since the release is complain and nag.

Once again, we know that new Armor cannot be downloaded. We know that there is Disc Locked Content (unless immaculately disproven) that requires certain permissions to be granted access to. We are trying to be optimistic (most of us), solely because new Armor is more Armor is cool Armor is ugly Armor is more unique Armor.

And above all, most importantly:

We know that this helmet isn't fckn EOD or GUNGNIR.

TL;DR - Read it.

Thanks for listening.






Quoted for absolute, complete and utter truth. This short response actually makes me feel somewhat inferior, which is a rare thing to happen to me.


For the people who are too lazy to read the past 80 pages, here is what you need to know.

The hyperlink to'Some Rights' states that work can be adapt before being published. So while it says Major Nelson has ownership- it still doesn't rule out editing via another person.

the same pics are on waypoint as well

True, but editing can't be ruled out from the ones I've seen up close. Ah well, time will tell what becomes of this.
Only thing I can strongly disagree to is the idea that the armour is already contained within our Halo: Reach copies- surely modders and hackers would have torn apart and combed through every file contained on the disc, we would of known by now if that was the case.

check the quotes above as well as a post i made on page 21 concerning this

An intriguing explanation, I'm going to have to research some more on that when I come back online. Thread's been saved
