Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

The 343 arrangement with Bungie has been in place since before Reach launched. It's not so hard to believe that they would think more than one DLC ahead. Nowadays four or five seems to be the standard. There are two ways this armor could be explained. Either it was cleverly encoded into obscure files and tucked away for future use, or 343 reserved the rights to add armor DLC and that's why Bungie couldn't. Either option still allows what Evil Otto said to be true - that Bungie can't add new armor etc. - and keeps us guessing, which is probably what 343 is looking for. I mean, if EVERYTHING was announced right away, there's a better chance people would make the decision to forget about it. If the pattern I'm seeing carries through, we can probably expect another 3 or 4 decent slayer maps, the same number of invasion and FF maps, and that's not all that exciting, even with some new armor permutations. But put it inside a mystery box...

LOL it´s the same thing with the "NO DRUGS" signs. You just read "DRUGS", so you do drug yourself. Our mind responds subconciously to these messages. If we had read "NO MORE DLC ARMOR" our mind reads "MORE DLC ARMOR ON IT´S WAY".

This is why you dont see "NO DRUGS" signs on the street anymore.

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.

we're all masochists, deal with it

please stop saying that this is just an old helmet, i'm tired of making comparison photos (even though i only made 2)

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

to be fair, the rogue variant was apparently designed after the fall of the outer colonies. Not that canon dictates logic in this game, but sense not make it do.

Reach was an inner colony.

Yeah - but timeframe wise. I'm not 100% clear, but it sounds like the call to develop Rogue would have gone out around the same time as winter contingency. Meh - not a big deal, or very well supported. Just, a new helmet variant would make more sense.

Radicals ruin the world so give it a break, live a little.

why debate. we will find all of this out in march

Agreed, I hate dabbling around in canon for no real reason.

Tp be fair MK-IV is in the game and that wasn't around till Halo 2 :P
and picture 5 looks like either:
Operator + CNM addon
or Hazop + CNM-I addon

I'm betting on Hazop + CNM-I because look at the side of the helmets, they have the same detailing and they both have the camera thing on the forehead :)

Why do you click that arrow?

I think it is a new helmet. If it is a new helmet it's locked in the disc like the ones from here.
