Never underestimate or overestimate Bungie... they have a way of doing whatever they wish or saying whatever they wish... kinda like Q.

I GOT THE REFERENCE!


Hehe, me too!
Suppose Gamma has a point with Bungie suprises. They could have multitudes of things waiting to be unleashed to assualt the community. But at least there's solid evidence of what we can expect for the defiant map pack.

If there isn't new armor in the new map pack there definately will be later. I mean what are inheritors supposed to do with more credits than possible to spend!

There's something not right here, whenever Bungie, 343i or bs angel mention the armor, they always use the words "no NEW armor" which leads me to believe that we will see more armor but it's already on the disc.

Something caught my attention that bs angel said, she mentioned something about time and hard work, I'm guessing something to do with finding all those elusive BOB's, what are they doing on Reach and more to the point why are we told to "kill them all" ?

"Quotes are cliche!" -Meh

Ok heres a recap.
In the BWU, Bungie explains that certain affinity with supervision from 343 (curse them), made defiant, and that Bungie had nothing to do with it (sadly). In this fact, Bungie, or mainly Urk, knows nothing of the map pack and what certain affinity (or 343 [curse them]) are doing. This suggests that Bungie, or just Urk, did not make the new armor, which is in fact real, and not photoshopped.
Also in the update, Urk has a quote from 343 themselves, "there will be no new armor IN THE DEFIANT MAP PACK." This suggest many things, such as:
1. The new armor (which is real) is coming later.
2. The new armor will come in the system update, which has been rumored, NOT the map pack itself.
3. The new armor is actually old, and hidden in the disc. Lets squash this speculation now. If Bungie didn't make the helmet, or at least urk, then it would not be in the disc, 343 had nothing to do with the final product (assuming 343 made the new armor). Also, hackers would have gotten at it.
4. The armor is fake and never coming (which is a lie, like the cake)
Along with the map pack and media surrounding it, the importants of 343 are acting fishy and watching their words.

True, but what else can they say other than "new"? "There's no additional armor that you haven't already seen in the armory"?

I wouldn't look too far into what they said, or interpret it too much. It could be that we don't figure out what this unidentified helmet is for a long time. Or maybe things become clearer ones the achievements for the new map pack are known.

Who knows?

We all would have thought that we were thinking too hard if somone mentioned that they drove a pelican, but look how that came off.

Same with a seraph, and others.

I'm betting 5,000,000 cR that the new armor will be waypoint unlocks. I'm not betting on whether or not it will cost credits, once unlocked.

No new armor

Name's WIlliam,

For the love of God it's pronounced mister-shag, not misters-hag.

Personally, my optimism about new armor has been quelled. Thought it might be possible, but it is confirmed impossible once again in my mind.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I still believe the armor is in the developer version.

Also with the 5 player firefight, player limits aren't map specific.
Since 343 has access to the source code, they can re/compile the whole game maps and engine with higher settings and for LAN play, there'd be no one complaining about Lockstep's crappy input lag.


There's no new armor, it either means they could be giving everyone the chance to receive the currently locked armor which were unlocked via Waypoint and redeeming codes.

One thing is sure: there's new armor incoming. I mean, this is definitely showcased on purpose on the screenshots, just look at other players armor, only base mark 6 and minors, and only one guy stands out.

You talk as if 343 is bad. I was actually really happy that Bungie didn't make these maps seeing as the current direction their taking. Also, 343's declaration of support for this game gives me confidence in them.

Yeah I know that. No new armor with the Defiant Map Pack. Doesn't says "there'll never be any new armor".

It's not like it's a dumb rumor based on a blurred picture taken of a screen a hundred feet away, there are two clear shots of it. It's largely different from anything we've seen before, and you can hardly have any doubt about that.
