Subject: New helmet spotted in Defiant Map pack

You might have just sold me on the idea with the "big large" picture...

That's a very convincing photo.

Either that or the most painstakingly done photoshop in the history of fakes.

Nice job, although i can't say i actually like the look of the helmet xD

Here's my theory, first the creators give us only a little new armor, like a couple of helmets and a few chestpieces. They sit back for a while and see how the community reacts and how many people respond. Then if enough people want more then they can add it, but start charging for armor packs. That way they don't necessarily have to commit to making more armor unless the majority of the community would be willing to pay for it. (Although I hope it's all free, but unfortunately nothing in life is free anymore)



it wouldnt work that way thought...it would all have to be free if you didnt download the armor pack how would you be able to see the files if some one els was wearing them?


Everyone downloads a mandatory update that takes up little space so they can see the new armor files, only people who buy a download will get a key to unlock the armor.

So the 'new armor' is already in the game, according to urk? Either way it looks quite awesome on the official screenshot. :)

Short but Sweet

Is it not possible that for the new firefight map you will have an AI spartan with you and he/she has this supposed new armor?

Hey, now!

This is officially either the greatest or worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. I'm going with the former.

Bungie has confirmed there will be no new armor in the Defiant Map Pack.

1) That's not Bungie, that's 343.

2) It says there's no armor coming WITH the pack. It is very likely that it is already on the disc, and that the map pack merely unlocks it for purchase.

Bungie has nothing to do with the map pack. Certain Affinity made it and 343i is publishing it.

And when the source said no new armor is included with the pack, I'd assume that means there is no new armor included with the pack.

Yes, I know Certain Affinity made it. You were the one who said that it was Bungie confirming it, not me. Look up a few posts.

And yes, when it says there is none INCLUDED, that means there is no armor on/in the pack, but merely a unlock "code" that unlocks it from the Reach disc that you and I have.

if they ever add new armors they should had some for elites cuz imo they they got the shorter end of the stick in reach or w/e the hell the expression but anyway one armor that imo they could of added no problem is the Arbitor armor considering in the story that armor is an old elite armor so why wouldnt it be in reach but anyway they could also just add all the other armors u could have in halo 3 just to please every1 and one that would be kinda cool if u ask me is to have the elite that has a broken jaws or 2 broken jaws w/e in the white armor in halo 2 and 3 and make is armor the way it is in in those halo like the way its made just need to apply it to the sort of new elite body in reach with details refined obviously now that would be a bad ass elite if u ask me

It kinda looks like EOD,but it would be nice to get new armour.

  • 02.27.2011 9:29 AM PDT

The helmet is obviously disc locked. Bungie says there is no new armor. Well thats true, the helmet is not new, its already on the disc. it will most likely become available in the armory when the maps come out.

check somewhere near the end of the vid. I trust frank over bs angel any day about halo.

If there isn't any armour coming with the DLC, it most likely will be from an update or something that will be released alongside the map pack.

watched the video! it sounds like he was trying to say they are not built in the map pack but then stopped himself and just said just play it!! all i get is its not built in....stutter ramble just play it

either way new armor is there when its released is up to them!!! as for most ppl in here they havnt even unlocked the armor in the armory let alone worry bout anything else .... soo go play!

Do you have the link to that thread?
ive edited my post theres a link in it now




the 343 guy states ---- "But then it wouldn't be a mystery anymore!

Seriously though, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you, and that goes against everything I believe in. Ya know, because of the whole 'having to put effort into it' thing."

Maybe the new helmet is Disc locked. I dunno, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.
