Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this next playlist update. With Action Sack, Classic Slayer, and the Defiant Map Pack playlist, I think this game will continue to become more fun every day. By the way, what do you guys think is better:

1) Condemned (default variant)

2) Uplink (Condemned variant the two Sniper Rifles replaced with DMRs and metal doors covering the top halfs of the two upper shield doors)

havent played condemned yet so i can't judge

i must say the action sack games sound quite fun, power slayer and speedpile being the ones that interest me most


Do you think that this update is kind of incorporated with the Defiant achievements a bit, I mean, the Candy from a Baby achievement sounds really hard, but in speedpile it sounds a bit easier. BTW I think hammerball interests me most, it's like hockey except really violent, oh wait...

If they were gonna put new helms in,then they would of told of first. right?

Okay, people. I'm really confused. What is going on with this "new armor"? Was it all just a ingenious photoshop legend? Or is this really happening?

It's definitely not a photoshop and we're pretty sure it's coming. We just don't have any exact or even general date down. We're going to have to wait for either an announcement or if they decide to surprise it on us.

You seem to put alot of thought into this post OP nice job from what I can tell it is some sort of easter egg type thing or maybe a certain Prerequisite has to be met like buying all the helmets for haunted helmet

They haven't openly confirmed nor denied the existence of new armor, and people want answers, they're going to have to give us a straight answer at some point. They might be working out some of the kinks that the new armor might have with MM.

Except the haunted helm actually tells you what to do to get it, for this new armor we have no idea. If it's given to the community when we see the first online inheritor, then I'm cheering on those no-lifers xXSAVI0RS0ULXx and cloudspider.

Just so you know, Saviorsoul is an inspiration to us all. If you're lucky you'll grow up to be half the man he is. On top of that he's really pro. Kids just wanna hate. Every day it's the same hate.


He's a sniper hog. I played a match with him once and it's practically the only gun he used in the match. It's true, check his stats.

I know, but if the first inheritor will get us armor I say everyone hand him the sniper.

Feel the power of limitless zeroes!

I've been following this thread for quite a few days now and my how it has grown! After getting Defiant and it not being auto-unlocked I was disappointed. however I then watched Majors Minute for this week and he said something about a Halo Waypoint update.....just like when Reach launched and you could get MP and CQB armor....so my thoughts are this: after this Halo Waypoint update there will be NEW armor available through HW after you Get either the Defiant Achievements OR some other achievements on reach Or possibly reach a certain rank on waypoint.Just my thoughts but...it could happen right? Since 343 and CA worked in tandem on the DMP and Waypoint is by 343 then that would make sense that 343 could have either given them the armor "just because" or maybe to test that it worked at all in game.

It would make sense, but I still want to have some armor that's buyable in the armory so there's a little variety in the new armor and we don't have a bunch of Halo clones running around. But I suppose I'll have to be patient as adding armor seems to be a fairly new technology.

Ya true on one hand having it in waypoint would be great but personally I think it would be cool to do a throwback to recon in Halo 3 and have it unlocked by some achievements and then you would get it with a little bit of credits that way it still takes some skill and some credits to buy the helmet and it would kinda find a medium to all the suggestions

I'd want a mix, so there's new buyable armor, but also one really badass armor set that requires a vidmaster to unlock. If that were the case I'd probably mix the new buyable armor with the vidmaster, but still keep the vidmaster helmet on. (depending on the badassitude of the helmet as compared to other new helmets.)

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.

agreed, always nice to have a good combination when it comes to armour

This may sound silly and un-informed but perhaps the rank inheritor's name means something, not just for the one person and not just for haunted, but for ZOMG NEW ARMURS!!!111!!!

"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. And let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark, and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure. Sacrifice, an unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight... was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."

Maybe the new helmet is just an old Helmet (EOD?) that only changes on a certain map? Like Uplink under special circumstances?
