Debatable Coux, as we do have screenshots of the helmet being worn, just not by any person we can identify.

From that we can glean the helmet does exist. Whether or not you can obtain it is an entirely different story. Searches by modders into game code haven't been fruitful, so it likely doesn't exist in retail copies of the game.

Understood, but the environment in which those shot were taken are unknown as well. It could very well be a development rig, or a demo. Regardless, it's clear that it wasn't worm in any type of XBL MM, as the maps weren't out yet.

My point is that existing in game is a lot different than existing somewhere on a server, or on a dev rig, or some demo disk. Unless it's in game, it doesn't really exist. It's as real as an artists sketch until it makes it way into your armory. It very well could be an idea that could not be implemented.

It was on the definant ad so not just made by some random ...an employee worked long and hard on making this helmet its out there waiting somewhere. In one form or another

Yup ^_^

This had me thinking. So, if I understand how all this works correctly, each piece of armor needs to be coded into every map. So... all of the pics of the "GRD" helm are on the Defiant Map Pack. Not on any default Reach Maps, but on maps made after the game's release made by Certain Affinity. So it would've had to been coded into the map packs made by a second party. Seems like a huge waste of time and money if it can't be implemented in some way. I am also tired and hungover so I am not writing this thought as clearly as I would like. Just mull over it though.

I know it is unreliable, but I believe that nowise10 on youtube commented a response stating that he could find the code with mods but it cannot be obtained as of now.

Pictures of the texture file or it didn't happen I say. If it's on the disk, they'll be a fairly obvious texture map file lying about I would think.

To my knowledge he does not lie, though he may be mistaken. His original guess placed a method to unlock it the unlock in august, which was either wrong, or we just haven't found out how. I will post a link to the video w/ comment when I find it.

We're starting to get back into complete crackpot theories again. The helmet is most likely 99.99% percent unobtainable at all, and if it actually is, it isn't in the game right now to BE unlocked.

If you can get it, ever, it isn't right now. Possibly as future DLC, but again, more than likely not.

hi guys. so what is new?

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. - Joseph Stalin

it's not on the disk, i'm pretty sure that that's been confirmed and all but the most hardline fanatics agree. however, it CAN probally be added in DLC, or via a download, the former of which is more likely, as a download from the marketplace for armor outside of map packs would require more than the GRD helmet, and if there were one, we would've had it months ago.

My bet is it will be in a DLC, or was added for the TU, but if that were true, it would be hard to obtain

  • 12.06.2011 5:51 PM PDT

Listen everyone I can appreciate everyone's theories on the helmet but I also wanted to say I personally believe that we have to put the GRD Dolls somewhere on each of the maps and this is just out of trying to do research myself but recently I noticed that Penance and Installation 04 are the only maps with 3 easter eggs on them so there must be 3 on the others as well that may give us hints on unlocking this thing... just my ideas.

lolnope.

What does this all mean?! Darn you bs angel! Taunting us! Maybe this momentary down time has something to do with this helmet?

They pushed out the weekly update until Thursday too. I don't think it means anything other than schedule maintenance. Waypoint has had some login issues this week, and I think they're addressing them, and updating the website.

Well i saw nothing so screw this helmet.I am done.

Death from Above !

I have now been following this thread (not posting) but reading since i seen it was on page 5, this has been going on for months now with no awnsers only new questions. GRD helmets in new DLC, Bobs in campaign. Screenshots from earlier DLC.

My most biggest bet is that it will just be another damned Recon with Vidmasters.
And we still do not have a legendary ending to the campaign.
There is no way of knowing what is in store for us. But lets just hope its not more damn vidmasters.

  • 12.07.2011 4:31 PM PDT

So I have this theory on how to get the GRD helmet. Its a long shot but just hear me out. On November 15th Halo CEA was released. The day before that, the new Halo Waypoint update was released. On waypoint you can enter the codes seen at the end of the Halo CEA terminals. On the code screen there are tons of unused codes (not seen in terminals, plus theres room to enter 10 characters even though theres only 5 for every terminal. The GRD helmet first appeared in the defiant map pack images. Theres 3 maps in the defiant map pack and 7 in the anniversary map pack. Thats a grand total of 10. I believe that on each map there is a forerunner letter that when entered into the waypoint code screen along with the rest from the other maps, will unlock the GRD helmet. This is just a theory so dont go flaming in the comments about the existince of the GRD. And before you say "Hurr durr we'll never get GRD!", people said the same thing about recon and look at it now.

TLDR; The anniversary maps and defiant maps may contain codes that when enetered into halo waypoint, may unlock the GRD helmet.

  • 12.07.2011 6:06 PM PDT

however unlikely..i like this theory..alot
the secret terminal in waypoint 10 slots
the codes for CEA terminals are 5?
so why the extra slots on the terminal
and some unused symbols
with the unlock from waypoint i think it could be possible
i think this is the most likely theory, maybe not with the maps but the terminal in some way
my mind is set on that it doesnt exsist with a hope for chance it does, this theory seems most relavant to me

  • 12.08.2011 5:09 AM PDT

So after months of searching,we still cant find the GRD helmet, huh?

You still have to add the helmet itself into the game.
Add all the vidmasters you want, it won't add the helmet.
Also, the game has no Legendary ending, this has been confirmed by bungie and how people still believes this baffles me.

If that code magically adds the helmet into the coding of the game then sure, your "theory" holds.
But let's face it, that's not gonna happen.
Your theory doesn't hold.

How do you add the helmet to the game?
I want to hear that.

Never was there to be found.
