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.
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.
