The Bungie chest plate in Halo 3 that is.

This thread did answered everyone's question, but it still left me wondering.

On July 7th 2010 the Bungie chest was available to everyone for one day only. According to Urk in the thread I linked, Custom code was used so the chest piece can be toggle off.

So if Bungie were to normally release the Bungie chest to the public, this might happen:

Theory: When you go to Halo 3's armory all of the head and shoulder pieces can be changed, but the body plate will be darkened (kinda like you can't press "start matchmaking" without connecting to Xbox Live) thus not allowing you to change the chest because it will be fixed to the "BUNGIE" body only.

I can understand why the community would be pissed off. They won't be able to use any other chest piece.

I remember back in 09, I made a thread in the Reach forum questioning if it was being made to release the Bungie chest in Halo 3. (a stupid noob question I know)

Urk's reply was "My head hurts."

Now I understand why Urk's head hurts, because if Bungie were to release the Bungie body they would have to use a custom code, but this custom code could screw up the entire armory locking every single thing unlocked or it can crash the Halo 3 server. Who knows?

Also I am 100% certain that the Bungie chest does not cause lag. It didn't cause any on Bungie day at least.

So this is why I think Bungie may not release the chest at all.

I thought it was because of the Bungie nameplate this whole time, I was wrong.

I think Nathan Fillion and Pope Rex were test subjects for the custom code and since it's only 2 people they have it forever. Giving it to everyone may cause problems.

Anyway I would like to hear from you guys. What do you think?

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I think they can either unlock the armor for a single person or use the script or whatever that automatically sets it to override said switch. I wouldn't worry about it though because it's Halo 3.

They can try, but it's not so easy for the developers to figure out code completely. Sure they may know code, but from what I heard it's like solving word problems in another language.

So pressures on them.

Maybe Bungie will find a way and maybe they won't.

I'm worried about Halo 3 because I still play it.

Do you even know what you are talking about? There isn't a magic light switch that turns everything on and off.

If only it were that simple.

Well the primary design of that chest piece was for employees only. I don't think it was ever meant to be released to the public, even for a day.

Yeah... I'm that cool.
Robot Academy. Kinda sorta the best group on here.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I doubt they'll release it.

Same here Flee. Same here.

I'm cool if they don't release it though. I rather have Halo 3 working right than have a million sever problems without a fix.
