I don't really care if it's available for us or not. It's just another helmet added into ... or to be added into ... an armoury of helmets.

I just want to know where we are with it. I know some people are saying it doesn't exsist and there are others who say it does.
Some people say it has something to do with the new dolls that are found in the new maps and others say that those dolls are there just too tease us.

Which makes me also think that it's for 343i only.

I think someone saw a game snapshot of it once and all the speculation spawned from that. Not positive, though.

I think a more reasonable explanation is that it was a prototype perhaps that never made it into the final copy of the game?

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

The GRD helmet is helmet resembling a headpiece from Marathon, an old Bungie game.

It was first seen during the Defiant Map Pack's trailers and screenshots.

It was constantly denied by both Bungie and 343.
And then on Bungie Day someone found while watching one of the livestreams from Bungie a Bungie employee going through their Halo: Reach armory and saw that the GRD helmet was listed in-game in their armory.

Still in denial, and both 343 and Bungie never really answer and questions about it.

And now hidden on each of the anniversary maps there is a little SPARTAN teddy bear that has the GRD helmet on.

No one can figure out how to unlock it yet.

It was seen on an add/trailer for the Defiant Map Pack, and a troll thread that stated someone saw it in a person armory while they were streaming. Further speculation was thrown about due to the GRD dolls in the Anniversary Map Pack.

There is a thread explaining the entire backstory of the helmet and such.

Link to thread.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Zok Fen Vaat Tol Tey Ol Kruziik Ol tiid Nimaar,

there is no denying that the helmet IS real,

the only thing we dont know is when/if we will ever get it.

It was first seen in a video advertising the Defiant Map Pack. It wasn't very noticeable unless you froze it at a certain frame and zoomed in. After that sighting, IGN posted a picture of the helmet on their site. 343/Bungie hasn't said anything specific about the GRD helmet as of yet. 343i did mention that they thought of bringing extra things into the armory, but that it would mess with the current armory system. They didn't want to do that apparently.

You can also find little teddy bears with the GRD Helmets on them in Anniversary's map pack for Reach. Most likely a way to grieve the fact they never could put it into the game and find some sort of use for the efforts they put into designing them.

People assume they can unlock it.

Key word: "assume".

  • 11.19.2011 8:05 PM PDT

  • 11.19.2011 8:08 PM PDT
