Woops, super late response. I was playing Borderlands for the last age so I only just saw this now, but that's genius
I'm not sure what their setup is though, so it might be awkward for them. It'd definitely be cool though.You guys should try and get bsangel to record a dramatic reading of one of the next bulletins for the podcast

Okay, fair enough. I love the armor design itself, I can see how some would take issue with the CG.

Only the Gamestop Pre-order armor was not available lately.
No. Chief looks huge compared to a UNSC Marine in Halo 3. But you are fighting against Brutes, and along Elites who are larger than the Chief. I always thought the Grunts were small. But damn I am only 20cm larger than them.
I'll believe it when I see it. I almost refuse to believe they won't include at least Mk V or VI. People will be too upset.Lets unfortunately talk about something that makes me a sad
I always wear "chief" armor during MP
Specifically Mk V will always be my first choice
but then I saw this tweet awhile back...
This is unforgivable.
Not to blow it out of proportion, but the proportions could not be any larger.
This is such a huge negative for me, I really truly hope he was either misinformed or it wasnt finalized.
Do yall like using the Mk series helmets or do you more often stray and go with another series?
I certainly won't be though
"Prestige" armor for those who finish the MP progression 10 times. Or something like that.
Alternatively, legacy armor, available only to those who've played Halo 2, 3 or Reach online.
Wouldn't be surprised if either of these were the case.
That would be the "Warrior" armor, i guess, the base MJOLNIR GEN 2 armor we've seen so far. http://www.halopedia.org/File:H4-MJOLNIR-GEN2.png

I don't want to believe that tweet is legitimate until it's confirmed for the final build. Maybe he meant in the current build that was shown in the Unsc Weapons Trailer or only the Helmet will be available as unlockable content for MP/SpOps like Reach had but a different variant?

He looks appropriately tall, but he never looks thick, which is what I expect someone who's 390 lbs and in a suit of armor to look like. Unless Master Chief is one of the really lean 390 lbs Spartan IIs.
Look again at Halo 3 Chief, especially in the intro. He is rather wide and tall compared to the marines.
Oddly, he doesn't seem that large in the other cutscenes...

You definitely should be able to unlock Chief's armor for multiplayer.
*glares at you, epic games*
pls don't give 343 Industries any ideas..

You know, I could never stand how skinny the arbiter in halo 3 was compared to the one in wars.
I don't particularly care much about it not being available (although I like the simpler design better than the mess that 343 has shown so far) but the reason why it's not included is silly. Who gives a shit about canon in multiplayer, honestly. I still don't get why they bothered trying to make it canon in the first place. Seems like a waste of effort.
Hopefully it's supported better than they did Noble and Defiant. As of Tuesday, Reach will no longer have a DLC required playlist of note. Only Anniversary Classic (which is only Anni) and Anniversary Firefight, and that last one is a one-map playlist..
In the scope of Reach, Bungie supported 343's DLC better than 343 did, with two separate Defiant-only playlists, so you actually had a playlist for each map pack to get your money's worth. 343 took over and it was basically "you bought noble or defiant? too bad, buy anniversary if you want to use those"
I can't even remember the last time I played Highlands in matchmaking, and that was with me going into Squad DLC. It gets voted away for Tempest or an Anniversary map.

I'd be less annoyed by the (alleged) lack of Mark V/VI if I seen just ONE Spartan helmet that looked cool and wasn't a pre-order exclusive. Just one.
I've been rocking that shit since Halo 2, man...They finally bring the ninja icon back but take away my helmet

Effort? Doesn't seem like much thought or effort went into it to be honest...
"Training Simulation guyz"
I actually brought this up the other day hoping Frank could expound on it a bit better, (how they respawn, is it all holographs etc). But it seems like that's all there is to it.

There ain't a single pre-order exclusive helmet so far, just skins. Even Deadeye helmet isn't pre-order bonus, i think, just the skin.
That said, i wonder why there would be piece-specific skins...
Where's that pre-order "card" for Deadeye...
EDIT it is a skin. http://www.halopedia.org/images/d/d8/Deadeye_Helmet.jpg

I thought he looked very thick in Halo 3 but not in Halo 2. At least he looks great in Halo 4.
I am not sure what you are saying with that part but none of the armor parts are pre-order exclusive. Only the skins are.I'd be less annoyed by the (alleged) lack of Mark V/VI if I seen just ONE Spartan helmet that looked cool and wasn't a pre-order exclusive. Just one.

I see it as a shady way of confirming something. I'm not expecting Master Chiefs helmet in Halo 4 MP.
Also, as of this update, there's a single solitary vanilla playlist left in Reach.
Why even bother with the charade now :lol
You know this is why they make money doing that, right

Does no one consider that you could may unlock the helmet through a specific action during the game or through Halo Waypoint? Like have all Anniversary achievements gain you the Mark V. armor, have all Halo 3 achievements and you get the Mark VI. armor etc.
Giving the vanilla heathens a place to stay. Think of it as humanitarian aid.
The glorious TU has won.
The tweet is from June so it could end up being in the game. Who knows.
Let's delete the only non-Annidisc DLC required playlist left, but keep a dead playlist that's redundant to Team Slayer. Ship it.
I thought that was the only in-store pre-order bonus anyways.

zebra skin!
in all seriousness though, I will be interested in how many, how varied, and how accessible the skins are.
Could be a fun chase to get them, hoping some are tied to campaign achievements, or career challenges or something fun to strive for.
Not just playing a crap load of mp
Team Slayer, I assume?

I do, but this feature was overlooked by many and your idea can be potentially true.

Edit: I "believe" the new Infinity websites could apply to this feature of unlockable content apart from SP, MP, SpOps stats and filesharing.
Hmm Interesting, thanks Blueblur.

As of now, for the first time with Halo DLC, I will be waiting to see if 343 has a system that actually works in implementing DLC into MM before purchasing.
Yup, Team Slayer.
Curious to see how the Standard and Evolved division affects populations of lists in both categories.

If that turns out to be true about the Mk. VI helmet/armor though, hopefully that doesn't eliminate the possibilities of the Mk. V being in the game! MC's armor not appearing in multiplayer makes no canonical sense to me seeing as how it's not like they couldn't make Mk. VII armor to look like MC's armor... I mean it's not like the Spartan IV's have to use MC's ACTUAL armor so that reasoning doesn't really cut it..
I think they need more of this.

Any tips on getting out of the room with the second generator in The Two Betrayals on legendary? It's the one with the flood swarming in.
I have 2 bars of health and they simply overwhelm me.

Dang it, kittens and Aggro, as soon as I log into Reach you guys stop playing. I see how it is.
Edit: I'll join you some other time, HiredN00bs, decided to play something else for a while. Thanks for the invite though.

Most of the population is still just going to press A twice to get into Team Slayer.
I also just noticed that they sent Arena to the bottom of the TU lists :lol
It'll be interesting to see what happens to Anniversary Classic as it'll no longer be the top playlist.

Why is Invasion not TU?
Would it not benefit just as much as the other playlists?

TU is a busted gametype

elites can spawn with needle rifles, in TU the needle rifle becomes an absolute beast. (zero bloom it might as well be a power weapon) at least that's the best thing i can think of.
is there anywhere to read about Megalo? never really heard of it until i got on Gaf
The TU would break Invasion. They've also hinted previously that they can't fit the TU stuff into the Invasion script anyway. Invasion was already at about the limit of Megalo from the start.
edit: Also, to put it another way.. Invasion is Reach's gametype. It wouldn't make much sense to try to make a Reach-native gametype play like previous Halo games.
