None is because Halo 4 creates a random Spartan IV for you first. *
*Could be true. But I made that up.

Soldier is my guess, unless the LE Recruit is just the armor skin.
Recruit, probably. The current LE listing includes only skin for it, not the armor itself.
Name is suitable for sure.

I second this. give like 4 helmets and stuff and have "default" be random
Proof please?

I agree. Especially since games like CoD and Battlefield do it the way you thought it did, I think it'll just confuse players.
It's not hard at all to understand you got 1 kill which contributed to your score, and along with it came 10 exp.
Just looked - the code DOES work on the console, but it's coming up as $399 for me. Where are you seeing it for $350?
Recruit is first on the list and the icon used for the armory on the menu. I'm guessing that the LE bonus is just the skin, not the armor, and Recruit is default.

All the armour was available in the PAX build, and it wasn't there. There was also a tweet that got everyone up in arms a few weeks back that Master Chief's armour wouldn't be in War Games, which people assumed meant no Chief Mjolnir variants at all.

Im genuinely curious, did you like the Hayabusa armor?

I liked the Hayabusa armor, fuck it, I'll be the only one to say it.

Recruit is just the skin with the LE. Only FOTUS is actually Armor-exclusive I believe. Possibly the Scanner and Strider helmets as well, which I REALLY hope also comes with the LE, so I don't have to also buy the (redundant) DLC Season pass to get them. #completionistwithaproblem

Hey, i liked it too. and probably had that much time in ninja gaiden black myself.
I'm not sure it's even XP. Or if it is, it's XP that fills your personal ordnance meter.
Thursday War Spoilers:
"The Didact sleeps on Requiem and must not be disturbed" - sounds like a warning to me.
Requiem's location is also hidden and it is called "unreachable", whereas the mysterious world Kelekos is reachable without knowing it's position (Portal?).
To me it seems like one of the two (probably the Ur- due to his prolongued contact with the Flood thanks to Faber) must have lost it and was locked away in a max-security/black site before the array was activated (by the second Didact). I don't think he exiled (and put the warning out there) himself, since he "has long since dreamed of this day, reclaimer" - that thing on Requiem wanted to be found, not to be left alone.

Ah, that's what its for. The personal ordnance. Forgot about that. That would make sense then for why the score is 10 points based so that the other points make sense for filling your meter.
Qualify?

Does anyone can post the Thursday Way summary or link me to it? It was taken down I think...
Neat idea but would upset people.
Did not realize that, nice catch.
I didn't realize there was a stigma over one of the best helmets in H3.

Small detail, but I actually really love that the chest pieces also give you different thruster styles on your back. Some of them look SO. SICK.
That was my understanding as well, but this image seemed to convince some people that the armor itself was exclusive.
After seeing it so prominently featured in the PAX build, I'm assuming the wording was a simple mistake, though I still feel the need to qualify my assumption as such.

Yeah, me too. One of the few helmets I really like.

At the time I hated it but I've gotten considerably more lax on aesthetic consistency. Always thought it was ridiculous that among all this sci-fi futuristic military armour you got Shredder's mask with a katana, samurai pauldrons and a chestpiece that looks like a turtleneck.

The way Halo 4 is doing it is exactly like COD. All the points that pop up on your screen are your XP points/individual score, but only 10 (or 100 in COD's case) count for the team score for the kill.
The twist for Halo 4 is in a gametype with personal ordnance drops, your individual score fills your ordnance meter.

I didn't like it, but I didn't not like it.
It was cool, I really liked the shoulders more than anything on the armor.
I liked the shoulders the least, but still really liked it.
Because the others were so great. :/

Halo 3 Security was boss. Loved that visor. Reach's just reminds me of the shrunken head guy from Beetlejuice because they made it smaller but the bodies chunkier.
Damn Halo 3's lighting was awesome!
Can't think of a game afterwards that looked as nice, when it comes to lighting.

Mk.VI is the that generation of armor, not specific to MC. So MC has a customized Mk.VI, not the other way around. So the helmet in multiplayer is Mk.VI
-EDIT-
Ohh you meant it as Cortana-modified Mk.VI - I read it differently lol my bad

That's what I said, the one in campaign was altered by Cortana, it's not in multiplayer.

They never let people run around lookin' like Master Chief in multiplayer. Either it's a different shade of green, or now he's got exclusive armor.

Kinda wish there was secondary portion to some of the helmets that could be toggled like the emblems. The FOTUS would look so bad ass if it didn't have a metal Anal Invader on it.
edit: well, this is a nice top-of-the-page post.

I honestly can't imagine Recruit NOT being the default armor.
It just fits so perfectly, it looks great and neutral.
It is also named "Recruit" which is the initial progression level in Reach.
And the LE bonus is definitely only an Armor Skin, not the armor itself.
"Unique in-game Spartan IV armor skin"
