I have a feeling 343i will release Armor after release. They were messing with this concept in Halo: Reach with the GRD helmet, but they cancelled it. I have a feeling they’ll be working with this again in Halo 4.
With that, what helmets would you like to come back from previous games?
Personally, I’d love Rogue to come back.
Not going to happen, but I’d like to see Rogue too

Why do you believe it won’t happen? There’s definitely the possibility, especially with it being their own game.

We’ve already had these debates following the Reach TU. Everyone back then was asking why they couldn’t add in more armour.
Something about it requiring a huge update to model in the armour to fit in every map etc. I don’t know the technical details, you’ll have to ask someone else who is a bit more savvy than me.
That being said, I guess it’s possible they already have the armour secretly modelled (and hidden) into the game and will ‘unlock’ it for people at a later date.

They could have fixed the issue with halo 4
It wasnt about the modeling really, it was about the timeframe they would need to model every armors movement into all the maps, it generally takes a bit to get everything texture wise smooth, where no pieces of armor and such clash together/look goofy.
I am hoping they will explore the concept and do some nice DLC, even if its just things like one shoulder piece a Helmet etc. But I would love to see Mark V return with its true glory, Reach didnt really show it to its potential, the Halo 3 model was much better but didnt fit the style of the armor well.
With the team they have, and how many developers they have on hand, I am sure they could work on something extra overtime to throw in with the Map Packs that will be released, but if not I wont be upset over it :P.
Reach’s stem wasn’t made with the idea of DLC armor, which is why it couldn’t be incorporated. With the demand it had in Reach, i’m 99% they made a system that supports that. Scanner and Strider, although most likely on disc, also hint at DLC armor.
IMO armour won’t be released later on, also if there was I wouldn’t buy it just for armour…
(assuming that you have to pay for it which you probably will have to).
Well maybe not physical armor but they prolly will do weapon skin and armor skin dlc’s
I doubt it but I’d love to see MK V return. I’d pay for that gladly.
Every piece of Armor is on the disk. Even FOTUS.
You just need to have a 108kb download for it to be unlocked.
