In the video somewhere in this thread, it showed only one version of FOTUS armor. Thus, the armor will likely remain exclusive to console owners.

I really hope that is the case. I did not get the Halo 4 console, I have the Reach console, but I would really feel for people who did and got the FOTUS taken away and made available to everyone. This reminds me of the LE situation with the Recruit armor debacle

On the contrary, I want FOTUS to be remained exclusive. Not every deserves FOTUS. It should be a status symbol even though it looks weird. This game needs to have some exclusivity to separate individuals.

Lol I was agreeing with lol…I think it should stay exclusive to the Console
I can’t believe this has gone on for 5 pages. Ya’ll are ridiculous if all 5 pages haven’t mentioned this… http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/09/19/The-Halo-Bulletin-91912-.aspx
Bottom of the page FROM the OFFICIAL HALO BULLETIN. There is no debate. FOTUS armor IS included as ARMOR, not a skin for the FOTUS armor but one of a kind ARMOR, in the Halo 4 console. Just wow… What website will you believe. The Official Halo Website… or a retailer that just copy/pastes information, and often old information, into a place-holder for the video game of choice. Threads like these make it ever more apparent why 343i doesn’t bother posting on here… 5 pages… lol just lol.
EDIT: This video showcases that unlike all other armors in Halo 4 shown at PAX, FOTUS has no ‘skinned’ version. It is just FOTUS. You can check through the shoulders and chests also and see. Just more information pointing in the direction that FOTUS is an exclusive armor for the Halo 4 console, not a skinned version of an armor everybody gets…
I’m getting the xbox because mine is old and just recently stopped reading discs. The fotus armor was a nice bonus (lol ryme) but I’m not mad, all I care about is halo 4 and DAT XBOX.
Though I am getting the console.edition because I need the stuff, I do find it to be lame. If you advertise the ARMOR to be exclusive since the beginning, it wouldn’t make sense to change it now.
LE armor skin has been a misunderstanding by alot of.people when waypoint said the skin has been the exclusive pre-order. This is a different story: they flat out changed them in the close.to last minute.
I.do kinda agree.with some pros saying it is kinda of a bad move. Since I actually need a new console for myself, this doesn’t entirely bother me. However, I Kay be disappointed that I may not even get to wear the “exclusive” armor on day 1 because of this change.

I’m in almost the exact same situation and all I can say to you is, amen.

So? I did not see the Web skin for CIO, Raptor for Venator, Circuit for Oceanic, or Pulse for Gungnir in that video. Does this mean that these wont be in the full game?
FOTUS armor does look amazing, but I cannot imagine paying 400 only caring about the armor. I care about this kind of stuff as much as the next guy, but anyone who cancels their pre-order for this is either rich or spoiled.
