Source and who is bsangel?
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.
You people need to stop seriously ASSUMING 343 is changing all of this stuff.
LOOK what people got for ASSUMING LE would not get the two helmets, the console will come with the Fotus armor and Unicorn emblem
> That’s definitely strange, first <mark>the LE’s war games map pass get’s changed to include the helmets and emblem</mark>, now it’s saying console buyers get a skin and not armor…
when was this confirmed? Can you Link?

The source was long ago, chances are that no one is going to be able to find it now. BS Angel is the Community manager of 343 industries and Administrator of these forums. She write the weekly bulletins that you read.

> > 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…

Ok, wow… I can tell you’re just trying to be difficult. We know those armors will have skins b.c. it’s been mentioned by 343i, they mentioned how it will only be SKINS not EXCLUSIVE ARMORS that the retailers are giving away, and retailers have mentioned it too. They don’t need to be included in that video to make people believe there is a skinned version of that armor b.c. 343i/retailers have made that clear.
Sorry for saying ALL of the other armors had variants. I wasn’t that observant about the other armors, just glanced through, b.c. I didn’t really care about them. I posted my observation that FOTUS, in that video, didn’t have a variant so if anything that added to the logic that FOTUS is an armor, not a skin. The video certainly didn’t add any credit to there being a skin version of FOTUS b.c… well there wasn’t one, duh. Too overly complicated, just know that wasn’t my main point. It was an EDIT that I put in b.c. it was a quick thing I noticed. Again, it was not the ‘bread n butter’ of my argument. Thanks for only responding to it though…
The only mention of FOTUS being a skin is from the OP’s links’ descriptions that retailers were given months upon months ago as general information, that are clearly old as dirt and not accurate b.c. why? B.C. The Official Halo website, in an Official Halo Bulletin, makes mention of FOTUS being an exclusive ARMOR. What’s the point of this thread? I can’t believe I had to explain all of this…
Thanks for ignoring the important part of my post, that references fact and truth, and instead focusing on a random observation that I made about the PAX build’s Armor selection (and then you using an unjustified logic to try to act like it proves me wrong). Final post b.c. if you can’t get the truth from my previous posts… you won’t ever.
Ha ha, console people now know how the le people feel.

They also said that armor wouldn’t be locked away from everyone, only skins. Plus bs angel also said that the LE doesn’t come with the War Games Map Pass Bonus Content (while she was right at the time). Things can change.
And one last thing, so one guy notices websites that have had the same description for months upon months upon months, and like I said before OLD WRONG INFORMATION, and now everybody all of a sudden believes that FOTUS is just a skin? Even though 343i has made no mention opposite of the Official Bulletin they posted, that has specific details about the console that reference FOTUS as being an exclusive ARMOR? Again… I completely understand why 343i does NOT post on these forums…
paying $300-400 for just an armor? lol i can easily ebay that -Yoink- for much less!!!
Laughing if this is true. Especially at that person who paid $100 for the Fotus armour code from the console.
Great. I spend $350+ on a limited edition console feeling happy about my purchase completely, only to later on feel like I’ve been kicked in the face not only as a buyer, but as a Halo fan.
The console is still great. Truly, it is. I am stoked for that.
But knowing anybody can get the items that are so-called exclusive?
Are you kidding me? Really, are you kidding me.
Less than 2 WEEKS BEFORE RELEASE they put complete clarification into the fact that the armor is simply a SKIN…is horrible.
I feel even more bad for the people who will not find out about this information that ordered months ago for this.
It was one thing to do this to the limited edition…
even then they clarified from the start that it was a skin.
(oh yeah, just cancelled my pre-order on that by the way)
But this? They change their information to being just a skin, not an armor?
You don’t sell something and then CHANGE it. Things don’t work like that.
I don’t go to the grocery store to buy bananas and go home to find out that they have turned into tomato’s.
To put it perfectly, in the words of Halo?
BETRAYAL!
IF ALL THIS IS JUST CONFUSION?
343 or Microsoft MUST clear this up ASAP.
> Ha ha, console people now know how the le people feel.
Except we’re getting a badass console with badass controllers with 320 gb of memory. While I’m getting the LE game and the LE console, I still feel cheated on the game rather than the console because mainly bought the LE game for the exclusive content and the steelbook was just an extra thing for me. Unlike with the console I bought it because it just looks amazingly -Yoink!-. I’m just getting the LE game anyway because I’ve bought every limited edition halo game that has ever been released

*Original post. Click at your own discretion.
There was no skin variant in the pax prim build withc they said was the whole armory. OP is a jealious troll who cant afoord the console.
I seriously, honestly pity anyone getting the console for the armor.
Really. Re-evaluate your priorities in life if you are pissed at this.
> I don’t go to the grocery store to buy bananas and go home to find out that they have turned into tomato’s.
Dang that happens to me all the time!
Okay this is the first and last time I will post in this thread. The people who come in here and think that it is just a skin need to read some of the pages. Many people in this thread have already proved that it is armor and NOT a simple SKIN.
