Found this - no idea whether it’s legit or not:

Same guy apparently did the Orbital suit, and worked on the likes of Mass Effect 3 - make of all this what you will. Could be another hidden unlockable like the ‘Raider/Raider DSTT’ suits, part of a future armour DLC pack, or just high-grade fan art…?
You really can’t see if it’s legit or not?
Hope to God its real. That looks awesome as hell.
Sigh.

Venator = new Hayabusa.
Looks like an expected design 343 would make even though its fake. Definitely fits in with the other armors.

Also, the artist works for Liquid Dev and lists the past-titles that he’s worked on (Halo 4 isn’t in the list).
Idk maybe its fake maybe its not.
> Venator = new Hayabusa
I disagree. It looks nothing like it nor seems to even emulate or act as its successor. I say Raider and DSTT = new Hayabusa.
Cool find though. Might be unlockable (though I doubt it unless its a future DLC) as a waypoint armor using the glyphs later on as I’m sure there are glyphs aplenty to be found in the new Ops 6-10 as well as the other 2 map packs we know of, we’ll just have to wait and see.

…and that means what exactly? Read the artist comments for some of these - all of which are high/low-poly versions of suits as they appear in-game. I.e., not fan-art.

True enough that the artist in question hasn’t listed Halo 4 on their online resume, but considering that most (if not all) of the armour art chores were handled by the team at Liquid Development, and many other such artists list Halo 4 under their ‘projects worked on’:

Finally, from the same guy who did the Hayabusa suit, there are similar models for the Orbital and (partially) Tracker suits:

Again, all this could be meaningless, and it’s just professional-level fan-art from a member of the Liquid Dev team who may or may not have had a hand in Halo 4. But if it is genuine, it certainly holds up to the same degree of scrutiny as similar work that’s bona fide.
If it is real it is almost certainly going to be a “glyph” unlock for waypoint. with a high requirement like the “Raider DSTT” Armor set.
one can only hope its real
Wow amazing!
Looks cool, but if it IS real (even though it looks like a toy in that picture) it wouldn’t be named hayabusa, since that was a cameo of a fighting game, since they (ninja gaiden I think?) let you play as a spartan in that game.
We already have a Halo 4 version of Hayabusa, it’s called Raider. Secret ninja armor was replaced by secret Samurai armor.
Those look interesting though, ugly but interesting.
One can only hope that will make it into the game I miss hayabusa from halo 3.
Can’t remake Hayabusa because it was from ninja gaiden and they let bungie use the armor for halo 3 only.
Eww…
> Can’t remake Hayabusa because it was from ninja gaiden and they let bungie use the armor for halo 3 only.
But bungie made the armor for halo 3 so bungie owns the armor so bungie could of done anything with the armor. Yes the armor was made because team ninja had a spartan in DoA 4 and so bungie made the armor after ryu hayabusa but since bungie made the armor they had full rights to the armor and could do anything with it but they can not name it hayabusa because of copyrights. But since bungie gave everything to 343 its up to 343 for the fate of the armor.
I like the Shoulder Armor, and the Chest Plate, those both look well done, not much for the head though.
> Can’t remake Hayabusa because it was from ninja gaiden and they let bungie use the armor for halo 3 only.
It was most probably a thank-you or tribute from Bungie to Team Ninja for allowing Nicole-458 into Dead Or Alive 4. It is unlikely (not impossible, though) the armour will be coming back, unfortunately. It would be cool though!
