Halo 4 Hayabusa Armor Concept Art

| Greetings OPs and otherwise!
There seem to be a lot of rumors floating around that the Hayabusa armor was/is returning to Halo 4. I decided to do some digging and found a few things of interest.

A while back I had been looking for Halo concept art on a site called Deviant Art.
In my search I came upon a fellow who was the designer of both the Fotus and Rogue armor sets.
I decided to keep an eye on him for later research and to my surprise it came in hand.

I’ve found out that 343i worked in conjunction with the company called Liquid Development to commission several talented 3D rendering artists, to help create certain armor sets. (I.e. Rogue, Fotus, Orbital…) After learning about the the possibility of the Hayabusa permutation rumors, I decided to ask “Poly” about it.
As it turns out the armor was produced but not in the final game release.

You can find the concept art here!

> Halo4Hayabusa: “Everyone is wondering if the Hayabusa armor you made is in the game. By the way it’s just a beast.”
>
> Adshish Parashar: “Unfortunately because of some legal reasons it was not added to the game this time.”
>
>
> Sadly, it looks like Hayabusa will NOT be making it in Halo 4. :frowning:

Thank you OPMANN for pointing that out, it is sad news but welcome.

I would rather you all look and not try not to flood his page with inquiries as it may upset him.
Please be patient, and I will update this page as often as I can. |

Dat font.

| My apologies, if my preferred choice of color is painful to your ocular devices. |

My god change that freaking font color.

| My apologies, but I’ve been using this font for months now,
and have had no previous complaints. It is not difficult if you read in depth. |

my eyes!

Stop hating guys! OP is a unique butterfly, and must express his individuality, even at the cost of other people’s convenience. Carry on soul sister!

| Would you rather I use Black, Yellow or Orange? (That was meant to be a joke.)
Honestly it’s not hard to read, and you’re also missing the point.
This isn’t about my color preferences, it’s about the possibility of the Hayabusa variant returning. |

Looks like another Section 3 job to me.

I would gladly participate, however my mental fortitude isn’t the greatest.

Hope it does come back I used it all the time in halo 3 but then I used recon but still a very good lid.

So nobody’s going to comment that we got a Halo 4 Hayabusa to look at? Are you Serious?

@OP, your font color is awful, but this is pretty awesome.

purple is too hard to read JS OP and it sort of hurts the eyes but on topic i wouldnt mind having hayabusa armor back

Thanks OP. Can’t see -Yoink-. So I will pretend that I read the post and just say “no”. Hayabusa is awful.

Pleeease use yellow or orange. It’s very difficult and annoying to read. It’s also a long read.

| It may well be something for Sec 3 to work on, but I highly doubt it my friend.
We will most likely have to meet some sort of requirements if this is released.
Who knows this may be 343i’s Recon armor. |

> Hope it does come back I used it all the time in halo 3 but then I used recon but still a very good lid.

| Agreed, it is a useful and well designed armor set.
I’m hoping the Katana will be with it as well. |

| It seems people are more focused on my font color rather than reading this news.
However I apologize and thank you for your comment, as I too am looking forward to learning more about this. |

Font color aside…

I find this very interesting. The Hayabusa 2.0 looks like it is it the halo 4 art style which is a good sign. The question becomes wether or not this armor is already coded into the game or if 343i has changed halo so you will be able to have armor DLC.

all we currently know about 343’s special armour is its called ‘cougar’ but whether they changed the name of hayabusa to that who knows but i doubt it seeming scout etc are named the same

and also, MY AYES!!! please use orange…

I’m not quite sure whether or not it will appear, We have info that more glyphs will be on their way in the next map pack, If Haya gets added it would come through a glyph sequence IMO.

> I’m not quite sure whether or not it will appear, We have info that more glyphs will be on their way in the next map pack, If Haya gets added it would come through a glyph sequence IMO.

I would have to agree with OPDURANU, We still have an entire glyph sequence left to find as signified by this un-designated glyph.

I would have taken the time to read your OP, but the strain on my eyes due to your choice in purple font halted me from reading it.

On topic: Even though this is the first I’ve heard of it, I would love to see the Hyabusa armor make a return.
