I know this is a longshot, but..........

Is there anyone who can either confirm or deny the exsitence of new armour perms!
Like the helmet and chest in the defiant map pack screenshots.
Because i think i might go crazy before the mystery is solved!
I mean anyone 343i, bungie or even certain affinity
PLEASE!!!

Well you aren’t gonna hear ANYTHING until an official announcement, but they WERE in the trailer…

In my opinion if that was a new helmet I would assume that it was already on the disc.

“B-b-but Sarge, Hackers woulda found it”
Don’t be to sure Bob example guy, a lot of things tell me that hackers haven’t cracked Reach all the way yet. Remember when Bungie said that the UA/Multi-threat chest was a pick from the “bucket” of armors that weren’t used on the disk. Did the hackers find those uncomplete files? I don’t believe so. I also recall them talking about giving some high Arena players special armor a long time ago.

“Why don’t you think you can just download the armor files as a whole?”
That would require for you to have the game on the hard drive and an extra maybe 7GB on that Hard drive. In this case you and only the others who got the armor can only see you with it. It can’t be a patch first because everyone who doesn’t want the armor is forced to download it. Unless you want the Reach population to be 1,500 I don’t think you would want this.

“Would it be possible for the armor to be only wearable in the future map packs?”
Possible yes but, the way I see it, it’s very redundant.
