Taken directly from the 9/5/2012 Bulletin:
> While we’d love to include every historical variant of the Chief’s armor, it’s just not possible to fit more armor sets into the available memory.
Please, do not make threads about armor DLC in the next week, month, year, two years, or decade. They’ve already said it can’t fit.
Thank you,
Oh well. This is Halo 4. It’s a new game, so I’m not surprised.
Excelsior!
For halo 3, people wanted DLC armor.
For reach people wanted DLC armor.
Now halo 4 and they STILL cant do DLC armor.
wtf. :l.
I see games like Battlefield coming out with new guns and stuff… and we still can’t do something we’ve been wanting since 2007.
There are already a ton of variations (way more than Reach) and it’s a FPS. I can only mess with aesthetics for so long before I simply don’t care as it has NO effect.
Agreed. I’d rather spend my time looking forward to what’s coming than pining for what’s already gone.
BRINGS US XBAWX 720 WITH INCREASED MEMORY NAO!
There has never been armor dlc, I don’t understand why people even think it’s an option.
Why would you even want such useless DLC? It doesn’t add anything to gameplay!
Is there really more helmets in 4 than reach? Remember that you have to work it as…
X= number of helmets in reach
X multiplied by 3 ( the number of helmet attachments per helmet)
Vs
Y, the number of helmets in Halo 4 - no attachments this time.

(X*3)< Y !
We did’nt even factor in,
G=Chests
O=Shoulders
Q=Arm plates/Wrists
P=Legs/Knees
L=Visors
K=Ultilitys

Skins.
Cool, i knew at some point someone else would work it out. Cheers dude.
Are skins visual in team games or just free for all games, and spartan opps?
Will there be cutsceens in spartan opps that render in our spartan, just like the campaign in reach with Noble 6? So far we have not seen anything to say that it is happening. It better be happening

Of course it’s an option, there are lots of games out there that give you new character skins to play around with. It’s more a case of “Is it possible?”
I think this is more of a limitation of hardware than anything though, not really a disc space issue but probably a RAM issue. 512MB is pretty much nothing by todays standards (even the cheapest, crappiest laptops on the market have at least 1GB or 2GB of RAM, double and quadruple that of the Xbox 360). I doubt we’ll see DLC armour for a Halo game until the next console generation myself.

As far as I have seen, all the cutscenes in Spartan Ops will be pre rendered, so no, our Spartans will not be in them.
The cutscenes follow the commanding officers on the Infinity.

I definitely remember hearing that’s happening, from Frankie I think. Can’t remember where though, I think it was in a video interview around E3.
