Locked Armor; Which is it?

Halo Bulletin: 5.30.12

> Last week, retailers began announcing their Halo 4 pre-order bonuses. The first eight bonuses you’ll see below are skins. <mark>(For clarification purposes, please note they are skins only, and we are not locking away armor.)</mark> One of the best things about the skins is the ability to fully customize them. You’re getting a pattern that is not only unique, but can also be color customized.

Start scrolling to begin ingesting the Halo 4 eye candy.

> The PAX build contains the full set of armor in Halo 4. In the final game, there are a variety of methods for unlocking armor and armor skins - ranking up, earning commendations, progressing through Specializations and completing goals on Waypoint. Some of the skins, <mark>helmets</mark>, and the FOTUS armor are <mark>exclusive to various retail offers</mark>. Some of these items MAY become available to all players at a later date. We wanted to focus on the Spartan-IV armors for Infinity, maximizing the amount of variety across the armor designs. However, we did want to include a reward for completing the Campaign on Legendary, so we decided to use the Mark VI armor as that reward. 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.

Now, which is it?

Doesn’t matter, getting Halo 4.

I have a thread on the exact same thing, and am just as curious as you.

Of course. But in Halo 4, I was planning on having Locus helmet. But now I’m not sure if I can.
