Reach Helmets are actually done

With the exception of the pilot helmet why the hell does 343 just keep doing this? With the grenade launcher and anti air wraith they at least had an excuse cause the assets were actually unfinished but this is just pure laziness.

Lazy Link

Okay what is this actual evidence of now?

So do you two not know how highlight something?

Well maybe that’s why they haven’t shown the armour

No armor, just the helmets. The helmets won’t be in the REQ system so I think they are finishing the way you earn the helmets

It’s been over a year and the only helmet/armour that is earned is hated on, do you really think 343 will do that again? it’s either behind a paywall or in the REQ pool.

“do you really think 343 will do that again”

Once again, this is 343 we’re talking about here.

343 confirmed that the new helmets will not be implemented in the req system. They haven’t said exactly how, might be earned through achievements or something. We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t see why they would lie about it.

to be perfectly honest I don’t completely remember. Might have been stated on /r/Halo, or it was on twitter somewhere. But I know for sure that they did say the new armors are not in the req system.

They probably want to bundle it with some cooler stuff.

Don’t be a brat about it, we just got a huge, fantastic update. We can be content for once.

Here you go, straight from Ske7ch himself.

You mean the fantastic update that should’ve launched with the game?

Perhaps… Hmm… There is another. Halo Wars 2 achievements?

Ske7tch already said they’d be unlocked and NOT in the Req pool.

Man don’t even start. What done is done, and you saying stuff like that will only get on peoples nerves, since it has been said over and over for over a year now… it just gets so damn tiring hearing that phrase all the time.

While I agree that this update is awesome, it is kind of wrong that they’re deliberately holding back finished content like that. If it was unfinished that’s fine, but since it’s already in the game’s files and being used as a gimmick to try to bring back players it’s kinda messed up. Especially since every update is technically used to promote req sales so…

It’s possible. But since this update is coming out next month and HW2 is in February I don’t know if that would work out. We’d have to essentially wait another month to unlock some of the helmets. I do really like the idea of unlocking H5 armor through achievements in HW2 though.
