I was reading up on some PAX East info on Major Nelsons website, and it states that the castle map pack will be available to players to play at PAX, as well as the map pack containing two helmets and an emblem.
> Halo 4
> Castle Map Pack (First public playable opportunity)
> The War Games Map Pass allows players to extend their gameplay experience with new locations and bonus content (2 unique helmets and an emblem) at a terrific value. The Castle Map Pack is the third of the series, offering larger, more open spaces, in three very different settings and map styles. Castle map pack introduces nine new achievements, three new maps, and a new “Castle DLC” playlist.
This is from the website. I also suggest you read up on more of his site. Lots of good info on Halo 4.
I think the “new helmets + emblem” are those that come from the map pass, not actual new helmets and emblem

Nice catch, still good to see they can update armor sets and emblems.

WGMP’s Helmets and Emblem are already on disk. You just need the code to unlock them, much like the pre-order bonuses.
I don’t think 343i can add anymore armor in the game.
dangit, why didnt i just buy the map pass instead of the map packs individually!
If the two helmets are what I think they are; Strider and Scanner, that would be disapointing. But if they give them out im sure they will have diferent skins at least. But hey, more armor is pretty cool.

Basically, you’re getting what the WGMP owners already have.

Because what OP is referring to IS the map pass.

Just read the part in red, that part is just talking about the WGMP that you get to access Crimson, Majestic & Castle - it comes with Scanner & Strider helmets + that eagle head emblem. The article does not say if you get ‘Castle’ map pack you get these or that there is a new WGMP with 2 never before seen helmets or emblems.
Makes me sad when the word ¨confirmed¨ gets thrown around prematuerly

Pretty sure they can, but they’d have to make a herculean DLC or TU to replace all the map files. Like they did with Battlefield 3.

If Call of Duty and Battlefield can add new weapons and skins to their games, why can’t Halo add armor?
I hope it’s not the map pass ones. They should be bringing back MK V and ODST for pity sakes.
OP got my hopes up for a second.

Because Halo’s engine is different and people need to stop thinking all games are created the same.
ive got very good reason to believe its not the ones in the map pass, i say this because, yes you do get 2 helmets with it BUT you dont get an emblem, so they could be adding more helmets and an emblem

The Map Pass has two helmets and an emblem…
