I'm a little confused. It's my favorite helmet, but I can't yet see it in the armory, but my friend of the same rank (warrant officer 3) can. At captain, some friends can buy it, some can't even see it. Does anyone know when this helmet unlocks?
I've heard rumors that it is unlocked after having achieved a specific armory completion, but the validity of the rumor and the percent needed for the unlock are both questionable. And i agree, its totally badass.
To answer future questions in regards to helmets... Lt. Colonel reveals: Commando helmet ( purchase at Commander ) EVA[C] helmet ( purchase at Commander ) Pilot helmet ( purchase at Commander ) CQC shoulders ( and unlocks )? Operator shoulders ( purchase at Commander ) Commando shoulders ( purchase at Commander ) Assault/Sapper chest ( purchase at Commander ) Purchasing Chest Collar/Breacher unlocks: Collar/Breacher[R] ( Kat's arm )
I have a friend who is ranked Warrant Officer Grade Three, and he wears the commando helmet. It has some system alternate to your total credits earned, and its not the only one. Bungie even said that some things will not be available for viewing until certain others are bought, an example is the EOD helmet upgrades. I don't know what it is exactly though, it could be earned multiple ways. Who knows!
Well, I had every helmet purchased that was possible... as well as every variant of those helmets. I hadn't purchased anything new when I ranked up to Lt. Colonel... and it states that the pre-requisite for it is to be a Commander. It makes no sense to show it available at Warrant Officer if the pre-requisite is Commander rank.
Well shroomz I see your point, but i think bungie thought it would be nice to show you what you can buy when you reach a lower rank. Like if you were one rank away from commander and you didn't know the helmet was there and used up a lot of credits on something else when you see it you'd feel stupid for spending all the credits so now you can't buy it.
Think before you post... or at least read what I posted. It goes : Warrant Officer Captain Major Lt. Colonel Commander What good is it to show you Commander or even Lt. Colonel items at Warrant Officer if you can't even purchase them for another 240,000 cR and 3 more full rank ups? And don't go telling me it's about "saving up" all the way from Warrant Officer. It costs 115,000 cR to get through all the Captains. It costs 125,000 cR to get through all the Majors. It costs 150,000 cR to get through all the Lt. Colonels. The most expensive base helmet available at Commander is 130,000 cR. That can be had by saving up as soon as you reach Lt. Colonel. Jex, I'd be surprised to see that helmet on a Warrant Officer that didn't somehow hack it. Like I said, it's has a requirement of being a Commander, so... I don't know how he/she/it got it. You sure you're not mistaking the Air Assault helmet?
All I can think is that your friend got to Lt. Colonel and got his rank reset. That doesn't make sense though because he wouldn't have gotten the helmet because he would have to be a commander. So I don't know what to make of this issue.
I'm certain, ive seen it myself. However, they don't have xbox live; another weird difference linked to the incredibly high credit gain for offline users? Its probably just a super-glitch though, i'm not really sure.
When i began playing Halo: Reach with an offline profile i could earn 4000-5000 cR per hour in Forge. And Forge was pretty much the only thing i wanted to do by then. When i finally got my Xbox LIVE to work a message popped up saying that i had too much cR and i could choose to do 2 things: 1. Lose 100.000 cR. 2. Stop cR "cheating". I choose the second one and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED! I was devolved from Warrant Officcer Grade 3 to Sergeant Grade 1 and i only had the armor pieces i had bought by then, which wasn't much. I wasn't cR cheating, Bungie themselves put it in the game! AND I CAN'T HELP I LIKE TO FORGE!
everything above lt colonel is impossible to get until the rank lift. if you see anyone with it, they are probably bungie. [br][/br]Edited by merge: don't do so much offline. this has happened to a lot of people, its not just forge.
