Tallgeese Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 So it would seem the FOTUS armor has gone the way of the Recruit armor...available to everyone at a certain point. In this forum article are listed several sites that have been recently updated, in them the description only states the skins and emblems as being exclusive, not the armor. So it would seem the FOTUS armor is no longer exclusive to the Halo 4 Xbox360 console. Supposedly, the FOTUS armor is armor unlocked at SR-130. To clarify, as has now been revealed, when you get the skin for an armor, such as the Prime skin, the Recruit armor is in turn unlocked. The FOTUS skin with the console unlocks the FOTUS armor, just now it is the case that everyone can have FOTUS once they hit SR-130, so console bundle owners will have it from day one. https://forums.halow...he-console.aspx here is a link to how armor and skins work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19nznZGyuw0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Inb4****storm! I wish they'd do it like Reach, ALL helmets unlockable, but DLC adds a special uncontainable skin/variant. Namely, Recon(recon, recon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 See, at least I get my FOTUS from day one. I imagine this goes for weapons as well? *hopes* But from now on, they HAVE to tell the truth at the start. 343 have already lied more than the U.S. Gov't in the past decade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as LE owners get an exclusive version of the AR with the prime skin, console owners get an exclusive version of the LR with the LR console skin. Just as LE owners get an exclusive version of the Recruit armor with the Prime skin, console owners get an exclusive version of the FOTUS armor with the FOTUS console skin I agree that 343i/M$ do not have a good reputation going so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, but do we get the weapons from the start as well? Because if so, Consoles get 2 cool guns at start if pre-ordered from Gamestop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if so, Consoles get 2 cool guns at start if pre-ordered from Gamestop. Yeah idk...getting the BR and LR from the start would be a bit OP to be honest, especaily since you have to technically buy them first...I think the weapons and armor work differently though. You do not have to purchase armor in the game, you just unlock it. Where as you have to purchase the guns and packages. So perhaps you unlock the armor from the skins right off the bat, but you have to purchase the guns first than you can automatically apply the skins. I really dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 That'd make sense. I don't think it'd be too OP since the weapons are well balanced, it's just the fact that we'd get Precision weapons first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah idk man...making it so that console owners have to spend SP on the LR first before they could use the LR with the console skin would be the only way to really make it fair I suppose.

But who knows I'd just think that making us wait until whenever it unlocks is cool, but whatever they do, I can't stop them. XD You know, I am very okay with 343's lie about FOTUS aren't I? I guess it's the fact that I was expecting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killerdude1635 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Weapons should be locked until the proper level is achieved, regardless of Edition you have. Armours however, since they have no real impact on gameplay, should be unlocked or whatever.(you understand what I'm saying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 this defeats the purpose of people buying it for specific armor that everyone gets. Unlike bungie, in reach you got an elite and an armor effect for pre-ordering that wasn't unlocked through levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well essentially Console get a exclusive skin for the FOTUS armor and LE get a exclusive skin for the Recruit armor. Everyone can have the FOTUS and Recruit armor, but not the exclusive skins for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...but some prefer armor skins which are the LE and Console skins are exclusive over weapon skins...it is really your own personal preference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJohnJohnny Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 But the console doesn't come with the FOTUS skin, it comes with the ARMOR! Your right about the skins, but not he armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, 343 changed it up on us. Now, anyone gets it at SR-130. But Console buyers get it at day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallgeese Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Where was that stated? That is what has been stated over on Halo Waypoint...as I said it is "supposedly"...the rest of the FOTUS information is legit, who knows if FOTUS really will be unlocked at SR-130...

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 You know, I'm just going to keep checking the Gamestop Console bonus list. If it changes, which it is likely to if this is concrete, we'll know. Besides, MS would likely tell them before us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinosaurdaniel Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Who cares if its not exclusive? anyone just buying this console for that one thing should not even be allowed to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
