How to Unlock Elite Armor Sets
We know that Elite Armor will not be unlocked via Credits or achievements but instead through Ranking.
(This Does not include [url=http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4541938011_9af46dfc5f.jpg][b]Officer[/b][/url], which is unlocked by purchasing limited or legendary edition)
You will be able to use the armor you unlocked in Elite Gametypes, which so far to what we know are limited to Invasion, Generator Defense, Firefight Versus, and Covie Slayer.
So what do you think will be the requirement for unlocking each type of armor?
The only one i think is known for sure is the rank of Elite Ultra, whose' requirement was stated as a rank of Warrant Officer in Bungie Weekly Update 06.11.10.
My Speculations are that since in the [url=http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14276699/halo-project/videos/halor_armory_montage_072210.html?show=hi]IGN Armory Video[/url] The User is Ranked at Corporal, and only has the Minor and Spec-Op. Meanwhile in the [url=http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/080610/ELITES/RANGERb.jpg] Bungie Preview [/url] With a rank of Sergeant the player has unlocked also Ranger.
I Believe The unlock requirements are

Any Corrections to this? Or Speculation as to what the further sets (Zealot, General, Field Marshall)? Ill add on the ones that make the most sense.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GREAT GLEN those Elite armours look amazingly awesome, can't wait to get my hands on them. I'm not allowed to pay all the money for the Officer armour though, I really hope Bungie has mercy on the poorer fans that love Reach and let us get it through doing a new kind of vidmaster achievement system I think you're pretty close to how the armour will be unlocked in the game, they may introduce more ranks so we'll just have to wait and see really... PLEASE BUNGIE! MERCY![/quote] I Don't Believe that they should add Officer Armor to the public, since that was something gifted to those with limited edition as a unique permulation. However i do believe they should add more armor sets and ranks, The Amount of Ranks currently available are surprisingly small compared to the amount of Halo 3 ranks. I am personally Hoping for Arbiter, Councilor, and Honor Guard armor (I know General is a lot like Honor Guard, but it isn't the same)
