So I, like many players out there, have been wondering how to unlock the "legendary ending", and if there is in fact a legendary ending at all. There are many theories out there on how to unlock it, but this forum focuses on a specific theory, my theory: that there is a certain combination of armor permutations, and possibly emblem and colors as well, that acts as a password to unlock the legendary ending when Lone Wolf is played while connected to XBOX LIVE using said customizations. Now right now you might be saying to yourself, "Gee, since there's so many players out there, surely all combinations have been tried already." Wrong. The fact that Bungie instituted a credit system for unlocking armor (online) ensured that the whole armory wouldn't be unlocked (online) until at least a couple of weeks after the game's release. So what's the customization password then? Well here's the juicy bit: I was playing campaign the other day when I realized that there were some inconsistencies regarding- that's right- Noble 6's default armor. Here's some examples. At the beginning of the mission "Exodus", Noble 6 has crash landed back on Reach. During the cut scene, he/she goes to retrieve his/her magnum from the ground, and takes a couple of steps away from the camera. Then, Noble 6 looks down at his/her [b] left wrist [/b], looks around as if gaining his/her bearings, then proceeds to evacuate citizens from an occupied city. Why did Noble 6 look at his/her wrist? There's nothing there! At this point I headed to the armory, and found the TACTICAL/UGPS wrist attachment, unlocked at Lt. Colonel. Convenient, yes? Now the cut scene makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? And that's not all. It is stated in the campaign and in the game manual that Noble 6 apparently has "skill as a pilot". Oh look, there's a new helmet in Halo: Reach, the PILOT helmet, unlocked at Commander. As for the rest of the custom armor "password", I think I'll need a little help from the community. Here's what I have so far, and I'll update as progress is made: [quote]HELMET:[b] PILOT-HAUNTED [/b] -Noble 6 has "skill as a pilot". (Game Manual, Long Night of Solace) -Helmet would require a camera (uplink) for video feed. (Long Night of Solace, Lone Wolf) -Noble 6 was used by his superior as "his own private grim reaper" LEFT SHOULDER: Unknown -Stealth oriented? RIGHT SHOULDER: Unknown -Stealth oriented? CHEST:[b] UA/COUNTERASSAULT [/b] -Storage for Jorge's dog tags (Exodus) -Up armored for explosions, falls, and physical trauma (Throughout Campaign) -Useful for counter-insurgency operations (Mamore, May 10, 2552) WRIST:[b] TACTICAL/UGPS [/b] -Used after re-entry for navigation purposes. (Exodus) UTILITY:[b] TACTICAL/TRAUMA KIT [/b] -Used after re-entry for trauma, may be necessary for ultimate survival. (Exodus, Lone Wolf) VISOR COLOR:[b] BLACK [/b] -"private grim reaper" -"lone wolf" -Assassins like Noble 6 often use the color black for stealth and concealment. KNEE GUARDS:[b] FJ/PARA [/b] -Jump from Pelican (Pillar of Autumn) -Seen in early press release models of Noble 6. ARMOR EFFECT: Disregarded FIREFIGHT VOICE: Disregarded EMBLEM: Unknown -Lone Wolf -Noble 6 -Sabre Teams? COLORS: Unknown -"personal grim reaper" -"lone wolf"[/quote] A good place to start when looking for clues in the Halo canon is [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPARTAN-B312]here[/url]. [b]P.S. I'd like to point out that this forum topic is concerned with finding the armor that would make the most sense for Noble 6 throughout the campaign and in the Halo canon, possibly unlocking a legendary ending. It is not concerned with: The armor promoted by toy companies:[/b] [quote]Posted by: ShadeXC I don't know how relevant this is, but my McFarlane Noble 6 action figure does not have complete default armor. He has the default helm with the HUL piece, FJ/PARA knees, GPS on the wrist, default chest, no shoulder guards. Also, he has different colors. Primary: Steel and Secondary: Silver.[/quote] [b]The armor worn by Master Chief:[/b] [quote]Posted by: Ewok Rex Maybe if you bought all of the Master Chief's armor: gold visor, Mark VI helmet, etc. However, someone probably mentioned this already. Sorry if I'm restating the previously stated.[/quote] [b]The armor suggested by... other stuff:[/b] [quote]Posted by: pimpngreenhat Wait a minute... Security = Marathon...
