I GOTS TEH ODST!
I most certainly rock...I've seen people with EVA.

Unfortunatly, I don't remember how I unlocked the ODST...Reckon its linked with achievements? Or just certain feats which arent achievements...Say 400 matchmaking game played?

I went to the effort of finishing the training course on online matchmaking, maybe that be it.

Well that's a load, I've always hated when they make you play some other game in order to get something in another...

I like the unlocking thrill, but I don't like it when they lock certain things to either other games or parts of the game you have to pay for. I have xbox LIVE, so It's of no concern to me, but what about those poor souls who simply live off of split-screen and regular co-op?

IGN wrote:IGN AU: On to a more specific question. Armour permutations - how much have you revealed at this point? How many pieces are in the game?

Lars Bakken: I can't talk about how many total pieces we have. There are obviously a lot more than we've revealed. We revealed two of them at the last press event - the helmets and the shoulder pads and the chest permutations, but there's a lot more. And there's a bunch that we wouldn't even talk about even if we were talking about them, because there are some hidden ones that we want fans to find.

IGN AU: How do they actually find it? Is it linked to multiplayer or single player?

Lars Bakken: It's linked to the entire game, and the way it's unlocked is through milestones that you hit, with achievements. It's linked to a point total basically, in your achievements.

IGN AU: Through single player and multiplayer.

Lars Bakken: Yep, for both, it's combined.

So they dont say the armor is linked to other games as well? Because I don't want to go rent a game just for armor

Pretty clear he means it's based solely on Halo 3. It would completely idiotic to have it tied to your overall gamerscore.

I found a skull on sierra 117 really easily, and I unlocked the EVA chest plate. I don't know if their linked, but thats the only thing iv unlocked so far.

I finished campaign and got all three EVA parts...I'm guessing it's just for beating certain levels.

I think Hayabusa is skull related, Ive found like 4 or 5 of them and I unlocked the chest.

Neato...guess it's that then, because I can confirm it isn't/wasn't related to having a Dead or Alive 4 save. That is, unless you need to have it completed to some degree...I unlocked everything on an offline profile, and by the time I transferred my XBL account over, I just didn't feel like re-unlocking everything.
