The BONUS content however was a little glossed over, so I&#8217;m going to take a few minutes to show you and talk about those bonus in a bit more detail.<\/p>\n<p>First up the Armor.<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8942\" alt=\"Infinity Armor Pack n Ricochet\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet-600x306.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet-500x255.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a>As we see if you buy the whole Bundle pack you&#8217;ll get these armors. You can also buy the first three separately should you not want the maps or weapon skins. The Ricochet armor comes with the map pack portion of the bundle if you buy that only.<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Infinity-Armor-Pack-n-Ricochet.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I&#8217;m happy with ALL four armor sets. I know a lot of people will be happy with the <span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Mark V<\/span>. Believe it or not, this is the least favorite of the four for me, though I can see some fun throwback machinima happening with this armor set.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ODST<\/span> armor has been asked for since BEFORE Halo 4 came out. It&#8217;s VERY good to see this come to the game after so long. I have an idea for this armor for a machinima and I&#8217;m sure a lot of other people do to. Not to mention that MANY of the Spartan IVs seen in Halo 4 were formally ODSTs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Prefect<\/span> is a Forerunner-esque armor style. I&#8217;m REALLY digging this one. It looks like the visor CAN change color. Gawd, I hope so. One of my minor peeves with some of the helmets in Halo 4 is the inability to change visor color. I&#8217;m looking at you CIO&#8230; I wonder what the secondary color pattern will look like on this armor?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Ricochet<\/span> armor. You can see how this was totally patterned off of American style football uniforms. The shoulder pads jutting out, the face guard. I SO hope this is useable outside of Ricochet, but from what I understand it&#8217;s not. Hmm, guess I&#8217;m going to have to make a custom game to use this.<\/p>\n<p>Next we have the weapons skins. I&#8217;ve given them names here. These names are NOT official, just my interpretation of what I see. Though it would be cool if I&#8217;m right on some of these.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bonus-Weapon-Skins-v2.jpg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bonus-Weapon-Skins-v21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8949\" alt=\"Bonus Weapon Skins v2\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bonus-Weapon-Skins-v21-346x600.jpg\" width=\"346\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bonus-Weapon-Skins-v21-346x600.jpg 346w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bonus-Weapon-Skins-v21-173x300.jpg 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/a>So we get 2 Magnum skins, an AR skin, 2 DMR, and a BR skin.<\/p>\n<p>The Magnum skins are ok. Hard to tell from the graphic though.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;<span style=\"color: #999999;\">Shark<\/span>&#8221; AR is definitely going to be a hit I think. I&#8217;m already maxed out with the AR in Halo 4, but I&#8217;m definitely going to use this from time to time!<br \/>\nThe &#8220;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Deep Blue<\/span>&#8221; DMR skin is nice. Come to think of it, it has the colors of Fireteam Majestic. Hmmm.<br \/>\nThe next one, <span style=\"color: #808080;\">T<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">i<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">g<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">e<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">r<\/span> <span style=\"color: #808080;\">S<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">t<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">r<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">i<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">p<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">e<\/span>, I think is likely to be one of the favorites of the weapon skins. I&#8217;m totally diggin&#8217; it!<br \/>\nAnd finally what looks to be a <span style=\"color: #808080;\">J<\/span><span style=\"color: #808000;\">u<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">n<\/span><span style=\"color: #808000;\">g<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">l<\/span><span style=\"color: #808000;\">e<\/span> camo skin for the BR. Definitely like this skin. I just wish we had a good jungle type map to go with it. Though the new map Vertigo may go nicely with this.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly we take a look at the stances. This graphic is small, so I had to try and blow it up a little. Still hard to see so bear with me.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/New-Stances.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8943\" alt=\"New Stances\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/New-Stances-600x115.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/New-Stances-600x115.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/New-Stances-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/New-Stances-500x96.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSo starting from left to right here are my names for them based on what I think I&#8217;m seeing:<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Cracking Knuckles<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Looks like the Spartan is cracking his knuckles ready to smash someone in the face.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Salute<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Pretty obvious one here. I&#8217;m betting on this one being used a lot.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Arms Crossed<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Again, hard to tell by the graphic, but it does look like the Spartan&#8217;s arms are crossed.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Han Solo<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; This is SO the classic Han Solo pose from Star Wars.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hansolo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8947\" alt=\"hansolo\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hansolo.jpg\" width=\"263\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a>\u00a0See what I mean?<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Reload<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; This could also be called &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Tribute<\/span>&#8221; as in a 21-gun salute is a tribute to fallen soldiers.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Stealthy<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Looks like the Spartan is about to Assassinate. OR this could be &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Heisman<\/span>&#8221; as it does sort of look like the Hiesman pose which would work well with the new Ricochet game type.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Kick Back<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Really hard to tell what&#8217;s going on here. Kind of looks like the Spartan has a leg up on something. You can only see the top half of the Spartan. Too bad too, as it also looks a little like the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Captain Morgan<\/span>&#8221; pose. Now wouldn&#8217;t THAT be cool!<\/p>\n<p>There are also 3 Armor Skins, though those were not clearly shown in the panel yesterday. In fact while they showed Spartans in position front and back, the Spartans were in White, so you couldn&#8217;t tell what the skins were.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while this is separate from this bundle, don&#8217;t forget there are also McFarlane Armor and Weapons skins coming around this time too.
