*According to [[David Ellis]], the [[AKIS]] helmet and [[Armor accessories/EXO|EXO/TSCS]] chest piece were supposed to have been included as part of the ''Anniversary Map Pack''. However, [[Cut Halo: Reach armor|they were cut]] before release due to time and resource constraints, and were instead featured via the [[Spartan dolls Easter egg|doll]] Easter egg.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35044917&postcount=8270|Site=NeoGAF|Page=Halo <nowiki>|OT|</nowiki> HaloGAF Evolved|Quotee=David Ellis|Quote=We were prototyping and experimenting with adding new armor variants as part of the Anniversary release.
