Which helmet?

[Symmetric-XBA]

i've heard that there are going to be multiple types of halo helmets available on launch day. i may be mistaken though, thats why originally they offered just the noble six armor w/o helmet.

I thought that it was confirmed by bungie that the different Noble team helmets were avatar awards that you could unlock?
