The one that they feature in the story (with the large visor) looks a LOT like the SPI armor from the Halo: Ghosts of Onyx book. Or is that just me?
Yeah, it reminds me of that armor, too. It's not exactly the same, but I wonder if it's presence in the game could mean the appearence of a certain character (or more) in the campaign. Most likely a stretch, but I think it would be pretty cool to see him/them on my TV.
That word, "unlock", makes me a bit nervous. I'm really, very, excited about having more armor choices. That was always something I wanted more of in Halo 2, better options for Spartan customization. Even if it was just a better color choice system (I was never jazzed about the secondary color placement option).
But if it turns out that I'll have to put in some real time in matchmaking, that will kill me. I'm a custom game kind of guy. I hate matchmaking. I hate it a lot. Not the idea of it. I really appreciate all of the game options, and that it exists. I really just hate what matchmaking means. Frustrating, obnoxious, matches with complete strangers who, very often, require muting.
So if these permutations can only be unlocked through hours of matchmaking, I'll have to suck it up and do it (until I unlock all available pieces and retreat to custom games), but it will really dampen the experience of Halo 3 for me.
Here's hoping for simply unlocking these in campaign (the real reason I buy any video game), or (as apparently is not the case) having them simply be available from the beginning.
