Subject: Superior Armor Customization

First off I want to apologize if someone else made a thread exactly like this one. I'm sorry.
Now on with my topic. In Reach, I would like some serious armor customization. First off extreme paint options, like this:

-Main Head.
-Secondary Head.
-Detail Head.
-Upper Breastplate.
-Lower Breastplate.
-Detail Breastplate.
-Primary Upper Arms.
-Secondary Upper Arms.
-Lower Arms.
-Gauntlets.
-Primary Upper Legs.
-Secondary Upper Legs.
-Kneecaps.
-Calf.
-Primary Boots.
-Secondary Boots.

Yeah, it's allot but it would make it so much better...
Next some interesting in game achievements. When you unlock a certain number of whatevers -headshots for example- you get a option to display a mini headshot medal on the left of your breastplate. You can display eight at one time, and have the option to turn them off completely.
I know it's allot but it would revolutionize the customization possibilities and would please allot of machinima makers everywhere. Comment on what you think of this and add anything else you think should be included for armor customization too.
Thank for reading!

Yeah I like it make more variety

But gameplay comes first

Yeah, gameplay is the main goal. If this is possible however...

Agreed. I would like to be able to customize certain armor parts, like the gauntlets or legs. Very nice ideas.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I thin k you should be able to paintbrush on the armor detail. You only get the one color to work with, but you can design your armor to be truly unique.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

ya, the ability to make every individual part of the body unique would be great. also game play does come first, but, if you make the player become more involved with the in game world with all these customization options, the gameplay becomes alot better


Agreed, the more customization in armor and game options brings a lot more variety in the game. Which in my opinion as well, makes the game a whole lot better.

Rainbow six's customization in Halo would be sick...

Me and my ODST we are our own breed, forged from combat and bread from years of battle as ODST. So you can take your -blam!- ODST clan invites and shove 'em. Rookies don't run jack, we do.

I think a lot of these features would be nice. I think it would be great if bungie added more of the customizable features, even if they aren't these exact ones.

btw allot = a lot

That would be awesome, and I'm sure that the majority of people would love it and use it to it's fullest. However, this will never be implemented for one reason: Stupid kids who will put various rude images on their armor.

If we could customize it like that that would be insane but then people would look like -blam!- boys and have 30 different colors

  • 07.16.2009 2:11 PM PDT

game play frist but then, take the detail and yea sure sounds goods.

  • 07.16.2009 2:58 PM PDT
