Awesome idea dude! All that you are forgetting is the Halo Wars Elite armor perm though.
Do you have a link to that which I could use?

You know I'm up for it, Cheeh. Further armor permutations, especially some love for the long-unused Elites, is one of the things I hope to see in Reach. I'm up for some more armor-quality love here.

I think it'd be cool if they did sort of a "Welcome to the UNSC" thing when you start up MP for the first time. It could play a video of Johnson welcoming you, then have you proceed to pick your species, gender, armor, emblem, colors, and service tag. If they added some more weapons like the MA5K, it'd be cool to pick your starting weapon too. ex - MA5C, MA5K, etc. You could pick your sidearm too. ex - M6G, M6C, M6J, etc. I'm sure it could be balanced out.

Just my two cents.

This.
This.

Nah. The councellor "big model, little hitbox" thing would be confusing... It's also break the elite's outline. I LMAOd when I first met em in H2.

Maybe the same shaped helmet, just smaller and more compact.

Maybe you could shoot the helmet off, but it would do no damage, reducing the amount of times you saw the large helmet. I don't think it would be confusing at all.

Oh! I thought you meant that the bullets would be passing through the extra helmet as if it didn't exist. Now I get it.

Better, but doesn't change the fact that you'd have a huge view obscuring noob running around on your team :?

In fact, if one of those -blam!-s were on my team the first thing I'd do is shoot their helmet off....


Wait. That sounds like it would be funny!

All in favor of armor parts that are just for show that can be shot off?

your idea is a good and thorough one, but to me it sounds as if the armor customization options sound like the spore creature creater, not necessarily a bad thing but could have problems, non of which i can come up with

  • 06.22.2009 8:32 PM PDT

............... *sigh*
I don't have a signature so close the freakin' tab

yess i also love the weapon customization but i really would like bungie to incorporate this

  • 06.22.2009 8:44 PM PDT

i like the costomization idea but i think shoulder should go with full arm armor . but the leg idea i like ,h3 leg armor gets boring. i like costomizing the weapons. if u have played rainbow6 vegas 2 theres tons of wep combos u can use for infinit reasons. it would be a great strategy bonus too. i want a halo reach heavy support gun that is belt from a container but is mobil that u can carry with you . like the s.a.w. gun or or the ones u see in vietnam videos.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

First off, I would like to say that Bungie has probably seen the trend in video games, and they know what video gamers want. Customization. They have actually allowed customization since Halo: CE, and more so in Halo 2, and even more in Halo 3.

I doubt a thread you made swayed any decisions. (No offense)

Anyways, I would LOVE too see more customization, and I think Bungie will add more customization. Not because of this thread, but because of what the gamers want.

  • 06.22.2009 11:38 PM PDT

I like the idea but there are too many options.
We are playing Halo, no dress up barbie game.
I would like just full armors: Mark V, Mark IV, Mark VI, SPI Mark II, SPI mark I and for the elites like the different helmets seen in Halo 1 and Halo 2.
And then just pick a colour and emblem.

I can almost guarantee you that we won't see early machinations of PROJECT MJOLNIR since the suits required outside power sources which limited mobility.


You are a good dude but in that statment you are wrong Mark IV biatch.

how come you didnt mention the characters back in the list of customisable areas. wouldnt you need that for the supreme commanders cloak and the rangers backpack?

  • 06.23.2009 3:01 AM PDT

Capes. Did you watch the Incredibles? I think adding a lot of the extra armor would make it harder for bungie to reduce things such as glitches for where bullets hit and whatnot. Ex. the whole in the middle of the elite's neck. I like most of the ideas for the armor perms but some of the elite helmets which are big and bulky would serious disrupt gameplay imo if you were standing right behind or in front of a guy and you can't see half the map because of the huge silver helmet of the elite.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

I approve of everything, except the individual coloring part. It would look just plain goofy and it would take ages to make your suit all one color.

In addition to your ideas, I would like to add the option to have an armor piece be "new" or "battle scarred".

I would also like to see a suit of UNSC Pilot Armor.

Spoons!

How about some re-scaled brute models for multiplayer?

That would be great. I wonder if they re-scaled them if they would be the same shape as Spartans, or if their chests are much wider...

It seems like way too much customization. Adding leg armor woulnt hurt, but we dont kneed Chest, stomach, and groin variants, or shoulder, forearm and hand all for the same general area. Chest, Helmet, Arm, and leg would be sweet, but im fine with just the ones we have now.

When I posted this idea for Halo 3 before armor permutations were discovered, people sait it would be silly to be able to mix a helmet and two different shoulder variants. I mean, two different shoulder variants? Absurd...
