I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Hey guys, apologies in advance if there has already been a slew of these topics, I did a quick search and came up with nothing so I thought it would be okay.

Just a quick question for everyone out there willing to be imaginative:

Are there any other armour permutations that you would like to see in Halo 3:ODST?

Personally I'd love to see something like SPI armour from the books. I know that they were officially the SIII armour, but anyone can wear it!

Post your ideas! I'm curious what other people think.

Ideas so far!
*SPI armour
*Pilot armour
*Halo Combat Evolved marine armour
*Customiseable extras (ammo belts etc)

Yeah I really wanted to see SPI armor after I read about it in the books. It has some sort of camoflauge (<-- spellcheck please) capability and I want to see how that works. Another cool one would be the MJOLNIR prototypes like the black suits they improvised and used for training in the underground storage facility.

It would be cool to see H:CE marine armor but I would really want just head to toe ODST

Camouflage =P

Yeah I mean I get the impression that they won't be including too much, but there are a few things that would be so awesome.

One thing I briefly considered as a joke was the old Marine armour from Halo 1, with the metal plates. Nostalgiarific!
Or, even better, the civilians from that level in Halo 3... lulz.

EDIT
@Reptiles rule, did you see the Art of Halo 3? They ha d section in that about fully customizeable armour perms with ammo bandoliers and grenade attachments, and forza-style colour customisation, but apparently it wasn't practical. Maybe small attachments could be added on a bit like the way shoulder pads are done in Halo3?

I lol'ed at the sound that the armour produced when you hit it.
Although the helmets in HaloCE where cool.

I always used to find it kinda funny that the Marines died so quickly and yet seemed to have completely bullet proof metal all over them.

Just for those who don't know, here is a (fairly terrible) image of the SPI armour. Now I dunno about you guys, but I would be completely alright stomping about kicking covenant backside in that green suit of absolute mean. Heck, maybe they could change it to a dark grey to make it match the ODST colour scheme.

SPI looks kinda like EVA.

I think it was impractical in terms of the actual game code over anything else - maybe it made online games slower, or something.

Yeah, I did see that and it really made me think of those Spartan ammo belts and stuff. Now I'm not sure but isn't it that you play as an actual character in Firefight as opposed to a customised model? Either way, it would be nice to be able to make little adjustments like you say.

Shotgun shells FTW.

@SlayaplayaODST, yeah when Halo 3 was released everyone was saying that the game had SPI armour in it, but it turned out to be EVA. The SPI helmet looks really similar, but I think it's meant to be more curvy than the EVA one. I really like the way the chest plate is held on with those straps, it somehow makes it cooler...!

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I support the OP's idea of SPI armour. Spartan IIIs had near enough the same amount of health as ODSTs, because their armour didn't have energy shields like the MJOLNIR Spartan II armour did. Sure, Spartan IIIs are still augmented and are meant to have more strength than an ODST, but this is Halo, things aren't usually realistic anyway.

Maybe it could be like test armour or something, with just a hardcore marine inside.

I'm beginning to sound like a complete fanboy here, I think I'm gonna head to bed now.

Awesome. It should be really good fun. It's a shame that it doesn't look like there is going to be any ODST player v. player online play.

I like the ideas in this thread so far. Just remember that the game is already done so nothing will be added later.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

Oh, are you talking about Firefight armor?

Well personally, I'd love to see the Halo 2: ODST armor. It looked pretty sweet!

This is what I'm talking about.

  • 06.17.2009 7:42 AM PDT

Try the phazon suit or the or the light armor dark armor or gravity armor or the PED armor

It'd be nice, but ODST armor in 3 is very similar and i doubt they'd go though the trouble.

I'd like to see the:
halo 1 Marines: both boonie hats and heavily armored types.
H 2 ODSTs
H3: infantry, they looked better than the halo 2 standard infantry

Downloadable content my friend.... Downloadable content.......

( i mean really, just look at Ace Combat 6 or Forza 2 )

SIP

yea i think that Bungie said you play as a certain player, but are able to customize both emblems and armor. which will be awesome. I'd just like to see a whole ODST armor perm as obviously the spartans couldn't wear it because ODST armor was fit for marines.

  • 06.17.2009 8:37 AM PDT

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

This is confirmed, you can play as an ODST (one from the campaign) and you do have the option to play with or without a helmet on. Oh and you will still have access to the VISR and all your other little things. Its for aesthetic purposes and will not change gameplay. (Unless your friends think you are lame looking like that and shotgun you :D )
