Subject: Halo Reach's Armor Options?

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

What kind or armor customization would you like to see.

I for one would love to see NEW armor, and all the Halo 3 armor you earned transfer over into Reach.

DLC Armor (a nice way for Bungie to make money)
- An idea that popped into my head just now. When Reach comes out with DLC MP Maps and they add achievements for those maps, there should be some armor you can unlock after you earn those achievements.

Emblems- I would like to see more emblem options, and even ranks in those emblems.
- For example lets say I am a Brigadier, I should unlock an Eagle as an emblem. Also all previous ranks emblems will still be accessible.

The color/shade BLACK! Like Halo 1 Black

More colors!

The option to be a Brute, Elite, Spartan, ODST?, Marine?, and Johnson (and other famous charecters from the Halo Series)

Master Chief's Damaged Mark VI chestplate and color from Halo 3's Campaign. (Cause who doesn't want to be the MC?)

Eh, I was just progressing through ideas, and threw em down as they came to me.

What would you like to see?

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I wouldnt mind this (exept for the Brute/ODST/Marine thing). The more you can costumize your character the better. Remember when they discovered how to get the IWHBYD Skull? Everyone and t heir mothers had the Hyabusa armor permutation. I wouldnt mind even getting the S-III armor you see on the cover of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx and the old Concept art armor from pre-Halo 1.

I don't know how likely it'd be, but the option to have my armor color be either normal or metallic would be cool. The colors in halo 3 right now seem kinda flat to me, nothing wrong with them, but I liked the metallic look of the armor in Halo CE and somewhat Halo 2. Again, DLC armor would be cool, but I'm happy as long as I have Mark V. Mark IV would be cool, too, and it seems like it'd be likely since it is a prequel. Mark VI will probably be unlockable.

Elites should also get more armor options, at least closer to the amount that spartans will have.

Also if Halo Reach has some form of forge, I can't wait to see it; since Halo 3's forge was made as an object editor made for editing maps rather than making them originally and how far it's come along since launch to what we have now with sandbox and foundry; a forge made specifically to be a map creator could be amazing.

Hoping that Brutes will be playable in Halo: Reach...

alright, I like those options. And I would love to have brutes, I was dissappointed when they were put in Halo 3, so it was short live for me. I would be very happy if they put brutes in the game ,I know it wouldn't fit the story, but whatever. It's for multiplayer, which I believe there is.Maybe not ODST or marines, maybe they can have their own gametype for themselves like firefight.
Back to armor, more armor for elites and added brutes and I'm a happy camper.

Here's my amazing wish list.
I'd like to be able to customize my armor's paint job:
Head primary, head secondary, head detail, chest plate primary, chest plate secondary, upper arm primary, upper arm secondary, forearm primary, forearm detail, gauntlet primary, upper legs primary, upper legs secondary, kneecaps, calf primary, calf secondary, boot primary, boot detail.
Also a "battle scar" option that lets you make your armor all destroyed in different parts with different kinds of scaring possibilities:
Head (left, right), chest plate (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right), arms (top left, top right, lower left, lower right), legs (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right), boots (left, right).
The ability to transfer all armor gained in Halo 3s multiplayer over to Reach (unless they can be unlocked in Reach as well). Also, lots more armor permutations such as:
SPI armor like in GoO, Mark IV like in Halo Wars, Those are all the ones I can think of now, but there are many more. Also, Elite armor (if available in game) should have as many -if not more- armor permutations than the Spartans.
Anyway that's my 2869 cents, I realize that this is a tall order, but it's basically everything I would want the game to have in terms of armor customization. Peace.

would like to see the armor from halo wars the name escapes me right now

I want to see all the armor variants from Halo 3 to be transfered over. I would also liek to see a FULL ODST armor set. ALmore more customizeable regions of body like forearms and legs. MOre colors as in more shades or each color. I would also like to see if they could resize Brutes and make them playable in MM. I doubt they would but I would love to see Brutes none the less.

It is my latest cultural research project! By randomly saying LOLWIN to semi-funny replies on the Halo 3 forum, I hypothesize that a temperary self-esteem boost will be present.

And once they read this, they will be a little worse off than before.

This.


Hmm... The ability to customize groin pieces? I would go with Security. Anyway, I am all for customization and campaign detail. It would also be cool if they could take advantage of natal for minor details on the visor (Also, making different proportions based off of who plays[Not = to the players height, but how much it deviates from 7 ft{With a maximum deviation range of about 6 inches}]).

I would also like the ability to semi-change the visor color on a range of colors (ROYGBIV) (Should be changed with a fun slider), and with a brightness that has a fairly slim range (Like blue would go from royal blue to a navy blue. (Since too many hues could be an unfair camouflage)

Even more, the ability to do awesome spartan stuff (Like stealthily assassinate enemies with your bare hands [aka: grab them and throw them a mile])

Prone would also be nice. Oh, and sprinting. And choosing 1st or 3rd person view for vehicle seats. And more vehicles. Oh, iron sights.

Anyway, that is pretty much all I can think of (In the process of writing this post I forgot what the topic was about, so I eventually reached a point in which I just started spouting out ideas)

ELITE HONOR GUARD HELMET AND SHOULDERS!!! Honor Guards are so cool looking, i want to look like one

ODST shoulders and body

Being a noob since 2007.

^^ Do want!

  • 06.20.2009 2:31 PM PDT

I say yes to all of the the above!!!

Do it Bungie! DLC Armor etc would be awesome!

  • 06.20.2009 3:03 PM PDT

DLC armour is impossible, or at least highly unlikely. Everybody who plays the game will need to download the armour to be able to see it. That stops Bungie from charging for it.

Also, not everyone who plays Halo downloads everything. I bet there are still a few who don't have the heroic maps.
if there is someway for everyone who plays the game to get the armour downloaded, then it's possible.

  • 06.20.2009 3:11 PM PDT

DLC armour? Why would I want to pay more money...

  • 06.20.2009 3:13 PM PDT

Well the armor could be downloaded with new updates and unlocked with Microsoft points and/or achievements ;D

It's not that it would have to be necessary, it is just to add on to the experience. You wouldn't need to download it, but it was widely requested by people when H3 came out.

I would love to be able to spend an hour customizing my Spartan or Elite.

Also many of you are complaining about ODSTs and Brutes. Any reason? I don't see why they can't hurt the game. I only see it as a plus.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Well, I doubt that we're going to see anything revolutionary. Probably just Mark V and the variations for special classes. Pretty much what we see right now. Of course, they may add new things that "didn't exist before" and maybe more customization (arms, legs).

NY Giants
Miami Heat

After I beat the game I get to do campaign with MP armor.

  • 06.21.2009 2:25 PM PDT

I think an idea would be to be able to individually colour armour pieces, like eack arm or leg section. I would love to play as a marine, but i can see there might be issues with balance, so maybe just full ODST armour (maybe an unlock for finishing Halo: ODST on legendary?).
Also, full rouge armour... just because it would look awesome
