i think your idea is amazing however i do think that if they add things like knifes and such to the game that your avatar should be easier to hit or at least slowed down a bit also maybe the ability to take armor off to add mobility but take off defense.

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 think we need no more than a Primary, Secondary, and Detail Color (with the ability to "Paintbrush" The Detail color wherever we want, to an extent.). But the ability to add battle scarring/wear, and choose between different types of paint is great.

We are simply talking appearance, making armor change stats would change the way Halo is played; it is based entirely on skill.

I'm sorry that I made you guys mad but I hate people that are muslim do to the fact that the quaran specifically says kill or convert the infidel. You can look it up if you want. I have a mild learning disability. And I am being serious that I have a mild learning disability. I'm in LLD classes for acedemics.

what about like player custimization like you could have:

less armor. move faster, jump higher
lots of armor. move slower but much stronger


or maybe:

punch/melee power

lunge length

:D

YEAH!!! XD i like how u think with the burns and scares in the armor, but i dont think Shiny hunter and grunt blood would look nice, If its limited for arms or a leg and players wouldt be able 2 cover big parts of the body with it, it could be nice. u discribed them as decals so i guess they would be limited. A polka dot or pink tiger-striped spartan on the other hand would just be messed up (u talked about the forza editor). personal maybie but... like not halo kinda. The scares, mud and frost burns would be awesome looking tho, like claw scares, plasma burns and such :)

yea i also think that you should be able to customize every color on every piece of your armor with a "spray paint" type thing what do you think
p.s. you read my mind ( :

  • 07.03.2009 3:05 PM PDT

brilliant idea. just brilliant. the other cool features, blood and scarring are the best. Visor difference is great too.
simple patterns is quite good, it would work, it would be cool having your logo on your back.

I doubt material editor is necessary though, since going into so much just to make your character look good is kinda unecessary. That would need more extra programming then everything else, just to put that sheen in your armour?

Here's what I'd like to see in terms of Armor painting:
Head
-Primary: Same as what the primary colour covers in Halo 3.
-Secondary: Same as what the secondary colour covers in Halo 3. Overwritten in a team game.
-Detail: Traces finely the contours of the helmet and the visor.

Arms
-Upper Primary: Same as what the primary colour covers in Halo 3.
-Upper secondary: Same as what the secondary colour covers in Halo 3. Overwritten in a team game.
-Lower Primary: Covers from the elbow to the wrist.
-Gauntlets: Covers the hands

Chest Piece
Primary: Covers the entire chest piece.
Detail: Traces the contours of the chest piece.

Legs
-Upper Primary: Covers from the hip to the knee cap.
-Kneecaps: Covers the kneecap part of the lower leg. Overwritten in a team game.
-Lower Primary: Covers from the kneecap to the calf. Overwritten in a team game.

Boots
-Primary: Covers from the calf to the sole.
-Detail: Traces the contours of the foot. Overwritten in a team game.
In terms of everything else, the blood, debris, and scaring are three things I have always wanted in a Halo game. We can pray right?

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Sounds like a fantastic idea, there would be so many unque Spartans/Elites out there. I'd like to select from a range of preset camos aswell, such as jungle, snow, urban, woodland, desert, spec ops, etc. Who wouldn't like this idea? Apart from narrow-minded people who think that it's up to them what armour permutations other players have.

Do that which is right.

To be honest, I'd rather have the developer's efforts be placed into a grater variety of permutations than a greater variety of detailing options: Although I would like to see some new, more varied, colors, the shape and three-dimensional design of my avatar carries more personal weight than my two-dimensional coloring.

Dont fire until you see the whites of their eyes

well with the team color problem that can be fixed with the tag above your head that shows your name can be the color of your team and only they can see it so you can keep you custom armor the same

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Too much detail.

PPPPPP--POWER!

I think this is a very good idea and would add another unique twist to the game. I'm all for it.

It's a cool idea. I'm more hoping for a greater level of armour permutations rather than texturing and effects; so I'd like to see backpieces, arm armour, gloves, upper leg, lower leg and boot permutations added to the mix as well as add-ons like helmet accessories, ammo pouches, grenade belts etc.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

If any of these ideas where implemented, Machinimas would have so many more options.

like you should have a helmet with scratches on the visor and some of the paint rubed off and faded. and and it should have some rust spts on it too. it would look epic i think.

Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

I'd like it if you would have to unlock many of the different options. Threw both xbox live and campaign achievments.

"Were it so easy...."

-Thel'Vadam aka. the Arbiter-

This idea of yours to customize characters would be astonishing indeed! In my opinion it would work as far as there wouldnt be any too "RPG"- like features [your armor would give you certain advantages].

I also want to say that the mandibles of elites could be edited too! [in case they are shown]

  • 07.08.2009 12:57 PM PDT

add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

I like this.

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

I see one other problem and that would be the size of the progamming code for this. One option would be getting rid of emblems seeing how this replaces them. Otherwise we have to make it DLC and keep it on your hard drive
