In the "Drop into Firefight" piece featured on the homepage, it says

(yes, there are custom armor permutations for use in Firefight)

But in a video that's been circulating around here, it seems like you'll only be able to pick one of the 6 characters already known in the campaign. I'm kinda disappointed because I was looking forward to tricking out my ODST, and now I'll have to be someone pre-determined. Frowny face :-(

I think you can either have a Character, or a custom character of your own.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

From what we've seen, you can pick your character and then choose wether you want their helmet on or off. From there, you may be able to customize their armor.

honestly i don't really know exactly at the moment but i do know that in fire fight you can choose one of the odst's and then choose if you want his helmet to be on or not. That's all i know right know.

I really hope it's the latter.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

You are to pick a character, choose which helmet/body plate/shoulders they get. (Not for Sgt. Johnson) and then you get to customize the color.

I meant to say its both. You can choose to have a story character, or have a custom one.

Choose a character, but customize your colors and emblem.

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

and how!

In one of the screenshots it seems that 3 people are playing as The Rookie but they all have slight differences on their armor, so perhaps we will pick a character and then have some options. I think that would rock.

Death to rank junkies.

I think you can do both, seeing in this screenshot an ODST has a black stripe on his helmet, and none of the ODSTs in the squad have one.

I think we pick a character, than customize their emblem, colors, etc.

u know we should be able to customize the legs too cus some of the characters have ammo around thier legs and some dont but they have something else. i dunno i just think it would be cool if we could customize everything

Do remember though, that was the Demo. In the Halo 3 Beta, we only had the choice of colours but no armour perms. I would imagine they kept it out so people dont see all of the armour variants before the release.
