*SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE SANGHEILI'S WAR THING* How about the single-blade energy sword from the "A Sangheili's War is Never Over"? (the one the Arbiter uses at the end)

Nice Hat!

IMO
and I stress that

Elites should have more permutations.
I think that elites should be able to remove their helms because that would look awesome.

add a few chest perms that don't look the same and The elites would be fine.

But.

And I mean this is a bit to ask for.

BUT.

Where is the full body paint options? It's getting to the end of the 360 life cycle.
Halo can do a full body paint with more than just a few colors.

Even if I have to go online and do it I would still like to have the option to paint my armor the way I want it.

If that means getting somebody drawing dicks on their armor what is the difference between that and what is in out fileshares now?

That could mean having awesome clan armor.

You could do a sweet design and the stencil your name across the back of your armor.
Emblems should also be able to be designed, distributed, and placed by the players.

Add to that battle damage and you have some of the coolest customizations out there.

Bungie did a great job on Halo 3, hell they've done good on everything I've ever played by them.

The way they have evolved their game seems like besides a Forge and Saved Film overhaul, ( fix glitches of the bad kind, maybe more options with saving films, clips from campaign, etc. etc.) It seems like this is a very possible step.

Something I forgot.

As for katana, I think it should be under something called misc. Item.

Things that you can place on your armor and have such as the Katana.

That way you can have a Katana with your Scout or Recon Chest piece ( Although a katana/recon variant sounds incredibly LAME IMO)

You could have the Spartan Knife attached to a thigh or custom lights on your armor.

The customization options in Halo 3 are a step above Halo 2, which was a step above Halo 1.

Don't be surprised if Halo: Reach adds at least some of the features.

I just realized that I am not on my own account.
I am over at a friends house and I accidentally signed in as him.

And a recon counterpart

It's funny to see that most of the posters above have no idea what you want.

Yes, I want a katana counterpart for Elites in Reach. An Honor Guard pike, some armor permutation perhaps.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

If by "counterpart" you mean an armor set where there's a weapon attached to it, then sure, but make it the staff that the Honor Guards wield. Sure, it would look silly, but so does the Katana...

No one should have a katana. Ninja Gaiden is a terrible game and regardless of it's company including a Spartan in Dead or Alive 4, it should not have been referenced with the Hayabusa armor. The most hideous thing ever to be put into a Halo game.

No. More. Katanas.


Well if you say it it must be a fact.

no, its a spartan thing


What? I can think of nothing less Spartan than a friggen Katana.

Anyhow, maybe like some honor guard decorative gear, or an honor guard staff on the back. I know it's totally impractical, but i'd LOVE a council member headdress.

Everything I could want in this post.

Yes on the Elite Recon, whoever came up with that is very clever.
It sounds awesome.

They shouldnt be taken out. tghey should be taken out of hardcore playlists. I would be extreemly upset If I couldnt be an elite in Social or ranked when there is more of a choice to not get headshots only

  • 07.06.2009 6:57 PM PDT

recon on an elite would look stupid, i don't understand this. seeing an elite with an energy sword would be annoying as everyone would think they had a sword and back away. Katana would be cool, and they definintly need more custimazation options.

  • 07.06.2009 7:04 PM PDT

There might not be elites in Reach since we will be murdering them in the story :)

we were murdering them for part of halo 2 but we could play as them then

  • 07.06.2009 7:54 PM PDT

I dont think they should have a katana but honor armor from halo 2 should definatly be an option in the future.

I'd be quite happy to have some honor guard armour piece. They looked badass.

  • 07.07.2009 1:49 PM PDT

to possibly show that they killed a human ancestor of a spartan

  • 07.07.2009 2:25 PM PDT

I'm everywhere, I'm it.

It's only fair, however the Spartans are the main multiplayer model.

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

I belive the Spartans should get the Katana and Elites get the Honor Guard Pike, both should be useable in multiplayer, as long as the Katana was changed to Covanant/Forunner & UNSC tech so people would stop complaining how "OMGZZZ HOWZ DAT METALZ ZWORDS BLOKIN DAT PLAZMAS ENERGY ZWORDS???!!!!!11 :O". Like make the blade part Covanant energy and the back part Forunner, and say that it is an ONI prototype.
