Subject: Player Customization in Firefight

I have been reading the weekly updates, but I have been getting conflicting reports. What are the customization options for your character in Firefight?

I know you can have a 4 letter tag, but I'm wondering about armor. I've read that you can pick out bits and pieces like in Halo 3 multiplayer. But the presence of unlockable characters like Johnson and Dare, and the ability to remove helmets makes me think that you can only choose predetermined character models. Anyone have any insight on this?

Also, if we do have the ability to remove helmets, and we can assume that default character for Firefight is the Rookie, does that mean that his face will be commonly seen?

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

With the Rookie I am going to say we will see his face by the end of the story. I am willing to bet on it. With that i'm going to say you'll be able to take his helmet off but it will only be unlocked if you beat the game on heroic or up.

Maybe it will be in the Legendary ending.

If you ever try and fail.....erase all evidence that it was you who tried

Yes You Can Customize your character in Firefight TO A LIMIT. You can mess with symbols and all that but you CAN NOT Switch the armor the character has on. The only difference that you can make on the ODST character with armor perms is taking off their helmets
