In Halo: Reach, I would like to see a way too fuse armor helmets, shoulders and bodies together individually. Meaning that you could have a ODST Helmet with the spikes of a Hayabusa helmet, A Scout Helmet with the build of an Elite's original Head, or anything else your creative mind can think of. Or maybe Bungie (God Bless) could release a separate disc for the Xbox 360 for all Halo FPS Games on the system that gave the player the ability and the tools to legally modify and create their own unique armor. This could be a way to create near-complete Individuality in the Halo Universe. People can always copy your emblems but if this kind of armor upgrade was put in place, you could almost always be picked out of a crowd.

I came up with this idea from a video I saw on youtube showing still-shots of helmets fused together and myself as well as a multitude of friends agreed that the helmets/head looked like a brilliant idea and deserved to be brought into the light.

The video on youtube I watched

The helmets alone could make individuality possible in Halo Multiplayer, but the idea of full armor customization could mean the skys the limit. It would give the Halo Universe the bit of polish that it still requires to re-kindle the Bungie Flame. I have noticed that former Halo Fanboys are taken over now by newer titles like CoD: WaW. If people who own Halo 3 or any of it's Xbox 360 or PC sequals heard the news that new armor customization was being released, it would make the universe flood with players like never before.


Feedback is appreciated!

Armor custimization would be pretty cool, but probably impossible to implement. Maybe you could share custom armor perms like you can maps and gametypes?

If this comes out, I'm for sure giving my spartan a 6-pack XD

Custom armor perms? No thanks. I'd rather bungie work on real features and content rather than develope a superfluous editor for a superficial aesthetic.

Besides, in the mass produced technocracy that we live in today there can be no such thing as "near-complete Individuality."

And whats to stop all the 8 year olds from making dick helmets?

Just throwing that out there. Custom armor like this is a bad idea.

-blam!- the Free World!!!!

While it may look cool, this would be the wrong direction for Bungie. While we do need some sort of customization, armor/weapon customization would be going overboard. Maybe you should be able to put your emblem on you weapon, but other than that, nothing(at least between weapon/armor perms). Besides, its not like you see yourself while playing, so what does it matter? Bungie could work on bigger, better things.
