Hey, the other day i purchased the Marine Armor for my avatar.
( this IS ODST related - its in the ODST section )

I was under the impression that you could pick and choose what pieces you wanted to use, because the helmet looks way dumb.. Hopefully in the near future (or with the ODST armor) they make it more flexible.

This is just a heads-up to anyone who is thinking about buying it.

I had some extra points and some of the armor looks similar to paintball gear.

I'm planning on getting the odst armor and I'm pretty sure that it will come as a helmet and armor two piece set. I'm also hoping it will come as an avatar award but I'll be willing to buy it anyway
odst's are badass =)

I looked at the marine armor and it made my male avatar look like he has a woman's figure. I don't know if it is like that for everyone or just me.

I think it will be an award. Otherwise it would be out by now.

Bungie.net is the place to be!

Amidst the snowfall, the cold does little to diminish his wishes to be free. The eagle is chained and has no way of breaking free. No matter how much he flies, he still is chained. The blizzards do nothing to break his determination and in his eyes, he will be freed, someday...

Bad habits are like chains that are too light to feel until they are too heavy to carry

Same here. Anyway, why did you buy anything from the avatar marketplace? If there was a game where you actually used your avatar it would make sense but there is no such thing. I don't mean 1 vs 100. I mean a full on game like GTA or Halo. Nothing like that will exist so it is pointless to buy clothing or armor for something you can't use.

"Welcome to the Greatest Show Unearthed"

It makes my avatar look girlish too, but I didn't buy it so I'm good. :3

I think all of their avatar stuff is way overpriced anyway. Seriously! 400mps = $5

I don't see why they are putting avatars in games other than arcade games. It looks kind of silly if you ask me.
