Along with new armor permutations I think there should be armor accessories. The katana body piece is basically what I mean, except accessories have thier own armor slot. There could be things like the elite's cermonial staves, ODST backpack, Brute jetpack (doesn't actually work), Jackal eyepiece, and more!

None of these have effects in game, but they would be cool new ways to customize your character even more! What do you guys think?

Who cares? I'm much more interested in the actual game, not stupid armor accessories.

Some might be cool, but it's unimportant IMO. I'm not going to say yes or no, I'm fine either way.

Well everybody already made threads on other things, this just a side suggestion, its not like its harming other ideas.

ive always liked the personal side of halo 3's armor permutations. i cant wait to see if they add more armor in reach. i love all the designs, and the community makes them more than they really are. i for one am mostly excited about the new armors!

if they brought out accesories, some that were useable, ay like a katana, but useable, that would be good, you could have a range finder, and it could tell you if the shot/s you would take would be effective or not, a machette on the leg, to pull out at close range,remote detonators, with the buton built into the wrist armour, dual ninja swords on your back, so you could run upto some elite, chop off its head, then serve soup in it.

If they let you play as Brutes in Halo Reach multiplayer than one accessory that you could have would be a shoulder flag. http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/6/63/BruteCaptain02.jpg I personally don't like it, but someone else might have a different opinion. Besides they could make the flags look cooler in Halo Reach.

while brutes would be great, the first strike book specificaly states that brutes had never been used in military operations before, and shouldn't pose much of a threat (and grace died, john had to wrestle one). while this is only partly true, as the second alien race contacted by human's was the brute, first being the Jackal, third being yan'me and fourth being grunt... why screw up the story line putting brutes in military ops before the FS book? it's against lore in many ways (brutes were stronger and as fast as spartans, minus kelly, had the same power and better energy shields dependant on rank as elites and there fore spartans as spartan shields are runoffs of elite and jackal shields.)

armor perms are enough without having spartans wear covenant technology just to confuse everyone.

BAM!!!!! you just got sniped!

i think that would be awsome, but like what everyone else have been saying its umportant. besides, it almoost looks like theyre going 2 do that anyway because if u look at the banner above it looks like the spartans have accessories.

i would like to see more gear on the Spartans. I mean no one including a spartan would run into battle with only two guns on the back. Bungie should show like grenades on the spartan, and if they have a bubble shield they should make it so that you can see it on the belt of a spartan. so accessories would show that the Spartans have some gear.

So wait...what? First of all, its not like the multiplayer will have spartans vs. the covenant (even if this does happen, you can still know who your teammates are), so looking like the covenant won't be a problem, not to mention you will not even look like the covenant by just wearing a staff on your back or a Jackale eyepiece.

If you mean that story-wise it wouldn't make sense for multiplayer, well it already doesn't make any sense at all, Spartans fighting Spartans and Elites vs. Elites? I have no idea where your coming from.

Again same thing, multiplayer has NOTHING to do with the actual story, brutes in multiplayer would be fine, its not like multiplayer now fits the story perfectly. Not at all. Also, I'm suggesting these accessories for anybody to use, Spartans or Elites, you don't have to be an Elites for a cermonial staff, atleast thats how I see it, but maybe there should be SOME accessories that are only for Spartans and some that are only for elites, that way we don't see Elites with and ODST backpack, would look kind of wierd, but there should be a decent amount for everybody's use.

I want the game to be focused on balance and over all gameplay. This should only be added once the important aspects of the game have been dealt with.

Yeah, I know none of these will have effects in the game, and its just a side suggestion, in other words, I know there is more important things to suggest, but I'm just putting this out there.
