I know that in halo 3,bungie anounced that armor perms could not be added, because of how they were programed into the game.Sence reach will be using a new game engine,there should be downloadable armor in reach.Bungie would make some,and every 4 months, they would hold a armor building contest.If you enter, bungie would send you a 3d armor generator(If they havent already sent you one).You would build your armor and send it to them.The winner,would get their armor put on the marketplace,and youll recieve 2000G and 2000MSP.Thoughts?

Well people have been wanting/asking for it since H3 came out, so hopefully it will be implemented in Halo: Reach.

Dedicated driver.

No. I'd prefer if every armor permutation would be unlockable in game instead of sold on the Marketplace.

I'd like to see a whole bunch of new armors and I'd love to see an entire Mark V set instead of just the Helmet. But every achievement in the game should unlock it's own armor part if you ask me. I'd never pay for armor, it's an FPS, not a dress-up doll.

The EOD chest and the Security shoulders look too similar to the mark v chest and shoulders,so unless they take eod and security out of armor perms,there probably wont be mark v chest,or shoulders.

It's not possible to have Downloadable DLC for armor reasoning being is everyone would have to have the DLC armor if just one person is wearing it. The game gets really laggy if someone doesn't have the armor & the game glitches out of controll. Bungie has tried testing this two or three times. They even said, "it would never happen."

I dont think bungie would stoop so low as to sell armor perms. I Think that they will do something like with each mappack, if you do certain achievments you get the new armour

Also if someone did not download an armour perm pack, what would stop the game from displaying that character in the default armour (most likely a full set of mk v armour). Much like now if your armour does not load you appear to be wearing the the mk vi.

He is trying to say on there screen it will show the DLC they're wearing but lets say you don't have the DLC then on your screen it will show defualt armor on. That is what he is trying to tell you if you don't understand.

I myself don't like the idea, I mean, what about people who can't acess XBL, or the Market place?

  • 09.20.2009 5:21 PM PDT

"You can't touch music, but music can touch you."

Look at the silhouettes of the spartans across the top of the screen, they're all different shapes and sizes and better equipted for different missons, so it's likely there will be armor perms

You mean like the people who can't achieve the armor perms that require multiplayer achievements in the first place? The same ones armor perms don't really make any difference to because they don't play online anyway?

I got live!

It would be cool.

So what you are saying is, just because we can't use XBL, what we want doesn't matter? Believe me when I say, I would like all the armor perms, but I can't because of not being allowed on xbl. Is it really fair that we should not be able to get most of them? Let alone adding it so that we have to BUY the bloody things

How about bungie puts in all the armor perms from halo 3(even recon),and some new ones,and a little more than half of those be unlockable without XBL.Everything else,you would have to get from XBL(like the map packs).

I get that.

I agree you wouldnt even see your own armour it would just be for the ones that have more money then sence and want to show off a bit like some of the people that have recon in halo 3. But i think it has probably crossed their minds they have already done it with avatar cloths and costumes and the thing is their will always be people that will fork out just to tart up their spartan. But i agree it should be unlocked and earned.
