just the other day i came up with an idea, that the Halo armour customisation could do with an update with Reach. i was playing Forza yesterday, for those that dont know it has an excellent vynel creater type thingy. this could be done in reach.
for instance, your emblem, now it can be moved to any body part during online play, or a battle scar, or where the paint on your armour has faded, all to be moved around your body, obviously there would be a lot of armour lag, so only in custom games and your service record picture these things could appear in.
think about it, this could inspire people to do any thing! there would have to be limit to the stuff you put down, but i for one would love creating a message on my back saying "if you can read this then im already dead" out of scratches and scars.
oh and i apologise for any misspellings or typos as im rushing to finsh this before my laptop runs out of battery as i cannot find the charger

The internet is a bad place.

On its own,this would be a good idea.
But i remember in the days that i played Forza2 the auction house had some -blam!- in it if you watched enough cars.

Imagine what the halo Community would do...

But some customisation would be welcome.
(PS You might want to change your topic title to "Armor paint" or something among those lines.)

oh, bungie could have a very small limit of layers.
the title is there to draw attention, its an advertising technique, like a cliffhanger

Good idea, I allways tought they should improve this. But I'm pretty sure they will improve it, might be similar to this.

I just voted "Deja Vu" on it, I've made a post on this in the Reach forums, must have been at least a month old. I came to the conclusion that it would be a bad idea because a bunch of immature people will draw dicks on their armor. Similar to the current situation we have with the -blam!- emblems. Funny, I used the exact same example of Forza's Livery Editor. You did mention something I liked though, moving your emblem to where ever you wanted.

Good idea, then everyone can move their fade from left grenade emblem to a more appropriate place on their body. Genius idea.

lets be honest, theres always gonna be the kind of people that will make a -blam!- out of someting customisable, for those of you who do this for christs sake, if you find a part of a mans anatomy funny, play saints row 2

oh and sorry if this seems like ive copied you, needless to say, i havn't, it does seem like a few people like the idea of moving an emblem, okay, hows this; the limit to the amount of armour damage could be something like three or four

This would be a great idea and I'm sure that the community would make some pretty great stuff, but we have a problem. There would be way to much profanity and I'm sure that's why Bugnie wouldn't add stuff like this. regardless of what Bungie thinks, I love the idea! Naked ladies on my armor! Haha, oh, T-bagging would be a lot more meaningful at that point.

"Dude why are you bagging me! You killed me with Rockies!"

"Your armor! Beyonce is so hawt!"

So if another game already did it, its not really your idea.. is it?

This would be epic, while we're at it, why don't we add custom tags and sprays?

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Decent idea, and as long as Bungie do put some limits on, such as the Grenade Fade around the crotch area, then I see no reason as to why it should not be put in.

thanks guys, i do agree that its not an original idea, but an idea nontheless, this idea is not likely to go through, but at least more customisation options would be nice
