Subject: Service Records Changing With Holiday Themes

I was thinking about Halloween earlier today, and it started making me wonder. Wouldn't it be cool for the disk to change the Spartans Service Record backround or maybe lighting? I think it would look cool to see a Spartan hidden in darkness, maybe some bats flying around his head. Around December, we could have some snow and sleds in the backround with presents too.

Anything like this I would find really cool. Like the Valhalla wall, except with Service Records on Halo 3.

Children singing carols doesn't quite fit the theme of an apocalyptic fight against a xenophobic alien race.

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

Or special edition Holiday Armor? Santa Claus armor for Christmas. The Headless Spartan Armor for Haloween...THE EASTER BUNNY ARMOR FOR EASTER!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Not particularly necessary.

Seems like a mighty big waste of system resources...

I wish I was still legendary.

Seems pointless. I mean, it's a fun idea, but I'd rather they concentrated on making the actual game the best it can be before adding gimmicks like this. And if it WERE to be in, it would have to be an option that could be toggled - not everyone wants to see their service record with pumpkins/christmas lights on it, different major religions have different holidays on different dates...
