Here's an idea I was thinking about earlier. Why not have a system for Halo Reach's multiplayer in which players are awarded special points for winning matches, being MVP, or even getting certain medals in matchmaking playlists. These points would then be able to be spent on new armor variants for Spartans and Elites. You could maybe even purchase new color choices for the armors. There'd be a large selection of armors, thus not everyone would have the same exact armor types.

Anymore ideas on this topic?

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.”

I like unlockables.

I like EXP systems like GOW2 and Modern Warfare.

Combining them sounds good to me.

It would be really in depth and dynamic if there were lots of armor pieces, and lots of armor locations. And if you could only unlock Spartan armor while playing as a Spartan, and Elite armor when playing as an Elite, it would be cool.

Instead of just head, shoulders, and chest, you could add in backpacks, shin pieces, and gauntlets.

Bringing in all of the armors from Halo 3 would be a great start.

I do like the idea of backpacks, shin pieces, and gauntlets.

However, the idea of only unlocking Spartan armor or Elite armor when you are playing the corresponding character seems somewhat unfair for people who like to play as both.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

If I could sponsor this, I would.
