Subject: Master chief customizable armor?

Would it be cool if in the CE remake you could change master chief's armor? His helmet and primary color would stay the same, but I think it would be cool if you could change his chest armor, shoulder pads, and stuff like knee guards too. even though this will probably not happen, I still think it would be awesome.

Halo is one of the few games that actualy has a story that is worth paying attention to. Some people actualy pay attention to it and care. The fun aspect is just a side effect of that.

....Are you serious? Let me remind you...This is a video game. To be more specific, it's an FPS. This genre is focused around action, mayhem and carnage. No one will care about the story if they have to force themselves to keep playing! Halo's main appeal is the fact that it's incredibly fun to play. The story that was built around gameplay comes in second. If you don't like having the ability to change MC's armor...than keep yours default!

You should be able to change body structure and facial features, to make your spartan look like you. Also, you should be able to choose how tall and short he/her is. In addition to added mass but better muscle mass, so if you had a lot of muscle mass you would be slower but stronger. But, if you were "light-weight" you would be faster (a lot faster) but a little weaker. You should also have a small visor-outline that doesn't interfere with game play much. At the same time being realistic. You should be able to customize armor in the way that it will actually provide extra health with more weight captivity. The same should be with Tactical Soft Cases and (New!) Backpacks. Which means more default ammo for you when you spawn.

I am rather certian that when an FPS like this has books based on it that sell in numbers almost as massive as the games that some people do care about the story. The comics based after the game are good enough to compete with Spider Man. Halo Legends and Halo Evolutions expand the story even more.

They would not be there if people did not care.

If this game had no story then Halo 1 would end up somthing like this: soldies wearing modern military costumes colored red and blue shooting eachother for no apparent reason with M16 assault rifles with 60 round magazines.

Is that fun? Maybe for a little kid with the attention span of a fly it would be. Its the science fiction element (the base of the story) that turns the soldiers into spartans, the M16s into MA5B assault rifles, the map from a box with rooms into Blood Gulch, and a typical repetitive FPS (kinda like COD) into what you know it as today.

I am not saying all FPS games have to be sci-fi to be cool. I am just saying they have to be in a believable world where what you do in the game makes sense.

All of the sci-fi aspects of the game can be explained by modern science.

Oh, I almost forgot...

Watch Bungie's video on the front page. They almost cut the multiplayer for Halo 1. That would have left nothing but the story and aliens to kill. The story came first. Halo: The Fall of Reach was released months before Halo 1. Most aspects of the story was created way before the gameplay.

Dude, chill. It was just a thought. I don't care if it would break the Halo "canon", I just thought it would be cool. Who says that master chief most definitely had THIS type of shoulder pad and nothing else? I said that the color and helmet would stay the same, so don't tell me to GTFO because of something that they probably wont' even put into the game anyways.

Lol.... Where are you basing that from? I'm 99% sure that's complete crap. At least 80% of Halo players haven't even seen a Halo book before. (Not to take away from the books themselves. They're spectacular, I'm just saying that there's no way that the books sell anyone near as much as the games)

I wasn't refering to numbers of sales compared to the games. I was trying to imply that the success of the Halo books over other books mirrored how the Halo games succeded over other games.

Some of the books got New York Time's Best Seller. That is somewhat equivillant to how the games sell millions of copies.

Don't deny what you were saying. You clearly said "that sell in numbers almost as massive as the games."

If you make a mistake, own up to it. Don't try to cover it up.

I liked the idea for reach, but I dont see it working with chief. People have just come to know him the way he is.

  • 08.31.2011 1:31 PM PDT

If anything was to happen to the Cheif's armor other then the graphical update then it should be this.

If you walk into a tree or bush then you have leaves and twigs on you. It would make hilarious screenshots.

eh, making it possible to be customized does not mean you are forced to alter his MJOLNIR suit in the campaign, so relax!^^

They said they wouldn't talk about new armor or anything, so I am REALLY COUNTING on there being new armor, even like the re-done spartan-1177 armor!

  • 09.02.2011 5:44 PM PDT

Well, yes and no. It should be all original Master Chief armour but if you go to the OPTIONS section then you can change his armour. I'd rather play as Master Chief in Combat Evolved with Master Chief armour.

Am I the only one who thinks that the player IS master chief?

ya, Mark V armor is a little ugly anyways. Thats why i go with hayabusa

  • 09.02.2011 6:23 PM PDT

I hope we can change our armor in CEA , helmets, colors, and all

For those of you who say this breaks canon (whicch it does not, canon wil always say that MC lloks like MC), then logically co-op should not be added to CEA because John was he only Spartan on Halo and he did not have three other spartans helping him.

Welcome to Missing the Point 101! I think you'll do just fine here.

I am rather certian that when an FPS like this has books based on it that sell in numbers almost as massive as the games that some people do care about the story. The comics based after the game are good enough to compete with Spider Man. Halo Legends and Halo Evolutions expand the story even more.

They would not be there if people did not care.
They released 1 book prior to CE. Everything else is 10 years worth of Hindsight aimed at an expanded universe. People care about the story because it was told well within the limits of a game.
Since I've already touched upon the whole "No fun, no sales" shpeel, I'll spare you the repetition. Oh, and good enough to compete with Spiderman? I'd seriously like to see your source on that one. P.S. Spider-man sucks.

If this game had no story then Halo 1 would end up somthing like this: soldies wearing modern military costumes colored red and blue shooting eachother for no apparent reason with M16 assault rifles with 60 round magazines. Have you even seen the Alpha stages of Halo?! They might as well have called it Slightly less generic space marine: Mac Edition

I am not saying all FPS games have to be sci-fi to be cool. I am just saying they have to be in a believable world where what you do in the game makes sense. Halo's just as believable as it is unbelievable. The fact that we use bullets is a little fishy for 2552. The fact that the rifles are so low powered is just straight up ridiculous to me. Technology grows in leaps and bounds. If they can run a Warthog on hydrogen, than I'm 100% sure we'd have found a more effective way to kill ourselves by then.

All of the sci-fi aspects of the game can be explained by modern science. Your point? Most modern sci-fi uses actual science to back its' story.

Watch Bungie's video on the front page. They almost cut the multiplayer for Halo 1. That would have left nothing but the story and aliens to kill. The story came first. Halo: The Fall of Reach was released months before Halo 1. Most aspects of the story was created way before the gameplay Again, what's your point? Of course they had a rough idea of the CE story. You generally have one before you start developing a game. But it doesn't matter if you have an award winning story written by Isaac Asimov himself...If it aint worth playing (FUN!) then the game gets axed in the alpha stages. Oh, and since we're on the topic, rewatch the exact same vidoc. Pay close attention to when they talk about the lines forming up to play the game. All of those lines were for multiplayer.

Does Halo have an amazing story? -blam!- YA it does! But it's been built off of the success spawned from that 1 game that made a billion great memories. You remember, that one game that was really really....what's the word? Oh right! Entertaining!

If they change his apearence like the new h4 one I will kill the 343 directors, the master chief is an icon, not a replacment like in reach

Ah yes, I find his helmet very iconic. Thats why I said that his helmet and primary color should stay the same. I don't even remember what his knee pads a shoulder pads look like anymore. But I also said that they probably won't do it anyways, thus, all of his armor shall be the same.
