When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

With Anniversary being released, and H4 in development, I doubt 343 will be dedicating any more resources to Reach for development.

Would I take it? Sure. Would it change my enjoyment level? No, because I've been running all default for months now.

How about fixing the game before adding more armor.

  • 11.14.2011 10:17 AM PDT

Yes, I would like some new stuff. I would really enjoy if they brought back Rogue helmet from Halo 3, Loved that helmet.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

...why?

What possible use could any more armor have to improve the game?

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

What's the purpose of Armor Permutations/Effects? Besides taking up disc memory, and being a waste of programing time.

It's not Gears of War where you can see your character.
It's not Fallout where armor has a purpose. Like keeping you alive.

I wish Halo was Halo again. Now it's dress up Barbie.
I wish these kids would leave Halo. And ruin another game.

Now, if the different armor actually had an effect, maybe then some more armor might be useful. But having the different armor do different things is retarded.

Unless, instead of picking a loadout every time you die, your armor would decide your loadout. Maybe.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

It would be nice, but it is not important at all, gameplay tweaks are what is needed more at the moment.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

A DLC for armor would be several gigs, so it wouldn't be efficient or practical to offer it as DLC. I'm tired of seeing the same old stuff too (especially since EVERYONE ranked General and higher look exactly the same), but I'm happy with my current appearance. I'd LOVE some new visor colors to be available, such as red, purple or white, and I also would like there to be more armor effects and colors.

Even in the first 2, you had the option of choosing your colors. It's all about tastes and what people find aesthetically pleasing. Sure, it serves no function whatsoever, but it was meant to add a level of individuality to the game. Personally, I hate to look exactly like everyone else in a game. Even in H2, I'd go with the elite model simply because EVERYONE else chose the spartan.

Having the ability to alter appearances does not effect the core game play at all, so why complain? Yeah, there are tons of boosters and no-lifes who spend every waking hour getting cR just to make their spartan Security Helmet/Double Security Shoulders/Grenadier Chest/Gold Visor. But that's not the point.

There is also the element of mind games. When I first began playing Reach, when I was still a Warrant Officer or something, and before I realized rank =/= skill, if I went up against somebody who was a Colonel with all of the expensive armor on, I was hesitant to play against them. After all, they're high ranked, they LOOK formidable, so maybe I'm gonna get creamed? I know for a fact that I've received several friend invites based solely on the appearance of my armor. Little kids think I'm a good player (which I'm not) just because I wear expensive armor and assume I'd be an asset to their wimpy clans.

Perhaps I'm just rambling on like an idiot, but that's just how I see it. It's customization for the sake of individual tastes, nothing more.

We Surround Them!

As much as I'd love some new "Spartan Barbie" outfits, I'd just rather have a better tweaked game that finally fixes things like the Betrayal system in Multiplayer Matchmaking and the AFK/Pest issues in Firefight. Give us a BETTER game - not more dress-up stuff!

  • 11.14.2011 10:48 AM PDT

Sure why not.

  • 11.14.2011 10:51 AM PDT

What I don't get is why some people think that adding more armor would somehow be a detriment to the game overall. Oh, and before you say "Instead of spending time on the armor they should spend time balancing the game!" the 3D modelers that would be responsible for creating the new armor and the people who playtest and balance the game are on completely unrelated teams. One's time spent in no way influences the other.

So, in summation of my stance:

-Would be nice to have new armor
-Don't particularly care if it doesn't get added
-New armor wouldn't affect game balance either positively or negatively

I only wear armor available in previous games, anyway. And even then, half the classic armor is crap.
