Every combination of halo 3 armor is set up in a program that can composite the various pieces together. That's not really hard, just data heavy.
The huge increase and complexity of Reach variations makes this not possible. And the service record renderer, while it keeps up now, that has only been the case recently. By the time it became acceptable perf wise to use in the forums, we had moved on from Halo Reach support (which means no new Reach-related features for bungie.net).

But we can already do them with Halo 3 spartans and there's no issues.Yes I noticed that, I always wondered why you did it though.
As in, why make each avatar indiviually, when you already have the photo of a spartan?
Couldn't you just crop it or something? Is the photo made in a specific way?
It seemed strange to take one photo for the spartan and another for the avatar.

You load that picture on one page.
The server would have to load a bunch of pictures like that, all different in appearance, color, and armor.
:DThat's not exactly what Achronos meant.
He'd only have to do it once, but he'd have to do it once every time you changed your spartan and for every single member and with all the different combinations starts to become a real pain.
Once the avatar is done he only needs to load the image, putting no real load on the server, on the other hand what confuses me is the distinction with avatar and spartan.
