Subject: A Question on GRD/BOB.

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

Right, before we start, YES I AM AWARE NO NEW ARMOUR CAN BE ADDED IN TO THE GAME AS IT IS. Got that? Right.

Ok, so we know that it would take a massive title update to the whole system for new armour to be able to be added into the game. Alternatively, new armour would only able to be active on arbitrarily designated "new maps".

My question is this: Now that Halo CE:A is out, with its own restrictive playlist that can ONLY be accessed through a copy of CE:A, does that designate it as "new maps"? Hypothetically, could armour be added through CE:A and restricted to those maps within the CE:A playlist?

This is of course all conjecture. My own opinion is that this is all one big trollfest aimed at the community by M$, centered around the prospect of new armour. I'm just curious of the specifics.

Like I said, my own personal opinion is it's going to be a continual trollfest. The dolls just kinda proved that to me.

Don't get me started on the damned colour palette. I still fail to understand how Red in team games is vibrant, rich and deep, yet the Red we get as a colour choice looks like someone barfed up food dye.

they should make a colour wheel so you can have what you want, painting separate pieces of armour would be nice to

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I second this.
We shouldn't be able too just have the option to have Primary Colour and Secondary Colour for all of our armour. We should be allowed to pick a colour of the indiviual pieces like the gauntlets, helmet, torso, legs, feet ... etc.

they need leg armour too, all the beefy armour in reach looks stupid because the legs are still skinny, if they made leg armour to beef up the legs it wouldnt look so bad

They could have made it happen, but you would only have been able to select said armor from the CEA version of the main menu. They didn't though, and Reach doesn't have a way to read tags from an external location, such as a new dlc file, so unless they figure out how to modify that part of the game code in a title update, it's not going to happen.

I wouldn't say impossible...just highly improbable since 343 outsources pretty much everything they do, and those people are working on H4.

Thanks :) Like I said, I reckon it's all one big troll, but I was curious about potential.

343 should focus on making good gameplay first, THEN work on the Barbie customisation.


And also no, making map-specific armor is stupid.

Never said it was a good idea. In fact, it was a 343 employee who stated that was one of they ways it COULD be done, not that that was how it WOULD be done.
