On Armor
-More emblems (of course)
-Custom emblems? (maybe not, we know what happens with games that have sprays)
-More fully customizable paint jobs.
-Text (like your gamertag written in small letters somewhere) or a motto.
-What about the age or condition of your armor?

Any other ideas?
I think that customization that effects gameplay is dumb, like size of body etc.
What do you think?

I couldn't agree more, the whole game revolves around each player being totally equal.

I'm thinking maybe you could have like a chameleon paint job, you'd pick 2 colours and you would reflect more of one or the other off different surfaces depending on the light. It looks wicked on cars, and it would be an excuse for some awesome lighting effects. It'd help distinguish people more too. Like you could tell between the blue-purple guy who you know has the shotgun and the blue-green guy who doesn't, rather than two blue guys one of whom you don't want to get close to.

I reckon they should have unlockable parts, nothing major, but something better than the levels of customisation they have in halo 2, such as 3D models, i.e. spikes on the knees and helmet stuff. Nothing major, just to create a little more diversity. and pearlescent paint jobs would be cool! If a bit of a novelty.

i agree but, as long as it wouldnt effect gameplay. special armor peices would be cool, maybe as an award for unlocking achievements, but not if they give an advantgae over a player or vice versa.

i agree with cleanestfall about the unlockable parts. I'd like to see different helmets and body armor and such though, but nothing that makes the player a bigger target. for example, i wouldn't mind having the option to customize my player into being full steel color, with an ODST helmet and torso, spartan arms, and marine boots.

I'd like to see black back as a multiplayer armor color.

How about unlocking the original armor form halo 1 for beating the game on legendary because quite frankly that will always have a special place in my heart.

Yeah - as you increase in rank (or whatever the ranking system for Halo 3 Live will be), you will be rewarded w/ more customizable armor.

I agree. You should be able to put add-ons onto your armor in multiplayer. Things like an oxygen backpack, a communications radio backpack, etc. If anyone here plays Star Wars Republic Commando, you'd understand what I mean.

That was the only part of Republic Commando multiplayer worth remembering.

I think chameleon would be way to confusing, especially if two people on different teams had the same second color

I don't know, no more confusing than blue/red elites are now with their secondary colours.
But maybe it could be done so that the team colour is dominant.

Maybe you could choose between different armours e.g. mjolnir I and mjolnir II. Or for elites normal covie elites or heritic. Also a color slider thingy would be cool. And viser colorization would be prety good but what would be an elites version coz it all has to be balenced.

what would be awesome is a slight tint of color on your hud, and you can choose the color

how about camouflage or tiger-stripe color patterns?

i think having a spike the goes onto chief's elbow would be cool so that you could elbow someone in the face and have blood dripping from the spike.

but there should be an option to turn it off and on in multiplayer

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i agree with the 2nd poster, regardless of any customizations that they allow for the game, they should not affect gameplay, period. anything and everything should be purely aesthetic. in regards to colors, i would like to see more customization, but there is only so much you can allow before people start custom tuning their colors to match different levels. exe: pick your certain color scheme, start custom game at map that supports current scheme, blend in. could you imagine if halo 2 still had black armor?? imagine playing back wash with that, much harder to spot.

Honestly, this isnt pimp my spartan

Basically all i would want is a color pallete like in Mechwarrior 2

and the option to have the helmet on or off in MP if you have the vision camera..

So you can digitise your face and put it on your spartan model, then take your helmet off in MP...or maybe be visorless at least.


ALSO I wouldnt like Black as an armor cover, but it would be cool as an accent color..

I forget but i think they had some reason for not having black in halo 2. Anyone know why?

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

Rumor ( I am the database of all rumors lol):

Bungie is thinking of letting you either have a purple or orange visor. U may be able to add a picture on you person.
