Hmm.. i am afraid.. so afraid to post my ideas.. :(

OK well i am unsure if this has been posted, i looked but got tired so here goes:

I would like fully customizable characters, not just Colours and emblems, I'd like to see you customize your starting weapon or and option at having a helmet or not, maybe costumizing the face that your multi-player spartan will have.

Just a thought.

That seems like a pretty good idea.
Might have to change some things around, and do certain things to do that but, good thought.

Well yeah, thats why its Halo 3, it'll be a different game so it'll obviously have some big changes made to it. The custom built wont have any change on game-play, just the look of it, thought it could be fun.

Brilliant. A man spawning with a rocket launcher is next to an enemy spawning with a magnum. Great thinking.

Wrong, i didnt mean you choose the weapon you start with, you choose how it looks. If everyone starts with the same weapon, you should be able to have a design you create on it. If someone drops the weapon, the design stays on for the next person to pick it up. I didnt say it would be costumized gameplay, i said look.

Very good idea except for the helmet idea

Yeahh just a thought, but maybe you could add designs to your Spartans armor and stuff. If they add new playable characters ( marines, grunts, hunters, brutes etc) they could add stuff for the fun of it, would add to the interactivity.

Yeah i wouldnt like the idea of playing as a nameless marine, but brutes wouldnt be too bad, just scrap the weapon idea.

Yeah not too sure about the weapon idea, but other than that I like it. I would have dark grey armour, and a blue visor, that way I would look some what like a Helljumper.

You should get to choose the different sections of the armor. Different Helmets, Gloves, Torso, Arms, Legs, Boots. Also mabie have the different versions of the armor, like the one Master Chief had in Halo and then the upgraded version in Halo 2.

Misfit:

Two things:
1: You did not say look you clearly said "I'd like to see you customize your starting weapon or and option at having a helmet or not" When you say customize a gun it usually implies chaning the gun in some way- clip size, barrel, stock, trigger, that sort of thing.

2: It might be kind of cool to have a little emblem on your gun, but in the end it would be a waste of resources, Why have an engine proccess a hundred little different guns in a zone when it could just do 4 guns 25 times? The use of customizing your gun is hardly worth it- maybe blue guns would be different than red, or something simple, but even that seems like a waste.
Why on earth would a soldier choose to take their helmat off in the middle of a battle? Especially since it has a HUD which provides valuable information to the soldier, as well as the crazy gell stuff that cools so it is not heating the person up, as well as A LARGE PIECE OF METAL AND SHIELD AROUND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE BODY!


Perhaps more customization of the armor, amount of damage and such things would be fun, but Halo 2 took too long to create charactors for people trying to jump right into a new game, so there should be several defaults.

1.Yeah, i know i didnt express my idea correctly but then i corrected myself in the following post in response to the other person.. I did not mean costumizing the weapon, just the design of it. Just like saying you costumize the Chiefs armor doesnt mean you make stronger or more efficient, well in my mind it doesnt.. but yeah, sorry dude

2. Maybe make it like a group thing, or a clan emblem, so your clans guns have there emblem on it.. sure it would be alot for the system to handle, but it is xbox 360 so it is supposed to handle extreme detail.. which is what i look for.. Sure its a waste, but its interactive and fun.
Hmm yeah you are obviously right lol, i dont know maybe have a variety of helmets to choose froms, maybe be able to add designs and specific colours to different parts to it. Maybe give you a marine helmet or something in that sort. Maybe for Arbiter, give him a Hunter head. Plus i was thinking more for multi-player, so its not really about the protection and stuff, its about shooting each other to death, the look would just add for fun, but it was kind of a dumb idea to have a helmet off, just thought it could be fun.

They should give you a default character, which is just the normal one, or a random option that sticks together parts of there list of addable pieces.

  • 06.26.2006 9:42 PM PDT

Anecdotal Evidence Proves Nothing.

Random generators like this hardly ever work, which make them so much fun. Having different sized armor pieces might unbalance the gameplay, but small differences would be cool

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

The visor of the Spartan and to edit the HUD's color would be cool.

Your other ideas stink.

Ok enough caffiene for this kid....its ok relax bud. But anyways, wrestling games have been doing the whole customize your character thing for years upon years which makes me believe that if bungie wanted to do more like that, they could. I love customizing my characters on games. One of my fav features of games that have it actually. So yeah, if halo3 had some more customizing options that would kick ass

Halo 3 is a first person shooter, not the sims

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

From my topic, please go and contribute, and read the other ideas...thanks.

===The Player===
* Color slider for more unique colors
* Change color of faceplate
* Add minimal battle damage/scratches to different parts of your armor.
* More icon options
* Add your custom icon on 1 (min.) to 5 places (max.) on your body.
* Change undersuit color.

Male Human
MK V MJOLNIR armor
MK VI MJOLNIR armor
MK VII MJOLNIR armor (if they include the Spartan IIIs)

Female Human
MK V MJOLNIR armor
MK VI MJOLNIR armor
MK VII MJOLNIR armor (if they include the Spartan IIIs)

Elite
Regular Elite armor
Zealot/Ultra/Spec Ops (They have Spikier armor)
The Arbiter armor
Elite Honor Guard armor
Heretic rrmor
Heritic Leader Armor

Flood Elite form (with shields)
Regular Elite Flood.

-----
All these characters are about 7ft tall, and would have the same hitboxes like Elites and Spartans have now in Halo 2...This would allow for more customizability, and more immersion while not unbalancing things.
-----
You should also be able to choose each seperate armor section depening on which race you choose ( so you could have the MK VI helmet on a MK V body, and then have MK VII legs) and choose each seperate armor plate sections color, via a color slider.
-----
The player's secondary Weapon, and a bandoleer of his/her nades should be shown on the player Model.

Yes, but its multi player, it doesnt have to be realistic, just look at super jumping.

Sure its protection, but its also a game, making it NOT REAL thus, not needing to make it realistic.

Superjumping wasn't an intended feature though. Bungie won't let us play without a helmet..

There's no point to it. It's not a Spartan without a helmet.

Also, what if a person gets shot in the head with no helmet? He won't survive 2 Battle Rifle shots or even few splats of plasma.
