it would be sweet to play as an honor guard even sweeter to have their staff, so you can beat people down with it.

Or you could get Elite Countcelour Armour.\

I also would like camoflage coloured armou. For example ACU, Desert, Woodland, Urban, Tiger Strip, etc...

I would also like to change my lense colour. I would have black.

If you could change your lense color and maybe have different types of camoflauge like Battlefield 2 said the game would rock!

Armor yes, notso much for color.

do you mean customizing shield strength,move speed, target system etc.? cuz tht would be an incredibly dumb idea. i honestly believe it would ruin what halo is about. its not a dam RPG!

I Think that custom armour should only be on muiltyplayer, because in single player you really have no time to change your armour like your on earth chasing the prophets to stop the activation of the rings your not gonna stop just to change and put the world at risk just to look good, and the idea of a custom body hight and wiegh is horrable your not gonna want a over-wiegh M.C. running around trying to say your asses from the covies, he just takes one step and he gets tired, I just agree to being able to pick new units for multiyplayer such as grunts, hunters, marines, brutes, and ect. and also more embiles and colors and maybe u can choose colored visors. Thats my opinion.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

No way MC is not a freaking CLOWN

Hate hate hate to flame, but:

You all need to realize what makes Halo2 so damn great is how easy everything is. Not saying the game is easy, but just getting into it, and getting into Xbox Live is much easier than most First Person Shooters.

Having stupid stuff like armor, height, weight, etc. selectors is just dumb, and over-complicates everything.


I agree with whoever said that there should be full RGB slider deals to pick your color. However, it wouldn't be able to get very dark, because black, or really dark shades of other colors, makes you way harder to see.

yeah i agree with people that think they there should be more colors and maybe more icons. But to say that we should be able to change armour. are you -blam!- kidding me? Geez if you wanna run around with a different color on every section of armour be my guest. While you get harrassed on Xbox Live for being a -blam!-.
And what Geemiee said is true, that darker colors would be an advantage, they would blend in better with the maps, and would make it dull because everyone would figure that out and use dark colors.

That would be quite cool, regardless its very unlikely, and besides, if you dont like spartan colour design then try elites, should they be an option in H3

Personally I believe customizable armour and color would be a good idea. I know that it might get too complicated, but if that is the case for you then go with a default setting. Having armour that you can reduce or add too would be kind of cool. If you take off or make lighter armour than perhaps your agility can increase for each piece you change but your ability to be killed will increase as well. Or if you add heavier pieces or extra ones than your agility could decrease with extra weight and you will be harder to kill but an easier target for explosives.

I am not saying basically become an immobile turret or an over-agile ninja, but perhaps to a certain extreme. Think of this: you have a large multiplayer game going and on each team you have everything from lightweight (easily killed) scouts to heavyweight (slow but hard to kill) foot soldiers. It would be rather enjoyable and give players help in the kind of battle they like.

It would drastically change multiplayer gameplay as we know it from Halo 1 and Halo 2 but then again, there could add an opinion where armour modification could be left out in a match. These things would be extirely left up to the player and match creator.

And yes, being able to change the color of armour would be fun. If you would want to be a color of armour that is rainbow and be an easy target forsharpshooters than be my guess, I will be hunting for you. I think there should be no real limit on colors or designs. Have player numbers or your name on the back if you want it.

I am not saying this is the way that Halo 3 should be made, this is just my opinion on what I personally think would be a decent idea.

Well, said. The whole weight issue would get way out of hand on matchmaking, but as said before, full RGB sliders would make it perfect.

Weights indeed would mess it up. Imagine little kids with no weight so they can superbounce wherever whenever. And whoever suggested that, you and me need to into a quiet, dark ally.

Anyways, yeah, full RGB slides in Helm, Visor, and Armor Parts would be really B-A. No way anyone- not even Bungie- could mess that up.

It should be an option of having either default armour, and increasing the weight makes you weigh more but protected more, or choosing different bits of armor.

How about customizable HUD? You could make your shield bar dark red or something, or you could move your radar in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

You guys don't get it, this is HALO were talking about, not Ghost Recon/ Rainbow Six.
I'm going to start a post about customizable weapons, because I think that might be reasonable in the sense of using it, but it stops at weight hieght, and even gender, that's simply taking away the elements of Halo that make Halo, Halo

I've said this so many times before, and every time I'm ignored. But you have to really think about what your talking about. It would be cool to make you look different, but to have an effect on gameplay is stupid.
