Subject: Ideas for Halo 3!

Ok let me be a spokeperson for Microsoft for a little bit. The xbox 360 camera is coming out in September 2006. With that being said I also want to state that i felt cheated in Halo 2. I do not think we have expericened full amor cutsomization for our armor. So here are some ideas for our armor. Now this camera can open up lots of oppertunites for people, especially when it comes to our armor. We could take pictures then import them into Halo 3 the armor could be layed out in diffrent sections on the screen such as (im going to use old speak here) Plate mail, Plate legs, and Helm. Allowing three diffrent images to be used. You could either upload all three pics or jsut one, the beauty of it is that you have a choice for this. Upload the image then move the pic around on the body of armor to your liking . Sort of like Nykos 360 faceplate thingy. Now here are some bad things that could result from all this.

One, people could abuse this uploading pictures of their favorite -blam!- mag and so on. So buungie could strictly enforce a rule such as no pornographic material, but then again there will be billions of people playing halo more than likely.

Two, there could be major problems when it comes to lag people could upload like crazy high res images making the bandwith severouly decrease or at least I would think so. So there a for a solution to this would a option to downgrade the image size while reducing there quality.

Three, this could bring Halo 3 to a level of crappy it would never recover from.
No SOLUTION.

Now with all that said what about being able to chose individual colors for each peice of armor. Such as red for arms and black for legs and so on.
But we need real color choice not just prechossen colors for the masses to have. We need a rgb table (Red, Green, Blue) selection of colors like you see in Need For Speed 2 on the colors at least for most of the stuff another example would be soul caliburs three color thing.

So leave some feedback

Just more customization for the armor would be cool like more symbols and colors.

I think, instead of just being able to customize the look of your armor, perhabs be able to customize what it "specializes" in. For example, one type of armor may make you faster but have less health, another the opposite, etc. However, this could make the game too unbalanced.

Yeah it would become unballanced.

Different weights of armor would get confusing, but might be fun.

Different armor wieghts is confuseing so mabey we should just stick to custom colors and symbols and stuff like that.

Why didnt they put different Elite skins in Halo 2?

If it's not broken, don't fix it. There is nothing wrong with the armor.

When you say armor customization, I think Republic Commando style.

I was wondering if there might be any upgrades to the custom armor situation because you can't do as much as you should be able to with the armor colors and signs. They should make a color actually called Black. In Halo 3 wouldn't be nice if you could color each individual piece? Even though that would take a while it would still be cool. That's what I have to say. Thanks.


helps give players more individuallity. that would be cool!

Indeed it would.

What if you could make your own custom weapon? I mean just painting it.

I would just like to be able to photoshop a skin, and upload it to my profile via Windows Media Connect or whatever.
And be able to sell awesome skins to other players.

Bungie had custom icons, but they took it out o Halo 2 because employees were creating inappropriate icons. But that'd be more difficult to do on a custom skin.

Imagine if Bungie were the first to take true advantage of the XBL market place potential.

I think the most that should be added is maybe more colors and designs. and maybe more customtion to the designs but otherwise leave 'em
