Do you think there are in-game tools/paint program to draw your emblem on your xbox...
or do you think
only people with xbox live will be able to create custom emblems?

I personaly think that there will be in game tools to create your emblems, then you will have to upload them to xbox live, where they will be stored for online use (if bungie approves them, and uploads them onto xbox live online storage, they dont want any naughty emblems!)

SB-117

I'm guessing some sort of emblem creator like what jet set radio and future did with their tag creator (which is cool if a little difficult to control) either that or you choose from hundreds of premade icons (they said the ARMOUR is customisable not the emblems but im not quite sure about this)

Yeh....Lol....it will probably be hard to draw on your xbox....you will probably do it pixel by pixel or something on like a 50 X 50 pixel plain. So everyones logos are the same size, and are easily uploaded over live.

They had a paint program on F-zero Gx for gamecube and it was very good, I really want to make an emblem for halo 2, so I can use in system link not just xbox live.

I think there is only 4 places on MC which can have logos.....I think. I think there can be a logo on both shoulders, his chest and his back. I think the "clan" logos go on the shoulders, and the personal logos go on the front and back. Maybe you can have 4 different logos....BUNGIE, IF YOU READ THIS TALK ABOUT EMBLEMS IN THE NEXT BUNGIE UPDATE!

I think that a pistol on top of the sheild for the easy difficulty setting would be so cool because pistols ROCK!!!

I have one idea of how it'll be made, and it was a similar system that was designed for the online game Infantry by Sony (www.station.sony.com) that I used back when it was still free. It involved a banner like setup with small individual square blocks that make up the banner (pixels I believe, like someone said above) and one could select different colors to color a pixel, and when it was completed, a banner was formed. There were some pretty awesome stuff that could be drawn with just that from my experience, but I think Bungie might have something more...advanced or developed than that. It was a rather simple process if you knew what you wanted to make. Just my thought on the subject. :-)

personally, I doubt Bungie would stick a FULLY customizable emblem creator, due to like, "offensive" icons that some players would make to be funny...I think it would be to the point of selecting from a bunch of different designs, slapping them together and changing the colors/placement on the armor.

That would make sense to me, with something like downloadable content on xbox live perhaps. But the one detail that I'm still stuck on is whether the emblems will be fully customizable or customizable to the extent of choosing from a selection.

That could be very true....there might just be lots of selections to choose from...Sorta like this forum...we cant have custom user logos/pics we selected them...so you never know. I wish bungie would talk about this topic.

I'd bet that the only way you could customize them would be to select from a large number of pictures, backgrounds and colors. An in-game editor just doen't seem practical.

I think that there will be a huge list of premade icons to put on your armour. Also I bet that, knowing microsoft, there will be new downloadable ones to help promote xbox live which, by the way, is awesome. There could also be a program which has a bunch of parts of emblems which you can choose between and customize your own emble. I don't think that you will be able to make you own but that would be awsome!!!!

i think there will be a choice of emblems and you can alter them to a certain extent eg: colours and words. i personally want there to be the actual UNSC spartan symbol that described in the fall of reach. (page 217) 'a golden eagle poised with its talons forward - ready to strike. the bird clutched a lightning bolt in one talon and three arrows in the other.'

i think guardian tau is probably correct, but bungie could certainly implement something like the JSRF custom tags. (Jet Set Radio Future)
