Armor Customisation in Halo 5 - Refresh next time?

Credits to Blu Willis for inspiring me to write this thread. Rather these two cents.

Halo 5 armor customisation sucks - generic, pre-made models on top of generic pre-made models.

Halo Reach had by far the best customisation systems, with infinite combinations, allowing us to truly make our OWN spartan. If they would have invested as many resources into proper customisation as they did into the stupid Spartan 3D printing… Why would I 3D print a generic model that I didn’t make? Give me Halo Reach’s customisation and I’ll 3D print 20 of the damn things.

Apart from the fact that most models are just ugly and poorly made? I mean the textures look cartoony. The Halo Reach spartan models, especially in customisation had menacing, heavy looks. They looked like ARMOR, not plastic padding.

Anyone else?

Halo 6 needs to have a re-worked customisation system, that isn’t based on selling people REQ packs…looking at you MS.

<mark>Do not bump threads.</mark>

Bump : sorry I feel this is an important topic and I’d like to see some opinions =D

A lot will agree with you because yes the armor in Halo 5 is bad, just really really bad. I am rocking the Noble and Nightfall and nothing else because well, they all look stupid. Reach did give us so much and I think that they should return to what made it great. Don’t do Halo 4’s customization, DO Halo Reach’s!

Might want to be careful with bumping man, Ive seen people get in trouble over it. Just watching your back :slight_smile:

I don’t like the armor design in general. I’d only ever use the more classic-esque armors like Nightfall, Recruit, Helljumper, Noble, etc. Too many weird designs.

Also, the requisition system sucks and is artificially inflated with skin-variants. I’ve unboxed like four pieces of Recluse armor so far and I’m -Yoinking!- tired of it. Have people unlock skins some other way.

Literally the armor I’m most looking forward to unlocking is the MK 5 Gen 1 (The original Master Chief Armor). And most people are in the same boat.

Haven’t 343i gotten the hint? I mean they literally DLC’ed that armor as a new req because they know EVERYONE wants it…WHY does everyone want it…use yer neuuuroooons.

The armor is very disappointing. I really miss being able to change my forearms, legs, and utility. I would spend way too much time in Reach fooling with my armor. Not to mention that I like a lot of the variants, and I was constantly changing them up. Now I am changing things up in the hopes that I will like something else besides the few ones that I do.

Despite all of that, I believe what is more tragic than the fact they most of us seem to not like a lot of the armor, but the fact that we can’t look at each other’s armor in the pregame lobby.

I love Scout, so it was the only armor I wanted to unlock.
I just hate how everything had “markings” on them.
C’mon, in Halo Reach and Halo 4 on X360 we were able to change single parts, not only armor and helmet.
AND armor and helmet BOTH with pre-made markings?!
This is crap.

PS. Sorry, I love all GEN 2 armor, I think it’s a lot better than GEN 1, Mark V or Mark IV.

Also, I think you guys are confusing CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS with ARMOR DESIGN.

I rock copperhead fangs which is my favorite set. But I agree that they need more in depth customization and realistic looking armor. In Reach the armor made you look like a badass soldier, in Halo 4 & 5 most of it makes you look like a power ranger :confused:
