This post is to discuss what you would like to see in the Armory of halo 4 (Whoot!)
My idea is that it has all halo 3’s and reachs armor with new updated armor to, i also think that the colors should be as following
Head primary
head secondry
primary color
secondary color
left shoulder
right shouldr
and of course: Emblem placement
this would give you more choice over your character, like instead of just having primary, you can colour your head and shoulders, or just stick with primary n secondary.
And for the helmet customization you could add graphics and such like forza’s car customization.
If it can be done without causing lag, I’d like to see the following options:
Helmet Primary
Helmet Secondary
Shoulders (left and right being separate choices)
Main armor (includes torso, arms and legs) Primary
Main armor secondary-How Reach’s is set up
Main armor tertiary- this would be in the form of thin lines that could run vertically down the legs and from shoulder to wrist on the arm.
Visor colors:
Gold
Silver
Blue
Black
GREEN
ORANGE
RED
Emblem primary, secondary, AND tertiary, as well as the background portion of the emblem.
Emblem placement choices: left chest, center chest (if applicable depending on chest plate), right chest, left shoulder, right shoulder, top of helmet, left or right side of helmet. You would only get to pick one of these spots.
MANY more options for emblems. Bring back some of the great older ones and have a bevy of NEW ones. Make it a contest for the community to submit new ideas for emblems and then actually pick several of them and use them.

You think to small. 
Instead of such basic customization, why not have just about every component of armor customizable with at leas 2 things? You could change the armor on the foot, change the visor, the arm guards, hand guards, cod peace, everything from Reach, and some other things. As for colour the legs should stay pretty much with the way Reach had it where the upper leg has primary colours and bottom leg has secondary, but the upper body could have almost every part of armor different. This way we could make a replica of someone on noble team. Also we could have the option to put small stripes on our spartan’s how Kat has that white stripe on her chest, or how Emile has a red stripe on his leg.
I would love to see a larger armoury. One thing that bothers me about the armoury is the lack of items for certain areas of your armour. For example visors. There are four coulours (not including default). Why not expand on that? What I propose is a colour wheel/grid for your visor. Just like selecting the colour for your armour you can choose from a selection of colours for say 1000Cr each. This will let you have a red visor or a green visor easily. Now onto the more expensive visors.
Not only could you have the choice of solid colours but there could also be a menu with special visor colours that are significant or complicated designs. For example, Gold would be in this menu. Other examples could be the World visor as seen in the Bungie Vs the World poster. Several people have said they would love to have this visor and it could be down as a special visor. I’m sure 343 could come up with a few special visors that they could place in such a menu. As a result of these visors being special they would have to be relatively expensive though.
Onto some other ideas I have, Robotic arms. I think for every chest piece we buy we shoudl have the option to also buy a robotic arm for it. Say you buy a chest piece, say ODST. Once you buy the base chest piece you could have the option to upgrade it to have the robotic arm, similar to how the helmets and their attatchements work. This would allow people to fully customise their spartan to exactly how they want.
Next on the list, Armour Effects. We have some pretty cool armour effects, Grunt Birthday Party, Heart Attack etc are all cool. For Halo 4 I just want to see more. As long as they dont hugely impact gameplay then I’m not too bothered.
The gap between about Field Marshall and Inheritor is a bit empty in terms of the Armoury, I think we could do with a lot more armoury items that players can spend their Credits on when they are at this high rank. In Halo 4 there should be items in the Armoury that get unlocked at each rank, not just attatchments but full items, whether they be helmets, chest pieces, shoulder items etc. A lot of players play to unlock items in the armoury and having more items to unlock and buy can keep them interested a bit more. I’d love to see a bit more in terms of Armour being available to the very high ranks.
Now my biggest idea. The Elite armours. I cant understand why Bungie decided to take a step backwards in the terms of Elite Armour in Halo Reach. What I want to see in Halo 4 is customisable Elite Armour. Make it so you can fully customise the Elite Armour just like the Spartan Armour. Break it down to Helmets, Chest, Shoulders, Knee guards, Wrists etc. Also have more armour for the Elites. We can fully unlock the Elite Armour by Lt Colonel. We should have armour being unlocked all the way up to Inheritor. Example armour that have been asked for are Arbiter and Honour Guard plus all the armour in Halo 3. I’d love to see some new armour as well for the Elites, not necessarily armour thats in the campaign but armour that we can use in multiplayer only. That said if the Elites are not in Halo 4 then we may not have Elite character models in multiplayer but if they are we want to see more customisation.
Now if Elites dont come back for Halo 4 then I would love to see another species to play as in Halo 4’s multiplayer. Just like the Elites, dont hold back on the customisation. Throw lots of different armour permutations for us to try out with both the Spartans and the other species, whether it be Elite or something else and a lot of us will be happy.
Thats all I can think of right now, I’m sure I could think up loads more though if I had time.
I think im the only one who wants less customisation, in reach it just feel like theres too much to me.

From what has been said, there will be no covenant in Halo 4. So no elites.
I forgot to mention in my above post that I’d like to have all Halo 3 and Reach armor perms, and MORE. As an Inheritor (since mid-July) I’ve had nothing to by, well actually since I hit midway to Nova, except for the Haunted Helmet at Inheritor, which only cost 1cR. I’m sitting on nearly 13 million cR now with nothing to do with it. I’m already at 93% commendation complete, so that’s getting closer to being complete. I’d love to have more armor in Reach as it’s becoming stale as far as wanting or needing to finish daily challenges. In fact once I hit Inheritor I really cut down on trying to get all the daily challenges. I was nearly 100% on those before that.
So H4 really needs to have a long term plan for the armory, commendations, etc. If I can get this in less than one year, I’m going to be bored, real quick. (Of course ranked playlists will help stave that boredom off, but this thread isn’t about that).
There should be an actual colour black for the armour.
EMBLEMS NEED TO BE VISIBLE AT ALL TIMES ON BOTH SPARTAN AND ELITE MODELS.
