I’m actually really upset 343i took out armor customization… I feel like Halo isn’t Halo without it now that we’ve had it for 3 (Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4) or 4 (ODST if you count that) games.
I’m also peeved at this. I love my Halo 3 spartan, same with my Halo 4 one. And to replace a very good feature, and a main one at that, with “armor sets” is just a poor decision. I really hope a patch fixes this, because frankly Halo just isn’t Halo without it.
343, once again proving that they can’t do anything right.
Someone take Halo away from them already.

At least we get to choose our helmet and body in Halo 5. But even that is a step behind Halo 3, where you could customize both shoulders, head, and torso. And Halo 4 had the most, Head, Visor, Arms, Legs, Torso.
Seems like we’re just going backwards.
is it that bad? I haven’t played it yet but will soon, don’t bring my mood down!

Depending on how big customization is for you. For a lot of us, yes. That is bad. Especially when that’s how they were on their home console, only to be changed to a terrible new way.
I mean it’s a decent idea for halo 3 cos all armor is relatively good but not halo 4

How would gutting out customization be a decent idea, period? You’re removing freedom that once was there, for no reason at all.

No, it’s a bad idea in every way.
343 has no excuse for it. I can’t wait to see their damage control for it.

Calling “technical limitations” or some other excuse. Then explain how the 360 was able to do it perfectly? It wouldn’t even increase the size at all. Most likely it’s all there anyway, just locked behind “sets”
They better give us customization back. I always used to change my character’s armor around in between matches. Plus, it’s just more fun to fight against people with mixed armor types. Halo 3, 4, and Reach all had customizable armor, I don’t see why the definitive collection of the Master Chief games can’t.
There’s always this
I agree with what a lot of players are saying here.
By no means this is game breaking, however part of the fun of Halo 3 and Halo 4 was customizing our armor my mix-matching sets. It made players feel unique and it feels a bit short handed when we were being told that the games will be just like we remembered them.
Again, nothing game-breaking, but it does not 100% feel like we got what was advertised.
I miss my Halo 3 Spartan with the ODST helmet, Recon Shoulders and Katana. 
343 y u do dis.
Yeah I hate the fact I cant even wear my ODST armor for H4.
I’ve always been a fan of customization in games. I loved mixing up armor in the Halo games since it’s introduction. The bottom line is 343i said the games’ content and features would be as they were at the original releases. I can’t help but feel lied to, but I’m hoping the customization, tweaked emblem placement, Halo 4’s dlc armor, and even Halo CEA’s kinect library are added in with Spartan Ops when we get it.
Amour set aren’t that bad provided there good one.
They’d better fix it. The armor customization in Halo 3 and Halo 4 is awful; why the hell did they take away all the options we had on the Xbox 360 versions? It doesn’t make any sense…
I just don’t understand how they can take so many aesthetic steps BACKWARD from a series that has been out for over a decade. Not only is the UI in this game frustrating to navigate if you actually do anything more than simply going to multiplayer (which is also experiencing issues on the servers-end), but you also have less customization than any Halo gam to the point where you can’t even preview your own Spartan.
I don’t understand how their development team even let so many basic elements of the Halo series pass or slip through the testing phase. I guess them having people who actually don’t even like Halo could have something to do with that.
The future. The future is the key to all of our issues.
