So I’m just going to put it out there that i love Halo Reach and pretty much everything about it. Now why would i want you to know this you may be asking. Well for starters I’m sure that i cant be the only one that enjoyed the vast amount of customizations available in Halo Reach, in fact, I’m 100% positive that the majority of all Halo Reach players did. Halo 5 Guardians will be launching in 2015 with plenty of time for 343i to make a simple feature within the very anticipated game. This additional feature, if added, will greatly impact the mood most players have towards this game; everyone would have many opinions on it as they did with Halo 4 customizations. This is where i tell you that the spartan/player customization feature on Halo 4 was a failure when compared to Halo Reach. You can easily put the blame on 343i for the lack of spark in the creative development area of these customization features. Seriously, its like they gave a developer ipad to an old guy in a nursing home. These games, wether you like it or not, are going to be played by the majority of gamers within the ages of 12-17. The Halo 4 menus where pretty big and not very efficient to showing the WHOLE experience of easily navigating through your friends and rosters for matchmaking, but enough about the dementia friendly menus. These kids that are going to be buying this upcoming Halo 5 Guardians game aren’t going to like it if the spartan\player customizations are as bland as they were in Halo 4, if anything they will probably hate it and get bored of the game after a few months of their favorite playlist. I would like for 343i to at least bring back the armor effects for that unique spartan customization feeling that i loved about Halo Reach. I think they only had like 6 of these armor effects in halo reach and it was still very influential in my feeling towards the game. Personally, i would always set my mind to having a good time in competitive play when i used to play Reach, but there are a good amount of players out there that totally care about every little thing like that. Either way i cant wait to see what the games like; the beta starts in a few hours so i’m just looking for some feedback on this in the mean time. 343i, in my eyes, is a very capable game studio that can accomplish a lot. I’m well into teen years now and ive come to appreciate the amount of time and hard work it can take to make a game such as the Master Chief Collection. Adding expanded spartan/player customizations can be better that Halo Reach. There has to be someone over at 343 that feels this way. What do you all think now that the Halo 5 Guardians beta is starting and there’s possibly room for improvements like this?
Halo 3 customization was better than Reach, Reach’s armor were to busy looking. Also, the majority of gamers playing this game is not 12-17 lol.
Dude I would love to see inclement weather again and the heart attack one as well.
As long as it’s exclusive and it takes a lot of time/skill to get then heck yes. I got a lot of mileage out of my Birthday Party armor effect in Reach. Reach customization was good because it took time to get better armor and such so it was rewarding. Couple that kind of unlocks system with CSR and you’ve got great progression in my mind.
Armor abilities won’t be in at all for one reason. 343 said every player would start out on equal footing. This beans everyone had the same abilities, weapons, and powers. Armor abilities wouldn’t allow that.

He’s talking about Armor Effects like Inclement Weather, Birthday Party, and Pestilence from Halo Reach.
hes talking about armor effects, which is something you could purchase in reach and it something would happen when you died, grunt birthday party, hearts flying out of you, stink clouds etc.
