So, like many other players, I was greatly impressed by the amount of different types of armor customization available. I personally think there are some amazing helmets available, but as I looked deeper into it, I realized that the unlocking conditions for certain pieces are absolutely absurd to expect players to achieve. For example, the CIO helmet is by far my favorite helmet, but in order to achieve it I have to reach the master rank of the spartan slayer commendation? I’m on the adept level (3/7) now and have to get 300 kills. I have a friend though who’s on distinguished (5/7) and he has to reach 1200 kills. I can only imagine what I have to get for the master rank with that in mind.
I know this may seem like just some guy whining, but I just find it unreasonable to expect someone to get that many kills in any reasonable amount of time. I understand wanting to challenge players and award them with armor, but some of the challenges are just unreasonable.
343, if you see this, please consider lowering the requirement on armor unlocks, or at least the commendations. This will allow players to unlock their preferred armor pieces with more ease. Thank you
Offline play for armors is horrible, in reach I could get some epic armors easily even offline, but in H4 you don’t have a single armor unlocked until you level up 3-6 times, for 1 armor set…
I somewhat agree. The challenge does seem daunting as far as the effort required to unlock many of the armor sets.
At the same time, however, it will make things more rewarding. None of them seem utterly unfeasible, by which I mean I think one could unlock a majority of the armors within 3 months of consistent play. I expect we’ll see many of the more committed members of the community rocking some of the higher req armors within about a month, which seems okay to me. If you want it you have to work for it.
Its only been two days for most people and you have [3/7] done. In a week or at most two, you will have it. In one month of my time in Reach, I had about 6000 kills. Halo 4 will has only been out for two days and this game will last about 2-3 years. It is whining…-____-

Just keep killing them.
i will agree to a point. some are just way to hard to unlock unless you spend 24/7 playing halo 4, will others all you have to do is forge something(not really but you get my point) make it easier but not that easy if you get my point.
People are so unwilling to work for a anything anymore, it’s what day 3 almost and your already complaining that the commendations are absurd? Put some effort into getting them. And last of all the fact that [5/7] is only 1200 is ridiculously easy you can max that thing out in a week I bet…
Completely agreed.
I don’t mind working for armour pieces at all, but to the rank of master?
No thanks, getting 1,000’s of assassinations or multikills for some pieces of gear that by the time I’ve gotten it (If ever) I’d of grown bored of the game.
Reach’s Armoury was waaaaaaay better, people actually looked unique even early in the game as we had choice and it didn’t take months or weeks to get something out of it.
Whats the point in having an extensive and large customization system with 90% of the options locked…? Everyone just ends up looking the same. More armour but less choice… now that’s irony.
The word “Work” shouldn’t be used when describing a Game…
