Before reading this please don’t label me as one of those people who want Halo 4 to be Halo 3.5 and that from what I have seen so far regarding Halo 4 I think its going to be a great game.
Remember in halo 3. you had to complete certain achievements to unlock armor? I myself enjoyed this A LOT and had more incentive to actually do the achievements then I saw with doing Reach’s, (mind you I did enjoy Reach’s achievements just fine). However I did miss how I wasnt able to unlock any by doing the achievements.
So I was wondering what you’re guy’s thoughts on this subject would be. Would you like or dislike having the opportunity to earn armor through achievements.
No, please. I hate MP achievements quite a lot already, I don’t need in-game items tied to them as well. I can see the appeal; that way, when you see X on a person, it’s actually impressive. I just don’t like being forced to play a certain way, in order to get my favorite helmet, or whatever.
Now, if to unlock everything, you had to accomplish certain tasks (pretty much the same idea, minus being tied to an ach.) that had a MP and a SP version… I’d welcome that with open arms.
That wouldn’t be fair! Everyone should have a fair playing field! Look at the new matchmaking.
I do miss achievements unlocking armor. It made the armor feel more deserved. But I think the best system would be to blend the two armory systems. I believe that certain armor pieces should be unlocked by your rank and others should be unlocked by achievement. Assuming that Spartan Points are anything like credits you would still have to purchase them after they become available.
I want both (with common armor not requiring achievements/ campaign progression i.e. skulls) but super-special armor should work like this.
i personally didnt like having armor tied to acheivements but it would be nice if it was tied to completing campaign missions and would also make people play campaign instead of just multiplayer
I like the general idea of armor tied to completing an objective, but how about we make use of Spartan Ops to unlock these types of non-rank tied armor pieces?
