I thought of a way to fully expand the armory. Like for example instead of just seeing your spartan, you see the armor bay in the Infinity and you start out with the spartan with no armor what so ever kind of like how Majestic and Palmer would walk around the infinity with no armor on during Spartan Ops and every time you added like the arms or the legs or any part of the armor you wanted there would be like a little “cinematic” scene that puts the armor on (in the same are where your Spartan normally stands in every Halo game) and this would be kind of like the opening cutscene to Spartan Ops where you see the armor being put on. http://youtu.be/d66NOXhwfoI?t=4m19s
And then when you customize your loadout you go to the armory and pick out the gun you want and it like actually shows your spartan grabbing the gun, the armor ability, the grenades, and so on. Idk dude… itd be pretty BA.
(Sorry but im like not good with words haha)
cool,but only if I can disable or have a way to do it fast unless its in the Backround
Now that is an AWSOME idea
I had the same idea, but also would be nice to disable it like flamin shirukn said.
Very cool idea, OP. I would love to see that happen :).
> Now that is an OSSOM idea
Fixed.
season 2 of spartan ops should start like this.
All of my YES. Although this could be time consuming and would probably require you to do it before entering a playlist.
This is one of those ideas that sound good on paper but would actually not with very well because it is extremely time consuming. Of course, I wouldn’t complain if there is indeed a menu option but I just don’t see myself using it more than a couple of times nor do I think anyone else would. It begs the question: why bother?
But of course it’s a cool idea, especially if every menu will be replaced with a real Infinity space maybe separated by that train station from Spartan Ops. There could be an Armory, a Docking Bay (for Spartan Ops), a War Games center where we could watch ongoing games from behind a glass and railing and join in progress or just enter whatever playlists and wait for incoming players in a small sitting room out side of the holo-room. Each player could have their own room as well (their “Lobby”) with some light decoration and customization options to make the room their own (wall colors, furniture sets and maybe the ability to frame screenshots taken in Theater and place them on the walls. Your party would be able to join your Lobby and walk around with you as well.
My point is, if 343i does an Armory, they should do a whole Infinity and make it explorable and inviting for players. There could be collectibles here too (like Skulls for instance, or something new) and in general it would increase the immersion and bring it to a whole new level. It would actually make canon MP worth it. But, again, most people would just opt out and use the normal menus after a few tries, which makes it redundant and probably just a waste of resources for 343i who are already working their -Yoinks!- off to meet the late-2014 deadline.
> cool,but only if I can disable or have a way to do it fast unless its in the Backround
I was thinkin it would be more like a background. Kind of like replace the spartan just standing there. It’ll show the Spartan in nothing but the under skin and the when you select a piece of armor, the like robot hands will put in on the Spartan. Something like that.

Yeah it probably would haha… Oh man… This would be awesome…
> I had the same idea, but also would be nice to disable it like flamin shirukn said.
Yeah only if it was like an actual cutscene that took the entire screen. Anything like this would be shweeettt.

Yeah that is true, A lot of my awesome ideas sound great on paper haha. And now what you’re saying is starting to remind me of Fable III where you go to the different rooms and everything. Now that would be pretty sick. Like what if there is no longer an Infinity menu. What if it all takes place in your little room thing and you take the different sections and so on. It would be pretty cool to see the Armory change. It doesnt have to be now but id like it to change in the future when they have time to maybe add to it.
