I think it would be good to gather how many people would be interested in bringing their multiplayer customisations into the campaign.
I for one feel like my weapons and vehicles look a little naked when I am in the campaign and I miss my multiplayer versions of them. I don’t want to change the Master Chief’s look as I don’t feel like my need for expression goes that far. But it would be interesting to see people’s choices below and get a tally.
- No Customisation
- Customise Weapons and Vehicles
- Customise and Change Armour

I think the look of the characters is part of the story telling and so you shouldn’t be able to change that.
Chief is meant to be a big walking tank with an iconic look calling back to the older games. His legend continues. The Weapon consciously has a UNSC style uniform to loudly proclaim that’s she a prim and loyal AI; in contrast to Cortanas Forerunner armour. Those are conscious decisions so it would be odd to switch that up like you can in Doom. If they did a change, for example he has the poncho on during the desert DLC to call back to the Halo 5 trailer, that’s something that should just happen rather than be a choice.
Weapons and vehicles is a little different.
I’d more like to see them lean into customising the Weapon for more in game abilities/buffs so that you feel like you are an actual team when she’s not hacking things or providing exposition.
Customising or upgrading the weapon? An interesting idea.

For Chief’s story I don’t want any fancy customization. For future campaigns, which I do hope they add, I’d like to use our Spartans from multiplayer. For coop, it might be nice to use our Spartans as well. I know that wouldn’t exactly be Canon, but neither would two or three Master Chief’s running around be Canon. Co-op usually isn’t canon.

Yeah, I don’t think you should be able to change the Weapons appearance. More in terms of gameplay abilities like how you can upgrade Chiefs armour.
I am sure I probably would swap out her appearance for Halo 4 or even Halo 5 Cortana for the irony. But, that’s not in keeping with the story. The Weapon is meant to to have that prim secretary style get up and having the UNSC attire is to contrast her to Cortana. It adds to the sense that she is but isn’t Cortana at the same time. Plus there’s echoes of Offensive Bias in that she is a more by the book kind of AI maybe.
Plus, she’s meant to be blue and you shouldn’t be able to mess around with that otherwise you water down the established look of the character.
I personally don’t see the problem with customizing anything in terms of campaign. But ONLY after completing the game once. Maybe in the form of a skull(s) modifier.
I see both sides. Those that want to uphold the lore, and those that want some replayability. It’s akin to how Metal Gear Solid did Substance and Subsistence. Maybe I want to see my hard earned multiplayer spartan in the shoes of the Chief. Maybe I want to use my weapon skins. Etc, etc. You know, just little quirks and additives that keep you coming back for more.
I say why not

Yeah, on a second playthrough, or just as an option it’d be cool. First playthrough I’m trying to enjoy the game for serious, but wacky cool fun times can keep people coming back. Plus, it’s not like anyone but their co-op buddies (cries in no co-op at launch) will see it. So who really cares what someone else’s campaign looks like?

Imagine if we could take our Spartans into campaign via a dlc story portion of the campaign
To take inspiration from how our spartan was noble 6 In reaches campaign
And it would make it to where our “training” finally pays off

Wait, there’s two Legendary stances they have from the campaign that we cannot unlock currently? Even if we have all the Mjolnir armor lockers???
I’d love a skull that lets you use your Multiplayer Spartan and customizations in campaign.

Master Chief as Gray Fox (Metal Gear Solid), and Cortana as Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell: SAC) might be nice.
Cortana: “I’m blue, if I was green I would die!”
I have said in another forum that I would like to see our spartan’s in co-op campaign.
I mean, look at Mass Effect. Personally I think that a character like Chief could totally reasonably be represented with different armor in our games, and have a single canon appearance a la mass effect.

I miss my halo elite controller weapon charm never gets old seeing it float about
Make it a skull where you wear your Multiplayer Armor in Halo Infinite
Someone made a vid where the Yoroi armor is used in the opening cutscene and it LOOKS AWESOME (save for Echo 216, who is now a hairless head due to the modwork)

The first 2 minutes of that video have done more to make me like the Yoroi armor than anything the developers have done.
