Customization in H6

Community General Discussion

Hello fellow Spartans, first off I want to say that I personally want this to happen so that I will play more cause due to lack of personalization I haven’t played in a couple months but now onto the topic.

I think I can speak for most long time halo fans when I say making our spartan unique to our taste was one of the coolest parts of playing halo, back in h3 I rocked the CQB helm/chest and whatever shoulders I felt like. In reach, I did the same thing, worked to get that glorious CQB and wore it proudly, but once we got to h4 I no longer had MY spartan, that classic look was gone, I made due with a few armors, switched every now and again. And when h5 showed up, oh man I was HYPED when I saw all these sick armors but, once I realized you had only 2 options, my excitement died, now the only unique thing about your spartan is your visor and a paint job. Ya see where this is going?

I propose that in h6 343i should bring armor from h3, h4, h5, and a few new variants for h6 and give us the customization from reach but better! Helmet, shoulders, markings, knee pads, visors, battle damage, accessories, etc. So every spartan can be his/her own, and I know someone out there will probably go on about how its not that easy to put all that into a game, and I know that, but the least they can do is try right? But they won’t try if only a few people want it, so I’m asking you guys and girls to try and bring topics like mine to the forefront of the site, get them noticed, and get them seen by everybody, that’s the only way we as players can tell 343i and be heard.

So I ask you all, do you want to be stuck with the choice between your visor, helmet, and armor. Or do you want to be your own spartan again?

I agree bro. for Halo 6 I want the best customization of all the Halo Universe xD

I agree so much. There is a video on Instagram where someone on PC halo 5 is able to customize all of those options as a mod and it worked!! we need a huge customization selection with everything including adding scarring to your armor and even only have base armors but allow people to put their own skins on it, like each variant has a base armor, and then each piece can have a skin like camo or stripes almost like with DOOM’s customization you can put camo and other skins on a base armor as well as scarring! We need that level of customization in halo 6! An absolute overload of options, so many that it hurts our heads! Like reach, 3, and 4 mashed together and hopped up on steroids! also I would like to see an art style along the lines of Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo wars 2, It’s a perfect balance between the new and old styles.

yeah i agree to dude i want better customization for halo 6.

It would also be pretty neat if they brought back the armor effects, grunt birthday party was so funny. YAYYYY!

I feel like they should bring the halo reach full customization back

This one is impossible to disagree with. I hope 343 doesn’t make it even more generic (pick set, helm auto matches armor).

I would love more customization slots than Reach, with the amount of options from Halo 5 or better.

It’s less a matter of “ease” and more a matter of what fits the model they are going for. WIth Halo 4 and Halo Reach style customization, more control ultimately means less total objects to use, but the number of different combinations is still high. With the Halo 5 style, limiting customization to visor, helmet, and body means you need more variants for each option so you maintain the high number of possible combinations, but it allows them to better fit it into the random REQ unlock system. If they had kept the Halo 4 style and tried to put that into the REQ system, it would have been too hard for people to get the look they want, because they’d be relying on RNG for every part of the body armor (shoulders, chest, legs, etc.).
Personally, I’d like to see 343i abandon the REQ system for personal customization, and restrict the REQ system to only single use REQs for Warzone (if Warzone returns, which I also personally wouldn’t miss if it didn’t).

Great post OP. I think you have the right idea.

What I want 343 to understand is this:
>Less armor
>But as a consequence, less duplicate low quality paint job armors (I’m still unlocking some lame form of EVA at SR 139)
>Multipiece armor system with legs, shoulders, torso, helmet, others, etc
>Custom paint jobs (Color shoulders orange and Torso black for example)

This is exactly how I feel, too.

Another point to make is perhaps when you choose a visor, it alters your HUD to match the description.

Ex. Frost visor dulls bright light a bit and Midnight gives something similar to VISR from ODST

I miss the halo reach full customization i hope they add it like that
