Customization

Am I the only one pissed off about the customization underhual you know taking out all the stuff everyone liked and adding hundreds of new options that all look the same… and only having two options over our entire Spartans look. 1 for helmet and 1 for everything below it.

Like remember in reach and three when you finally got your Spartan just right you just wanted to show him off!

We went from 12 options in reach to 6 in four and now what looks like 2 in halo 5.

My thoughts and sentiments exactly. And you are forgetting the armor you had to earn/was exclusive to the developers. The katana (hyabusa) and flaming head. Now those variants can just come with the game in the MCC. Honestly I think that is ok for one game, if nothing else but to try everything and see how it looks on you. But yeah. You should be able to earn your armor. They are making it accessible to everyone (working hard to please noobs and casuals) and sacrificing what was actually cool in the process just so they can get more sales. It looks like our freedom of choice is being reduced yet again, with no option but to express our desires to have it not be so here only to not be heard by the devealopers.

Seems fine to me. The chest and helmet mix is enough to make some spartans look unique.

Ya There are a lot of options but for all we know 50% of them could just be different patters for different pieces of armour?? I noticed all of the helmets looked unique and cool but it the chests that are putting me off.

I’m sure that there will be a lot more awesome chests when the game comes out.

I hope so? We’ll have to wait and see.

The helioskrull chest looks pretty cool

Well to be fair, the only Reach armor pieces you had a lot of choice in were the chest, shoulders and helmets. The rest of the customizable pieces only had around 3 items to choose from.
I already know couple of armor pieces I do want in Halo 5. That Noble body armor looks sweeeeet!

Little late to the party, are we?

This has been discussed to death in the past month/weeks.

This 100%

Honestly i like the armour customization being simpler.

I like it a lot, players won’t be able to mix and match to make their Spartan look like bad high school quarterback cosplay or Gundam characters.

This, but the biggest thing is that every variation/ combo of armors has to be rendered and animated. For other halos this means less armor. For H5 this means more

Pretty sure they still could the only real noticeable difference is the shoulders, so I’m sure the head and suit could still look like a buff guy or gundam.

12 options? Helmet, left shoulder, Right shoulder, chest, knees, utility, wrist, Visor. thats 8.
Halo 4 had Helmet, left shoulder, Right shoulder, chest, legs, forearms, Visor. so 7.

Also all of Reaches Chest pieces are just the same piece with different stuff strapped to it.

A lot of the customization in Reach, personally, felt really unneeded and pointless to even spend time customizing. I never once stopped in a game and went ‘wow, look at this guys knees’ or 'I wish I had those wrists!"
Granted, the shoulders were fun to customize, but most of the time it made Spartans look like an over done anime robot. Not to say that’s bad, but it removed the idea of being Spartans, for me at least.
Also a lot of the chest pieces in Reach were very similar.
