I disliked the fact that you eventually could buy all of the armour in Reach just by sheer grinding. I liked Halo 3 cause you had to earn your armour and it appears some armour in Halo 4 will have to be earn too!
"Some of the rarest armor sets and components can only be received upon completion of specific in-game Commendations, Challenges, or other Waypoint goals."
taken from the Halo 4 Site.
agreed. It’ll feel like more of an accomplishment if you actually earn it and not just buy it.
I think this is what they should’ve done to begin with. Earning it from achievments and stuff makes you feel like you earned it, while buying makes your gameplay feel somewhat useful, and there is usual alot to choose from. All in all, I’m happy.
Some of the best news yet, if not THE best. I absolutely hate the Armor system in Reach. Armor basically says how high a level you are. It’s dumb. I really want Security armor, so I have to rank up three more times? Ridiculous. I much preferred the Halo 3 way where it was challenges. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice! I didn’t like the pure grind in Reach. I thought it would have unique prerequisites but, I’m happy that sort of thing is in 4.
Now I have reason to work for something, yes! (Not sarcasm xD)
I wonder if there will be an armor unlock where you have to complete Halo CEA, Halo 3, Halo ODST, and Halo Reach all on Legendary…or an unlock for beating the Library (Halo CEA) without dying…

That would be awesome!!!

On legendary? Is that possible?
that would be freakin sweet

I think it would be cool if they gave you special themed armour if you get 100% completion on a certain halo game.
For example, getting all the achievments in Halo CE:A earns you a Mark5 armour set (Master Chief classic style), and so on…

Absolutely not . . .

I’ve done it, in fact I have all the Anniversary achievements (check out my service record for CEA). So it’s definitely possible. And if you know how to keep the Flood from spawning, it’s actually not that bad…
You’re probably gonna need space bucks to buy the armor.
Thank goodness! Now we have something to strive for that doesn’t involve grinding credits all of the damn time.
lulz
Getting a 50 was something I actually had to earn.
Achievements and action specific unlockables don’t make me feel like I earned jack. They never have, and no developer will make them difficult enough so that they will.
Reminds me of the path to Recon armor in Halo 3.

Vidmasters were actually fun.
Ive been wondering about this for a while, thanks for clearing it up !
I agree. I always loved having the Katana before it was easy to get. I wasn’t super into Reach’s unlock system. Bungie gave me the haunted helmet pre-Inheritor, though, so I’m still okay. xD
