Honestly where is the option of having dark undersuits, better yet having undersuit color be separate from primary. You could even have a white undersuit with blue armor or red and black armor on top. If you’re so worried that players can’t tell which team they are on might as well have preset colors on team based games only then right??!?!
Its been months since launch, and I have yet to see more customization options for the armor. Really sick and tired of having to stick with one set of armor when I so desperately want to try on different parts. Wrath shoulders on Noble armor, or Helljumper shoulders on Hellcat.
It is completely awful that we are limited to this when we should be having more options. There really is no personalization of the spartan if we have such limited options.
EDIT:
Every part of the game is important. Every thread is a highlighted part of the game
This thread is highlighting the fact that customization is lacking in a lot of ways.
This thread does not say customization is much more important than the gameplay, as I said, EVERY PART OF THE GAME IS IMPORTANT. And they are important on an equal level.
My point of this thread that it is lacking customization and having more can ADD to the level of worth of the game. It does not and should not change the way the game is played. Having a lack of customization does not make me enjoy the game any less. I still enjoy the way Halo 5 is played, I love the new abilities and its gamemode. I love using forge, and I even made a large forerunner construct prefab that probably sucks (Not advertising here), Arena is definitely fun and I bet we can all agree its lacking in gamemodes too but more will come.
You should be busy actually playing the game, not worrying about your armor that 1)… you don’t even really get to see in-game, and 2)… doesn’t have any effect on gameplay at all.

You do get to see your spartan in game. Turrets (attached and detached), assassination (Most important), ground pound, spartan charge. It doesn’t have any effect? Well I wanna look good doing the things I have just listed. Not only that meleeing you can see your shoulder armor. Crouching down you can see your leg armor. When a player sees your armor, they will think its a good looking combination. I have been playing Halo 5 since launch and the entire halo series since CE. Having more customization options is what made me fell in love with halo even more.
I should be busy actually playing the game? My spartan rank is higher than yours, but that’s none of my business. I have everything unlocked except for achilles because I don’t care about it but I’m sure a lot of people do. Me and probably a ton of other people in this community want to feel different than others when they play, otherwise you would be seeing clones which you are now. Having all of this armor no option to customize it is a really big turn off.
-343 sees that fans want full customization
-Makes every individual piece a REQ card
That would suck if 343 interpreted everyone’s demands in that manner.
Hopefully we get full customization back. I’d like it if it were similar to H4.
As much as I love the ability to customize my armor, im more concerned about it in a game like the elder scrolls than a game like halo. In game there is rarely time to look at other players armor and really see what they have unless you are capping a base or something. If you could still view other players spartans before matches that would be a different story

There are intermissions in warzone firefight so a lot of time of seeing other player’s armor. Or when you are camping in warzone to defend a base. Lets not forget the PGCR and when you die, the camera is stuck on the player who killed you and sometimes you can see him. I think they kept players from seeing who they are matched with because some players might just quit if they see a known pro player.

Why is it up to you to tell people what they should care about in the game? If somebody cares about customization, then they have every right to do so. Just because you don’t think it’s important, it does not mean that nobody else does. For many people, myself included, proper armour customization is a huge part of the Halo experience. Making my Spartan unique and fit to my preferences is important. I know it has nothing to do with gameplay, but you know what? There’s a lot more to a game than just how it plays.
I, for one, miss proper armour customization, and really hope that 343i brings it back in Halo 6.
Most of the armor looks very bad only certain ones i would wear but some shoulder armor looks good but i cant put it on without putting on the whole set
Halo CE customization for Halo 6. I’m getting tired of these threads. Like posted above, you rarely see your own armor, and in the heat of battle you rarely see enemies’ armor. It really doesn’t matter. I’d prefer to return to a time where we all looked the same so we can focus more on shooting each other rather than playing dress-up.
I’d like more armour customization (or atleast a third colour for techsuits or to be able to change the random white lines on some armours). Customizing my spartan is something I enjoy, not to mention people see your spartan in the opening cutscene of Arena matches, and depending on the winner, sometimes at the end of the match as well.

Uhmm you do see your armor in the “heat of battle”. Driving/riding vehicles, on the turret of a warthog, carrying a turret, using attatched turrets, spartan assassinations, A.I assassinations, spartan charge, at the end of a ground pound, boarding a vehicle, hijacking a vehicle, entering a vehicle, switching seats of a vehicle, when you die and your body goes flying. It may be a split second, but thats enough for me to notice.

oh my god I completely forgot about that. The opening and ending of arena matches. Not only that sometimes at the end of Warzone matches.
I do not see how people make excuses for downgrades…I feel like if some new updates come out if you unlock the armor you should be able to change the pieces around and customize it to your liking.

So a total of 30 seconds a game where you get to see the back of your armor? Wow, very useful. Point being it’s essentially worthless and not worth focusing on. People care more about customization than the actual game, and that makes me scared for Halo. Removing it completely would be my vote.

Lol removing it… So all the work bungie and 343 put in wow. We all might as well be single armor clones. Not to mention the amount of lore they put into the armors. And just because there is a thread about customization, you would think they don’t care about the gameplay? I have been playing Halo 5 since launch, I have everything unlocked and I enjoy the game a lot. I would enjoy the game even much more if customization was brought back because it would increase my time on the game even further. So lets not have a hasty generalization like you just had. A total of 30 seconds. its like 5 to 10 seconds when you assassinate someone which is still a good amount of time, and don’t forget you can pan the camera. There is even an opening and ending of arena matches and the ending of warzone matches. Oh only the back of the spartan? Well I’m pretty sure customizing it would make the look, the shape, silhouette even better. They made it worth so much more when they added the opening scenes of Arena matches, so clearly showing off your spartan is very important and is worth a lot in 343’s eyes.
Keep in mind, we have over 200 armor/helmet options. It would be nice to be able to customize knee/wrist pads like we could in Reach, but I’m frankly satisfied with what we’ve got.

Single armor clones sounds good. Nobody complained about it in CE or Halo 2, it worked fine then, why can’t it now? And showing off your Spartan is important to 343? No, it’s so people who don’t want to spend the time can instead spend the money, and then buy little customized Spartan figures. The opening/closing cutscenes for Arena matches are 5 seconds long, where I’m usually looking at the scoreboard anyway. So make it 40 seconds a game.

It’s about priorities man… Many gamers’ priorities are not in the right place these days, and it’s why we have had rehashed content/the REQ system in H5…
Because gamers have wanted 1000’s of armor sets, we now have useless repeat armor sets… recycle, rinse, and repeat! That funding/man-hours could’ve been spent on developing new Arena/BTB/WZ maps… and game modes… because at the end of the day, it is the gameplay that keeps people interested and coming back. But nope!
Battlefield and COD have progression systems and customization, and unlocks, and whatnot, but none of that matters to me if I don’t enjoy the game that much on the first place… Right? I like those games, but I rarely play them, because Halo’s gameplay grips me so much more. The REQ’s are just things in the background to unlock… they really don’t affect me much being more of an Arena player.
H2 had next to no customization at all, and look at how widely praised the game still is today, same for H3… They knocked it out of the park in the gameplay department… H5 generally does as well, it just needs some more variety in maps and game modes. We have MORE than enough REQ’s and armor.
It would be cool to change your undersuit if you want. Only should be viable in WZFF and FFA
It’s disturbing how important the customization of your Spartan has become to the community. I’m sure Halo 6 will have an insane amount of customization as a result.
I just don’t see how it’s so important in a game that is just shooting other players in the head.
