Halo 4 Character and Customization

There is a lot of discussions about Halo 4. One of them should be about characters and customization. I want to know some good ideas on characters and customization. With this we could let 343 Studios get an idea of how we Halo fans want our Halo 4 multiplayer experience to be like when it comes down to character and customization.

Some examples:

  1. Armor( Helmet, chest plates, shoulder pads, visors, armor effects, etc.)

  2. Characters( Spartans and Elites)

3.Emblems( We need new emblems)

These are some topics that can be discussed here.

-Helm
-Visor
-Helmet accessories
-Torso
-Belly
-Bum
-knee
-Shoulders
-Forearms
-Hands
-Back(Thrusters)
-Belt
-Utility
-Holster
-Elbow

Please add more :slight_smile:

Great list!

-Color. Lots of color.
-Face (kinda like the Haunted helmet, but with a created face. Not all of the face would be visible, half mouthpiece or the visor cracks open from damage)
-Emblems. Chest, arms, or head.

  • Medals. Yeah, MEDALS!
    -Name tags!
    -Backpacks!

To begin with, I want to see Elites back in multiplayer. I do not want just that. I want to see Elites playable like they were in Halo 3. I want to see the elites and spartans able to be in the same playlists as equals. Elites were a little bit more powerful in Halo Reach, that is why Elites were not able to be playable in the all the playlists like they were in Halo 3. I also want the Elites to have the same armor customization like the Spartans did in Halo Reach.

I want the Spartans to have armor customization like they had in Halo Reach. 343 Studios should focus on making the Elites and Spartans more equal. I know Elite fans think the same way. At least now Spartans do not need health packs now. With the absents of health packs now Spartans and Elites in multiplayer will be equally matched.

I also want to see unique Elite armor customization. For example, Spartans get recon on Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Spartans also get the haunted helmet when you get to inheritor and unlock all helmets. I want the Elites to get unique helmets and armor pieces like the Spartans did ion Halo 3 and Halo Reach.

We fans for either Spartans, Elites, or both have ideas on how we(gamers) want to see in the up coming Halo 4, 5, and 6. I want you opinions on how character and armor customization should be like in the new Halo series.

brutes and elites

I think pretty much everything about your spartan should be customizable with more than twp colors, and more pieces, but it should be the least of 343i’s worries since campaign and multiplayer should come first (including forge and customs).

If the 343 spends time on making Spartans fully customizable from head to toe will take a lot of time, which they do not have since game releases November 2, 2012. I think that can be evolved more while 343 is working on the new Halo trilogy. 343 can make it better than Halo Reach, but it would be best for them an us if they progress in the customization options slowly during the development for the new trilogy. Your idea is helpful a lot, but it will take a lot of work to do all of that.

343 probably has the story mode, multiplayer, firefight, and customs all maped out right now. This is just little ideas for 343 on what we Halo fans want. It’s not just what we want it’s what we the fans want to see evolved. It is hard to explain, but we Halo fans deserve a new multiplayer experience.

theyve been working on Halo 4 since around the time of Reach’s progression. Campaign is completely finished, now they are almost done with multiplayer, that leaves them plenty of time for character customization. however, i believe, either way, some one is going to be dissapointed. that is inevitable

Right on!
Sure hope FF is more Team-based, and not a whacky free-for-all, “Boohoo the guy with the GravityHammer/RocketLauncher took my kill”! Back in ODST, we had sticks. Two sticks and a rock! And we had to share the rock!

November 2, eh?

Some people will be disappointed yes, I know that 343 will not let us down either. 343 like most game developers listen to the fans so if there are some disappointments there will be more good stuff taking care of the disappointments.

> brutes and elites

This but also flood Spartans who play like regular spartans

who’s armor is also customizable like color helmet ect

It would be kinda nice to be able to visually change the appearance of your starting weapons. Like how Call of Duty has different “camos” and patterns that you can use to customize guns. If you can customize the appearance of your Spartan’s armor why not their starting weapons?

And nobody reply to my post with the limited, generic, and overused “NO COD N MY HALO!” response.

never really cared about the camos. i think they should just stay the same

This.

I know I’m probably alone on this one, but I’ve always wanted a helmet modeled after a plague doctor’s mask (http://uponamidnightdreary.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/iteme35603.jpg).

The beak wouldn’t be as long, of course.

I have bought xbox 360 accessorie​s, feeling good.

For elites, basically the same except:

Colors, a lot of colors, armor light colors, iridescence, and that means when your armor turns in the light, although it may seem green normally it will have a red tint or what ever you set the color to. Shielding shades, I think the shield color shouldn’t change, but you should be able to change the shade of it and the manner in which it re-charges. Lines on the armor but in the right places, emblems on either shoulder, Roman numerals on visors, armor condition e.g shiny or metallic dull, boot shapes and more, but to a reasonable extent.

Visor color TONS

Name plates TONS

Here was a list/post i made with some really good idea’s help me out…
