I absolutely was amazed with the halo 4 and reach customization. When I played the halo 5 beta I loved it, but I was very disappointed with the customization. You can only customize helmet, visor and body armour that sucks a lot. Hopefully 343 fixes that. I want to be able to customize helmet, chest, both arms, legs, wrists, visor and even more. Everyone please address 343 to fix this in the final state of halo 5.
Alas, Josh confirmed that that’s all we’re getting in the final version, unless they expand on it in a CU down the road.
I’m pretty perplexed by it myself. It’s not a deal breaker, it’s just… An odd thing to scale back.

Why would they make a huge customization choice for Halo 4, and then go back to Halo 3 customization?

He confirmed it? When? The most recent time he was asked about it at E3, he said something along the lines of being able to customize armor and helmets, which is of course is not directly answering the question. Was there a more recent update about it? If it is 100% only helmets and body armor than that really confuses me. We’ll live of course, but still. They must really be pushing for time to get this game done, or they wouldn’t have made such a sacrifice. Perhaps they’ve taken on more than they can handle… But of all the things to go, I suppose losing some armor customization is better than losing gamemodes, but still.
I’m okay with it. There are worse things I could be concerned about. Reach gets my vote for best customization. Pestilence all the way!
Your not really getting less though, perhaps the armour is not so much customisable but now you get weapon and vehicles skins also etc. I personally don’t see it as big deal we could all look the same again as per Halo CE for all I care.
Halo 5 customization is much better than Halo 4’s. Tons of new armor designs, camos for weapons and vehicles.
I think although armour customisation is gone, the new weapon customisation elements make up for it. I mean, who ever noticed what knee guards you were wearing? I’m much more likely to notice my enemy’s Bloodthirsty skin than their shoulder pauldrons. Plus we’re getting a lot more sets than usual, so that’s cool.
Everyone always brings up the whole ‘but now we have vehicle and weapon skins! Much more customisation!’ to them I say, but don’t they only apply in Warzone? In arena mode with no loadouts surely we will spawn with default weapons? And unless (once BTB is added) the vehicles change paint scheme as we climb into it, then no one will see your ‘cool’ shotgun skin or your ‘flame warthog’ unless you stay in the Warzone playlist.
I’m disappointed that the customisation has been cut so drastically, and hate weapon skins- the fact that Warzone will force me to use the white/red painted weapons as they have better stats annoys me tremendously. However if they include SPI armour as a set, it will at least lessen the blow.
Surely I’m not the only one who wants to play with the default weapon skins?
It really sucks. But im over it now, but without a doubt there better be many & I mean many armor sets available.

No you can still use skins in arena etc just all weapons act the same in arena, unlike warzone where certain skins attachments etc give you different advantages ie range or damage etc

So, I’m not 100%, as they haven’t come out and said it, but I believe the skins are separate from the weapon underneath them. Like, if you look at the preorder bonus, it lists “Longshot Assault Rifle with Recoil Compensator” and then on the next line, says “and a Steel assault rifle skin”
So, you may be stuck with using a scope on your AR if you want an accuracy bonus, but should be able to keep the matte black if you’d like. Again, not 100 percent; they may just not like the oxford comma, but I think the skin and the gun are separate.

I think there is so much you can do with armor, but I rather have a functional game at this point, no offense 343.
Ok, listen up, that type of the customization was ONLY for the Beta, it will be similar to Halo 4
I know it’s a back step but fine 343i needs to learn making mistakes like this one or at least change it to helmet, torso and shoulders like 3 and the whole weapon/vehicle skin is not so great to me on warzone because if you die you gave that powered weapon to the enemy team! on arena it’s ok because is just a skin nothing more but come on i prefer make my armor cooler than make my guns look cooler at the end you switch guns so many times on a game…
Everyone stop bringing up weapon and vehicle skins. I know that’s a big customization so it kind of evens the odds of the armour customization but it doesn’t. Yes it Is a great idea to add but I want to be able to customize my Spartan more not my weapons and vehicles
I’ve made my peace with it, because honestly it’s not so bad (imo). Sure we don’t get shoulders and legs, but there will be much more of the options we do get.
And seeing as how the armor designs are way better than what we had in Halo 4 (one of my biggest gripes), I really don’t feel I should complain.
I would be pretty upset if we couldn’t choose a helmet different from our suit, though.

It’s been confirmed that the full version of Halo 5 will be just helmet, visor, and body.

Josh holmes said Helmet, Visor, and ‘armor’. I he never confirmed beta or 4’s customization level. By armor he could mean torso and sholders or gauntlets, leggings, shoulder, torso. We dont know what he meant. He could very well say armor referring its a set that we dont have interchangeable pieces anymore.
