How to unlock armor in Halo 5 [ IDEA ]

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Halo 5 needs to have a lot more armor customization options than Halo 4. Halo: Reach offered a lot more armor customization options than Halo 4 which made it a lot more awesome. Having a lot of armor pieces to unlock makes the game even more fun by giving you an extra purpose for doing certain things or completing certain challenges.

How to unlock/get armor:

Ranking up your SR-rank

This will simply unlock basic armor pieces, nothing special or unique. This will unlock a good amount of armor and one a special armorset if you reach the highest SR-rank. This will add lots of customization abbilities for players to customize their spartan but it will not include any ‘Legendary’ armor pieces except when you reach max SR-rank, than you will get a Legendary armorset.

Ranking up your CSR-level

Everytime you rank up a Division you will unlock a Legendary armor piece. When you reach the highest Division rank you will have a full Legendary armorset. Each playlist will have it’s own CSR level (this has been confirmed) and with each playlist you will be able to unlock different Legendary armorsets. This will motivate people to play different playlists and will create a lot of goals for people to achieve (unlocking special armor is always exciting).

Ranking up your CSR-level in temporary special playlists

It would be cool if 343 would add special temporary playlists that offer a different ruleset and will also include special Legendary armor that will only be available in this temporary playlist meaning your armor will be rare and unique. I would suggest these playlists to stay for a week. When the week is over, the playlist will go and your chance to get the special Legendary armor will be gone as well.

Completing multiplayer challenges

You will also be able to unlock new armor pieces by completing challenges. For example, if you get 50 assissinations you will unlock special arm pieces. Ofcourse this would also include special Legendary armor pieces for completing monthly challenges (which would take a lot more work and dedication to complete them).

Completing Campaign missions and campaign challenges
If you complete the Campaign you will unlock a new armorset, if you complete the Campaign on Legendary you will unlock a Legendary Armor set (Master Chiefs armor). Adding monthly Campaign challenges will motivate people to play the Campaign again. Campaign challenges could include completing a mission on a certain difficulty, completing a mission using a specific weapon or killing a certain amount of enemies in the campaign with a specific weapon. This would add more replayability to the Campaign and would also add some cool armor pieces to the Multiplayer.

EDIT:

Completing certain achievements, finding all skulls and that kind of challenges should also unlock armor pieces/armor sets.

Please let me know what you guys think about this! I think this would be really awesome!

I like the Halo 3 system of unlocking armor. You do something which stands out as an achievement to unlock armor.

For example, for Full EOD armor you needed to beat the campaign on legendary.
For Hayabusa, you needed to find all the skulls.
For Rogue, you needed to reach lieutenant rank in multiplayer.
For Recon, you needed to do all 7 vidmaster achievements.
Etc

Yeah I liked that as well, it’s basically the same as my ideas but just include different challenges

Sounds good, I hope they bring back helmet attachments.

I hope they bring in a competent armor designer. I hated 95% of the Spartan armor in H4. At least bringing back a full black body glove was a right place to start.

I agree, Halo Reach and Halo 3 armor looked a lot better and had a lot more details. There were also some very cool armor pieces or effects like the flaming helmet.

I’m sure the majority of the people would like armor similar to reach’s. 343 listen to the people

I think Halo 4 had a fair amount of customization, it was just a -Yoink- to unlock / tied to preorder & limited editions.

9

I think the armour should be earned like halo 4 but if you want the armour faster than you can unlock it by doing a certain achievement or you get to choose how you unlock your armour

False, Halo 4 Has way more armour customisation then Reach. Without counting Armour skins, Helmet attachments or robot arms.

Just this.
95% of Halo 4 armor were horrible.
The only good one were (in my POV of course) Venator, Rogue, Recruit.

Even the awesome Recon helmet looks like an emoticon!!! ====> ^^

And what about the one who looks like a Big Dady or a lion head or stupid kid robot or a licorne

I’d like a cR system like Reach had, along with a get-achievements unlock-armor system like Halo 3 had, or when you reach a certain commendations, you have an unlock.

So, let’s use Recon for example:

Recon Helmet
-Complete Halo 5: Guardians on Legendary
-Complete 100 War Games
-Cost: 50,000 cR

Recon Armor:
-Complete 250 War Games
-Get 500 Headshots in campaign
-Get 50 assassinations in Multiplayer Matchmaking
-Cost: 75,500 cR

No reach’s was just a grind and was horrible. Halo 3’s way of unlocking armor was so much better.

Halo reach had the best customized contentish stuff. When 5 in 2015 was released, it had good customization. Not as good as reachs customization. Even tho it had jorges armour. (idomnitable, idomnitable eröd.) halo five wasn’t good. So. Onto the ideas. 1: Halo 3 4 maybe 2 a. Had unlockable armours, by doing the quest stuff. 5 halo infinite. Halo 6 . Should also have preferred species. Examples: (elite, jackal, grunt, and spartan.) and more weapons and vehicles. And stuff. i dont want to leave you hanging, but ill cut this short. Have a good day.

16

In halo 5 there are several armor that are unlocked by completing challenges, such as the Achilles armor that is completing the challenges of a Spartan company or the nightfall armor that is watching the series Nightfall
