Ideas for Multiplayer Armor Permutations

With the re-introduction of the classic art style, I had some ideas for multiplayer armor permutation customization. Here’s my thoughts:

  • Keep GEN2 armor sets, but redesign them to give them a more classic aesthetic, like what u/anthonyisjim was doing over on the Halo subreddit this week. - Bring back armor sets that have not made a return in 343’s games, like B-class, JFO, and Grenadier, as well as keeping classics, such as Recon, Scout, Mark V, and ODST. - Include a mix of both GEN1 and GEN2 armors, but keep them separate by making players select “GEN1” or “GEN2” in the customization HUD. - Do not cross GEN1 armors into GEN2 like what Halo 5 did with Noble Team’s armor if both generations are to be included. - Include full armor sets like MCC did (ODST, Recon, Security, etc.) but allow them to be split up into pieces and customized (helmet, shoulders, chest).Some ideas for armor sets:

GEN1

  • B - Centurion - Commando - CQB - EOD - EVA - Grenadier - GUNGNIR - HAZOP - Hoplite - JFO - Mark V - Mark VI - ODST - Recon - ScoutGEN2

  • Argonaut - Athlon - Aviator - Defender - Dynast - Enforcer - Hunter - Interceptor - Operator - Recruit - Soldier - Stinger - Technician - Valkyrie - WarriorJust some thoughts that I built off of some posts on the subreddit as well as my personal hopes for the game. Really looking forward to what’s in store for the future.

Honestly I couldn’t care less about the GEN 2 stuff. It’s all ugly to me. Here’s the armor I’d like to see included though.

  • Mark VI - CQB (at least the helmet) - EOD (for the chest piece) - Hayausa (I know, not gonna happen) - Recon (the Halo 3 version) - Scout - ODST - CQC - Air Assault - Pilot - Security (the Halo: Reach version) - Haunted

The only reason I didn’t completely overflow the list with GEN1 or just discard GEN2 altogether is because I know 343 won’t let that happen in the final product. I’m not too big of a fan of most of the GEN2 armors, which is why I picked the ones that looked the most normal and would make a nice classic redesign.

For me the most important part is to make the armour look like metal and not some easily breakable plastic like it does in Halo 5.

I also think it would be a cool feature to have the ability to make the armour look worn like it did in Reach, and other settings to make the armour completely unique.
