Ok so I have always been a huge customization fan and I thought Halo Reach was awesome at it and Halo 4 looks to be pretty awesome as well when it comes to customizing your Spartan. But a few little things I would love to see are being able to have special emblems to go with your name like in Reach where you got to choose emblems from past games to go on your name tag or for Halo veterans to be able to get some sort of unique cosmetic of some sort for having your account linked to Waypoint or something.
Also things like the Haunted helmet and the Katana we’re awesome to get and have. I hope 343 has stuff like that in store for us for doing special challenges or hitting high ranks and maxing out or whatever the rank system has to offer. I already know you get special emblems for going through certain branches later in multiplayer, but I hope there is more then that. I’m not too sure that armor effects will be making a return but I thought they we’re cool as well.
Overall I loved all what Reach had to offer cosmetically, I’m really hoping that 343 builds more on what Reach had, not just with more armor and skin customization, but other things like I mentioned. Its awesome to work toward a cool reward, emblem, or armor piece. I want to have a super unique spartan that looks sick! I’m confident that whatever 343 does I will enjoy as I already am looking forward to throwing a sick skin on my gun and tacked out spartan.
This is very important and a key factor to the Halo 4 experience. Without this, you will not sell as many copies of Halo 4 as you would hope to. Welcome to modern gaming. Great post OP.
Haunted helmet would not make a return due to canon. Since multiplayer is now connected to the story, the in-game version of Real life would not allow human heads to be replaced by skulls.
See if they allow the return of Emil’s or similar helmets, that would work.
I hope 343 take a more realistic and believable approach when it comes to armour customization. Sure, changing your armour pieces, your colours and emblem is fine but when it comes to things like having a skull instead of a head and having cartoon hearts come out of your body it begins to get a bit distracting.
Also, I’m pretty sure they said that you’ll be able to unlock armour through achievements and commendations etc.
> I agree, but I want it to be like halo 3 where you had to work to get special armor.
Exactly, and I would love to see different rewards/armor pieces for different feats. Some could be just pure rank, while other might require some actual skill, take a few achievements (Vidmaster), get a map in matchmaking rooster or something like that. More then just pure points grind at least
> Yeah, I’d like to see things like that return. I enjoy them quite a bit. Also, I thank Bungie for giving me my Haunted Helmet pre-Inheritor.

Woops, did not see that xD Its no big deal though. Thank you for pointing it out. Will be more careful next time. Also, you got it pre-Inheritor? That is awesome. Tell me your secrets! Lol.

Yes totally agree with that. It is so fulfilling in the end to get that piece you have been working hard to get to. I always enjoy stuff much more that way and hopefully will get to again in Halo 4

That is true. Bringing back Emil’s or a new variation of Emil’s would be pretty cool too.

That’s awesome. Hope you will be able to. But I know what you mean about being more realistic. Still with the new Promethean enemy with the skull head and crazy appearance who knows what we will see. We still have yet to see this “great evil” and the so called new Master Chief nemesis. It could be anything. But I agree the more realistic the better. We’ll have to see what path they take or of they are able to balance both creatively and realistically.

Simulated aboard the UNSC infinity, still tied in with the campaign. A simulation does not change the look of a soldier’s armor.

This is why multiplayer should not be cannon. It takes out the fun.
A skull for a helmet in my Halo 4? That clearly draws the line. Super humans fighting each other in outer space and fighting aliens was crazy enough.

Skull or not, canon or not. In the end it all comes down to this one thing: Imma gonna kill all my opponents regardless of their dress
