MCC Cosmetic Ideas for Halo CE and Halo 2 Classic

So.

Apparently 343 is digging through old files to add content to Halo MCC for the classic games.
AWESOME !!!

So this likely means that the original 1999 model for Spartans may be touched up upon for Halo CE to be used as a cosmetic item, the Orion Armor.

But what else is there?
What else could be added to Halo CE and Halo 2?

Well, if we are going to stick to the models just being that; complete and full models, then here is what I recommend: give us alternate outfits to choose for Halo CE and Halo 2 Classic.

For example -

Halo CE —

  • Mark V
    (Default)

  • Argus
    (Mark V but with a recreation of Linda-058’s Argus Helmet)

  • Cohort
    (Mark V but with a recreation of Frederic-104’s Cohort Helmet)

  • Hermes
    (Mark V but with a recreation of Kelly-087’s Hermes Helmet)

  • Mark IV [B]
    (Early Mark IV armor from Halo Wars’ design documents)

  • Mark V [B]
    (A recreation of the Mark V [B] armor from Halo Reach, but in the Blam! 1.0 engine of Halo CE)

  • Orion
    (Halo 1999 Spartan Unit armor, now touched up)



Halo 2 — SPARTANS — — —

  • Mark VI
    (Default)

  • Mark IV
    (The actual final design for the Mark IV armor from Halo Wars 1 & 2)

  • Mark V
    (An updated port of the Mark V armor design from Halo CE)

  • Mark VII [P]
    (A prototype design of the Mark VII armor in the MJOLNIR Gen-1 era. I recommend getting the likeness of SgtHK’s Mark VI Desert Scheme fanart render for this, though with a helmet that better resembles an early version of the Mark VII helmet or Cavalino helmet from Halo Infinite.)

  • ODST
    (Simply put, port the ODST armor model from the campaign, upscale the armor a bit so that it matches the size of the other Spartan suits, and let players play as ODSTs in the multiplayer)

  • SPI Mk.1
    (The standard model of Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor worn by Spartan-IIIs. The armor worn by Spartan Jonah-B283 should be used for the likeness)
    https://www.halopedia.org/Jonah-B283#/media/File:Headhunters_-_Jonah_profile.png

  • SPI Mk.2
    (The alternate model of Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor worn by the Spartan-IIIs, likely upgraded versions of the original ODST model of SPI armor. The likeness of Spartan Roland-B210.)

And then of course there is the Elite armors that are already in the game but are not used in the multiplayer… yet…

  • Arbiter
  • Heretic
  • Heretic Leader
  • Honor Guard
  • Councilor

Idk bout the spartan armors for h2, rather have armors that were featured in game

Which was just two armors - Spartans in Mark VI and Elites in Combat Suits

Oddly enough though, on some boxes for the original Xbox there were promotional screenshots of games, one of which was Halo 2 with ODSTs and Master Chief on the Zanzibar map’s beach; just standing in a line.

Either playable ODSTs were planned, A.I.s were going to be involved in the multiplayer for some matches, or this was just spawning models in a row to make a promo shot.

there were multiple elite armors in the game

Yes.
But only one was used in multiplayer.

I am saying they should add more Elite armors from the campaign into the Multiplayer of Halo 2 AND for Halo CE and Halo 2 they should add more Spartan armor options.

Spice it up.

This is not likely at all. The dig site team which consists of an all star team of modders is touching up and planning to release cut assets for modders to play around with or finish themselves. They have frequently deemphasized the idea that any of their work will make it to the retail build of MCC. If anything is to make it to retail I would wager it be maps not completely new features.

But completely missing out on cosmetic options is kinda shooting yourself in the foot.

While all other Halo games give you cosmetic options in the form of alternate models or armor, Halo CE just gives you recolors.

This invites the ability to wear some new armor instead of everyone being the Mark V running around.

Honestly any kind of custom weapon/map skins or textures for Halo 2 would be a warm welcome.

HALO CE:

  • Master Keyes…
    Mark V reskinned which should obviously include his dorky nametag on the chestpiece. Clear visor so you can see CE Captain Keyes’ occasionally blinking head inside the helmet. Smoking pipe in his mouth if it’ll fit inside the helmet with his head.

  • Johnson 069…
    Mark V reskinned to look like the rusty CE Marine armour. Clear visor so you can see CE Sgt Johnson’s occasionally blinking head inside the helmet. Lit cigar and cap if they’ll fit inside the helmet with his head.

  • Stacker aka MRL…
    Mark V with a clear visor with the Marcus Lehto marine’s occasionally blinking head inside.

  • Spruced up CE Orion armour spartan.

  • Mark V camo versions. Digital, woodland, urban, snow etc.

  • Female Mark V. Also has the camo options.

  • Cortana version of the female spartan. Clear visor with her head inside the helmet which maybe changes to her freaking out colours when receiving damage.

  • Floodified Mark V Spartan. Broken visor showing Captain Keyes Flood head inside. Especially if they implement the Energy Sword and Infection in which case this should be force equipped on infected.

HALO 2C:

  • Floodified Mark VI Spartan and Floodified Elite. Infection should be officially implemented and either of these, depending on what the player plays as, should be force equipped on infected

  • Mark VI camo versions.

  • Female Mark VI which also has the camo versions.

  • Miranda Keyes version of female Mark VI with clear visor showing her occasionally blinking head inside.

  • Cortana version of female mark vi.

  • Demon Mark VI.

  • Mark VI Johnson.

  • Mark VI Lord Hood.

  • Spartan Ling-Ling. Clear visor. Severed dog head in formaldehyde.

  • Every single campaign variant of Elites especially Arbiter.

i would definitely like more maps, H2A feels like it has very small number of maps, they should’ve remastered all of 2s maps in H2A, probably were short on time but they’re adding so much crap now i dont see why they cant add more maps too.
