New HALO Customization Idea

So my idea is simple but i think it would add a lot to the customization to people’s Spartans like changing the color and armor and such …

as the Halo games have progressed the amount of things you can customize on you Spartan’s have gotten a little better with each game.
-color
-different armor
-change of visor color
-name plates
you get the idea

Idea as you rank up / get credits / EXP {not sure what one HALO 5? will use} you unlock new weapons for you spartan to hold such as HALO 3 had an AR-- HALO REACH has a DMR And HALO 5? could have all of them as you rank up unlock the hammer or needler, sniper the list goes on and on, so when other people look/click on your Spartan they see the weapon you have chosen { NOT TO USE IN THE GAME JUST FOR LOOKS}

and Halo 5? could be any kind of weapon that you see fit i think people would really like this idea and it would inspire people to reach that next level / rank to unlock the weapon the like the most.

TBH, I love the armor customization in Halo 4…however, i would love to customize my own weapon skin. Specifically, choose your signature weapon, Customize it by color, emblem/icon, words, etc. Also, I hope we can customize our team SPOPS or FF ONLY, choose either Marines or ODSTs and you can name them, change their color and emblem.

Armor skin are kind of cool

I enjoyed the Name plate idea Reach had and adding Team or Clan stuff might be cool as well .

There’s so many great thing’s from past games it should be easy to find and use a few…

Feel free to post or give feed back…

I was talking with my girl friend the other day about armor customization for the next gen Halo game and about what features we would love to see added, this is what we talked about.

Armor condition
Standard - basically as they look in Halo 4
In the field - dirt marks around feet and ankles, dirt spatter across visor as well as other part of the armor.
Last Stand - cracked visor, energy sword cut across chest, gun shot marks and cracks across armor plating.

Visor skin
Basically so we can have something like the Orbital helmet without the skull, gives you the ability to unlock skins to apply to your visor, a skull for example.

Armor Attachment
Certain pieces of armor have a single special attachment that is able to be unlocked, Scanner without disk drive for example would be standard armor but then you can unlock disk drive as an optional attachment.

We also talked about how much we loved the Fotus armor, I am a massive Transformers fan and I love how the helmet looks similar to movie Megatron, that’s my favorite thing about the armor, we thought how cool it would be if Fotus (without horn) was standard armor for the next game but with a different skin compared to the console version that you could unlock in a similar way to Recon or to a lesser extent Hayabusa, but if waypoint was able to track your armor progression of past games and acknowledged that you had Fotus unlocked for Halo 4 in your download history or something you would be eligible to own the Horned console version to show off in the next game, this could also be applied to the preorder helmets such as Locus and Deadeye, as special waypoint unlocks I cant see why its unreasonable.

This is basically what we would love to see done, weather its likely or not is a different matter, but it would still be nice. :slight_smile:

> Also, I hope we can customize our team SPOPS or FF ONLY, choose either Marines or ODSTs and you can name them, change their color and emblem.

That’s not a bad idea, it reminds me of an idea I heard about a while back. What if we could customize our Spartans depending on the team their on? For example, you would have a FFA Spartan (Or, the one we have now), and another setup for each color/team available, the most common being red/blue. You would choose a shade of the color (Ex. Blue, cobalt, teal, cyan for blue team; Red, pink, maroon, rose for red team) and a secondary color. Anything in addition to that would just be bonus, like visor colors and armor, etc. I figure if you don’t set up a team color, it would just give you the defaults for the team.

I’ve talked about this with my friends before, as well. It’s a great idea, even if they just swapped it for poses. Each weapon could have it’s own pose, and maybe even an animation. They could be either unlocked through a credit/xp system, or once you’ve earned X kills with the Needler, you can choose to hold it on your player card.

YES, I have always wanted to be able to choose my holding weapon. Maybe you can choose it once you reach mastery in it. Would give some incentive (e.g If someone is holding the PP you know they’re a boss).

Also I wish for a lot more weapon skins with customizable colours. I like some of the halo 4 skins but the colours (DMR,BR,carbine to a lesser extent) are terrible.

Also I like the idea of stances and would be nice to see some more and also have more varation in acquisition difficulty rather than 4 of them being totally easy to get, just level up, and the other 3 by extreme weapon grinding…

this please

i like my Spartan representing my playstyle

i’m a terrible precision weapon guy, and i like using the AR
so it peeves me to see my spartan holding a DMR or something else.

a thing that i’d like too see come back is Armor sets like Reach
where you can add PDA’s or bandoleers or pockets to your armor

Halo 4 armor just seems way too simple IMO

Yeah that’s a good size list you have there and many are good ideas
even if u just added things from HALO 4 and other past HALO’s you would be able to see some crazy things…

I hope that the NEW HALO adds the old with some new and we get a ton of options

Great idea’s in here I would LOVE to see this added!
Maybe armour skins are unlocked and can be used on any armour instead of being limited. For example CIO Web skin can be used on Mark VI?

However… I don’t want it if it means I can’t have my Vortex Emblem back or my Mark V!

I agree and want to see all the ideas above.

Speaking of customization does anybody think that the arms and legs on armor should be part of full sets like a Pathfinder arms and legs and a Raider arms and legs set.

This has already happened with Recruit, Mark VI and the Fotus. I want want more full sets like that.

This way we’d have more options and the arms and legs wouldn’t appear to be so random.

and i like the idea of mastering a weapon and then unlocking it for ur
