Please chop up Reach & 2A Campaign Elites and add to Halo 3

At least the helmets and shoulders.

P.S. Obviously also make Reach per piece customization.

Reach Elites are unlikely to ever be altered for customization, even in regards to harness components being ported to other games. Not to mention how 343i would probably have to introduce the Reach Elite biped to H3 or else deal with some intense model wrangling with the H3 Elite biped.

Breaking up the Reach Elite models (which are shared with the campaign) might cause various bugs to crop up throughout the campaign, as the system wasn’t intended to support it.
If anything, the opposite process might be enacted; H3 and H2/A Elite harnesses ported into Reach as whole-baked models. Could probably be considerably easier that way, though it would probably require porting the bipeds too.
