hey guys i was wondering? if 343 decides to bring more armor into the title update would anyone else like certain halo 3 armor variants returned in reach? off the top of my head im thinking of the old recon, eod, scout, mark VI, hayabusa, katana, eva, cqb, rogue and security heads and bodys and shoulders.scout head h3 version could be caled for instance scout v2 or scout mk VI? if there are new ranks included then they could be unlocked at these ranks but mk VI shoulders unlock when the helmet unlocks(brigadier). they might cost even higher cR but it would be awesome.
the h3 elite armors could be included with new ranks as well? i have one more armor suggestion which is more visor colours and the default robot arm(kats in the campaign)
i hope you like my ideas and comment on yours. i would like feed back, bye!
It would be nice to see some of the old armors return, but I think if they added ones that are already in the game (like recon, EOD, etc.) it would get mighty confusing. But I definitely want Rogue/Scout to return. We don’t have any of those recessed visor/protruding helmet ones (at least I can’t think of any off the top of my head), which I think look pretty cool.
for ones already in reach i was just thinking completing the set(EOD/ CQB etc body and shoulders) and the old eva shoulders.
Oh, yeah. That would be nice. Though for ones they already have two out of three pieces of (Security, for example), and have changed fairly dramatically, the original piece might not fit as well with the set.
to be honest i just hate it when you get a helmet with no other stuff. i like odst armor so much partly because its a full set. thats what i like and if the katana was added it should have
A. a seperate body design?
B. be usable as a melee weapon/ used in assasinations? id love to assasinate someone with a katana!
P.S what are your thoughts on my elite armor eturns for higher ranks?
the old securitty helmet and chest could go with say, the first security shoulders(bug eye with the security chest with little antennas on the side and the shoulders without the knife on them would be cool)
also there could be an operator chest or mark V chest for existing armor sets?
Katana assassinations would be pretty awesome 
The problem I see with the Elite armors is that only the head, chest, and shoulders were changed, the rest was the same for all of them. They’d have to make new knee guards, arms, the whole thing. Not to mention there are a few that have equivalents already (flight and ranger, for example).
maybe an arbiter armor which would require an AMAZINGLY high rank(inheritor?higher should more be added?) which would be the equivalent of recon in h3 would be cool
I’m all for this. I liked the H3 EOD, Reconz, and Scout just a little bit better than Reach’s. H3’s Security would be awesome as well.
they could alternatively be featured as helmet upgrades as classic version of the helmet?
Halo 3 armor should stay with Halo 3.
i see what you mean but some like rogue helmet would fit reach i think verymuch.
Hayabusa/Katana will not return.
That was a little trade-off Bungie did with Team Ninja: Halo 3 got the Hayabusa armor and katana, and the DoA game that came out around the same time included a Spartan as a playable character. One-time deal.
But I’d love to see some of the other armors return, especially the Rogue helmet.
was it? i thought it was a pretty awesome armor… the katana could be put on a new chest design maybe and id like the shoulders to return cos they were some of my favs
When I first got Halo 3, I used the Hayabusa/Katana. Now I switch between Recon/Scout head, and keep my Scout shoulder and Recon chest.
Little funfact, I have never changed my Service Tag except for when I screw around with friends on Social. T77 forever!
> was it? i thought it was a pretty awesome armor… the katana could be put on a new chest design maybe and id like the shoulders to return cos they were some of my favs
I liked the shoulders as well…they might be able to return to Halo eventually, albeit under a different name. The katana and the helmet, though, are pretty direct references to Ryu Hayabusa of the Ninja Gaiden series (in particular, the crest on the helmet is identical to Ryu’s). 343 would probably have to clear it with Team Ninja again before they could be brought back.
they really do need some thing though as a human substitute to the sword and hammer even if you just use the combat knife, it would be nice to give that some use or a katana could be an actual weapon on the map? you pick it up and its a melee wep?
I would like to see the old scout variant come back, along with Hayabusa. But if the katana comes back if it’s possible to give it its own assassinations they should do it.

they gave the sword its own so it shouldnt be too hard, on a similar note, ive got an idea for a hammer assassination- kick the enemy to the floor, then hit them on the head with the blade of the hammer and pull it out and throw the body away. like?

I like, I have another assassination idea for the hammer, Player A knocks Player B on his stomach, then A golf swings the hammer right at B’s head, B goes flying in the direction he was hit and does kind of a helicopter twirl in the air.
