Spartan Costumization Options

Hello Everyone!

I want to share some of my ideas about Spartan Customization. Not too big, not so many but I want to hear your feedback.

I thinking mainly about the colors. So imagine you have two main colors for your armor as it was before. Take Reach for example.

Then you have the armor skin. The armor skin should be toggle. I mean, if you don’t want it just press LS. This is a familiar method since emblems uses this too. After you chosen your skin, you can paint it separately.

Skins are also can be gained as a pack. I mean, take the PRIME skin for example. Once you unlocked it (with rank or with a commendation) you can equip it for every armor. Don’t mix the skins now, just think about a general set. (I will add it later if you guys want it.)

Anyone remember the armor effects from Reach? Now I have a similar idea. I think it’d be cool if you can change your shield’s color. Not just the yellow glowing effect. You can have green, pink, blue etc.

I don’t know if it’s possible, but since a lot of enemies have different shielding colors it would be cool. Also can be unlocked with rank or commendation.

(Just imagine Purple. It’s like an Engineer recharges your shield.)

Well that’s all for now. I will add things you guys want. Please avoid too complex ideas or insane ones.

Yeah man. The shield thing is interesting. I like them! I want armor effects back though. They gave a cool element in custom games.

They should just let you paint your spartan the same way you can paint your cars in Forza.

I had the same idea with the armor skins, that you should be able to pick one out of maybe 10-15 different skins (i.e. camo, forest, desert, frost, minimalistic, stripes, digital, etc) and lay it over your armor with a selected color.
I actually even expected that when I heared there will be armor skins in Halo 4.

I thought about an option that would give your armor an ‘used’ look.
That option would add scratches and the colors would peel off on some parts of your armor.

And of course I would really like a larger variety of colors, especially dark colors. The colors in Halo 4 are way to bright for my personal taste.

The ability to add attachments to your armor, but more customizable than Halo Reach’s abilities.

(Being able to add Grenade Belts, ammo pouches, Helmet attachments, UAs, and modules to the armor of your choosing without it being preset)

The ability to change the color of your undersuit, and being able to fully manipulate the colors of your Spartan via HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) Slider.

The ability to edit the integrity of your armor. (battle damaged, clean, shiny, etc)

The ability to apply and unlock Armor Skins for your armor.

Full control over your leggings and forearms (Halo 4 got it right with that)

More Visor Colors, those can really personalize yourself.

Also the return of Armor Effects from Halo Reach.

it’d be cool to customize your shoulder skins, arm skins, torso legs and helmet skins separatly.

And i would like a color wheel with tint and shade. They never have the color i want since Halo 2

This.

The only thing I would add is the ability to select which part of your armor will bear your secondary color. You could choose the inner forearm and thighs to make it look like Halo 2, or select the shoulders for a Halo 3 look. Basically, break up every section of the armor for players to choose where the secondary color goes.

The ability to create your own skin.

Elite Customizaton

  1. Choose from Energy Dagger, Energy Garrote, Energy Cutlass and Curveblade as an assasination weapon

I do like the color of your shields idea. Also I wish they’d bring back armor effects but tons more of them and make them more unique!

> The ability to create your own skin.

As much as I would like that idea, I cannot think of a possible way to create a functional UI for it.

Great ideas!

I have another one with weapons.
For Example the the Assault Rifle. Now you have commendations for every weapon in the game. You have seven levels of it. Weapon skins should be unlocked as a pack. Every pack have a Tier. For example. You must complete weapon commendations to be able to get a weapon camouflage. Every weapon should have a stance, and an emblem which are also can be unlocked by using the weapon.

red - Tier 1
blue - Tier 2
green - Tier 3

Novice: Weapon Emblem background.
Qualified: Tier 1 camos can be “attached”.
Proficient: Weapon Emblem foreground.
Adept: Tier 2 camo can be “attached”.
Expert: Tier 3 camo can be “attached”.
Distinguished: Unique stance with the weapon .
Master: Big XP bonus, counts towards “Weapon Mastery”.

Something like this.
