Keeping this thread alive I agree even though you cant see your back when playing I dont like the trash bag/spacesuit back we have it needs something there like a mini framed backpack for camping.

I agree mate. Appreciate it. 
Its self repairing armor. Meaning it doesnt need a shield power supply?? Thats just off the details of it. Maybe a gel like or epoxy like substance that fills burns and bullet holes?
But I agree, a pack or an armor plate there would be more pleasing to the eyes. Looks like a 1980’s under suit for astronauts back there lol

343 did answer a question asked about the encyclopedia with the cooling something atachment. (Forgot the name) It’s supposed to repair atmor that has been compromised (Like Sams armor in the fall of reach.) So this would make sense in away.
Eva thruster pack
Brute back plate repurposed brute armor
Octagon, former blast door/cover
Something more than straps and a belt buckle.
Even the “tactical” backpack

Bootypack?
Rakshasa does look a little empty on the back- with just the diagonal harness straps rather than anything like an armor plate or ODST style pack.
Would also be a good way to provide cool and unique aspects on a per-core basis (i.e. Some cores have entirely unique attachment slots).

343 needs more excuses to put gimmicky garbage in the shop anyway, and I love the back attachments in MCC, so with the coming crosscore, it would be nice for them to make back attachments crosscore in advance so we can have them when it’s ready. People already planned to make some ODST crosscore stuff, so backpacks would be great, but I’d be all for a Katana throwback

Since their isn’t a " back attachment " tab, an easy way to do this is just make more chest pieces for it that have a back as well. Seems simple but then again this UI is an absolute mess.

Kinda something I have been wanting a bit.
You see, we have the ODST backpacks worn by Dutch, Mikey, Rookie, Dare, Graves, Hudson, Ramos, and Lang.
And in Reach we have the ammo pack worn by Jorge, the EVA pack Noble Six wore in the Long Night of Solace mission, the Marine’s radio pack, the Marine’s backpack, the Marine’s XL Backpack.
Not to mention we still have the back-attachments of Halo 3 MCC that I have yet to mention AND Halo 3’s Forge Prop of the “Rucksack” as options.
Oh and also Carter’s “bootypack” that wasn’t featured in his Armor Kit.
It would be nice to add these as an new tab for customization, or as an alteration of existing chest pieces - kinda like how helmets have their helmet attachment options? Let us choose a chest piece and then choose what back-equipment is applied with it.
Do we want to replicate Carter? We can choose the Commando Pockets or the Commando Pockets variant that gives us Carter’s bootypack.
Or Jorge’s Ammopack as an option for the UA Grenadier Collar.
Or the ODST Backpack variants as we select the ODST chest armor for the Mark V Bravo or the Rakshasa armor.

I require a backpack, the armor just looks nekkid from behind
Like it’s cool but seriously the back is just so blah, even if it canonically doesn’t need a back mounted power supply at least let us put SOMETHING

Hey! It’s a bum bag!
If on the front it is a -Yoink!- Pack, then on the backside of the belt it is a Booty Pack
Yes please, it need its power core

Looks ok from the front…
Woah woah, quagmire, remember what’s on the other side.
I think some backpacks could be cool. Give us the option to put a Wolf Fang on our back at the same angle as the ones on Normal - Legendary. Give us the ol Katana and lots more.
