I haven’t read any information on this recently, and I want to be sure that I’m not misunderstanding what I’ve heard through different interviews I’ve watched.
As you rank up and unlock different armor within your class, does the armor you lock provide certain type of enhancements to your Spartan? Or is strictly cosmetic (i.e. Halo Reach)?
Anyone have information on this??? If so, please include links that discuss this.
Thanks.
I believe they said that the armor that affects gameplay is your Armor Ability.
For your custom loadout, whatever Armor Ability you have equipped is added to the armor.
So, technically, no.
I got this impression too when they said that armour was no longer purely cosmetic any more.
However, from what I’ve seen, it is and AA’s are still the only thing that affect your gameplay.
Armor in Halo has never affected gameplay.
I don’t think they would change that now.
Armor does not have any effect, other than to alter your look.
Specializations only allow you to unlock Tactical and Support packages related to it. They also unlock armor that is themed around it.
