Unlocking Armor - Achievements or Money?

How would you like armor to be unlocked? Through achievements, which required you to do things in campaign and multiplayer that required skill and stuff (Like Halo 3) or with money, were you simply get it with cash? (Like Reach)

While it’s probable that armor, like weapons and upgrades, are bought by spartan points, what do you want?

I think Achievements should be the one, but it’s probably going to be cash.

I think it should be cash because there is more possibilities to what you can buy. But I also want achievement-only things that you can get which are cooler than things that you can buy.

Both. Some armors should be exclusivr to certain achievements like beating the game on legendary and so on. But most should be by spartan points.

I hope credits, there’s so many more advantages and it makes more sense. But there should be some special armour surprises for people who do special achievements.

Maybe a point system. Like if you complete a challenge or rank up, you get x amount of unlock points. Otherwise, the money system would be fine.

you should add a pole:

achievements
cash
both

i vote both

Both, but no online MP achievements. All it does is encourage boosting.

A combination of both would be nice.

I feel like it will be like Reach were you will spend your credits, in this case, spartan points. I know one thing for sure, I would never actually buy armor with my own money, so not worth it just for a silly in game thing that has not effect on gameplay.

Both!.. would work perfectly.

well if its like the achievements in halo reach that 343 made, where you don’t see that game type at all. i would say both tho. and to me from my understanding its maybe ranked. note i have only got that idea from the como-con panel.

343I confirm at the SDCC panel, that Armour will unlock instantly when you hit a specific rank (Think of Reach’s system but without the need to buy it).

Also if you go Here and scroll down to Armour Customization towards the bottom it says this

> Some of the rarest armor sets and components can only be received upon completion of specific in-game Commendations, Challenges, or other Waypoint goals.

Achievements, Points, Leveling, Waypoint unlocks.

i can anwser this question for you buddy. the SDCC panel confirmed that armour is unlocked by ranking up, but you dont need to buy them. once unlocked, you can put it on. HOPE EVERYONE SEES THIS

I think it’s been confirmed that some will be through achievements while most will be from ranking up.

nope look at what i just wrote

I think most of the armor should be unlocked through Halo 4’s Spartan points system. But achievement specific armor would be nice too. Im not interested enough in skins and armor to buy them.

my entire issue with reach is that it got rid of customs games by forcing people to play matchmaking. To get the spartan point(SP) to get money for cool armor. If they do make money i hope they reward custom game with enough SP to get armor if the SP don’t effect rank then they can award customs with them with out worrying about boosters.

I’m sorry for rambling but that the way i feel about it

entire group of words was the screw up of the English language i have ever committed and I apologize
