I wouldn’t mind being able to pick voices for your Spartan for the MP like firefight voices for Reach.
We already pick voices, would be cool to have more to choose from

So you want less customization in the form of overall more modularity in exchange for more choices per module?

animated colors for your spartan
spartan animations for the end of the match [for a loss or a win]
more voices (recognizable or just more spartan voices] [voices that can be chosen to be reacted to certain things ingame] example: a enemy spartan shoots a friendly down “we’ve lost one! time to avenge him/her!”
custom loading screen (if it can be animated or not)
ingame music (enabled or not enabled) (can be specified for different halo-game music.)
i ran out of ideas, op did a great job listing those things out

If we ever get to the point where we have time-unlimited skill and weapon mastery rewards, I’d like to see things like a holographic cowboy hat for a gunslinger challenge or hand armor pieces with energy claws for a melee challenge.

Don’t be stupid, I didn’t specifically say that we should lift only Reach customization over in terms of options. I meant the same style of customization, down to emblem creation, primary and secondary selection, and having the more modular system Reach enjoys along with Reach’s CR system to unlock.
The only reason something should be on a separate core imo, is if the body base is significantly different, like Elites or Fractures. I don’t see the sense in having the base Spartan human body type needing a split MK7 and MKvB core when you can add additional options to choose which Chest, which Leg armor you want.
For example, what if I want to use Reach’s base chest but with MK7 legs? That’s why I also replied to the other guy that I agree a mix of Reach and 4/5 would be nice too.
I’d much prefer if they merged MK7 and MKvB cores with the following options:
Helmet > Attachments + Visor
Base Chest Armor > Attachments
Base Leg Armor > Kneepads
Base Arm Armor > Arm attachments + Gloves
“>” means subcategory.
Or alternatively, keep the core system but remove the coating system entirely. Have all coatings be universal unlocks since it simply takes a template and slaps it onto dye channels anyway.

Free color selector via a color wheel. Unlockable patterns and finishes, some handed out for free, some unlockable for free, and some you have to pay for. The ability to choose patterns, colors, and finishes on each armor piece. Let racing game customization be your inspiration. Maybe even something like the Autosculpt feature NFS Carbon introduced. Come on man, when EA outdoes your customization, you know you biblically screwed up.

more stuffs i thought about
walking, running, idle (ingam with their gun or melee weapon out], jumping, sliding, dashing, and crouching animations. (example, a spartan idling in a different way with their gun down, or a spartan jumping while holding their gun up]
different types of melee animations: [ex: kicking, hand-chopping on the head, doom-punching…etc…]
animated visors, but responding in a different way
(example: visor having a sound icon moving when a spartan speaks or their player is speaking to the mic.]
[example 2: visors that have animated eyes that can respond when the spartan has killed another spartan, jumped, slide, running, idling or just reacting back when a AI talks or the halo announcer speaks] >
[example: " no-scope!" - visor eye winks for a small amount of time | AI: “a well placed plasma.” - visor does happy eyes in response]
+fun idea+ [your AI could be sitting on your shoulder or on your back for a ride]

Issue is how will the game decide which Spartan core to default too in Ranked if a Elite core is selected?
All Spartans are the same height and general hitbox, regardless of Armor Core.
Elite players in Halo have always had the problem of the fact that they are a larger stature with a larger hitbox, making it a disadvantage to play as them in ranked. However, their headshot hitbox was inconsitent in most games, as it involved a head that was in-front of the torso.
- Shooting from behind meant you couldn’t be headshot since your head was blocked by your torso.
- Your neck didn’t have a hitbox, so a sniper shot that technically should’ve hit would instead pass through the neck without causing damage as there was no neck hitbox on Elites in Halo 3 (cannot recall if this was an issue in Halo Reach)
- Headshots are also harder to target as when you turn your character, your head rotates in a wide circle, which contrasts the Spartan’s head that is sitting on top of the torso; which turns at a much smaller and thus easier to target circle.
In conclusion, all Spartan Armor Cores would be available for use in Ranked. Elites however are unable to be used in ranked.
Color wheel for everything including the visors. No color restrictions. Pay for coating templates, you customize them yourself and can profit from them also!

It’d be nice if eventually they changed coatings to be a preset pattern with colours able to be change

What would people think of an option to have the game rotate through your different armors with each new game if you chose to? That way you could show off your different cores.
That would be pretty cool
