Why all the default armor?

You should turn them off. My game has been crashing lately and from what I see on these forums it’s something to do with the new useless armor variants. I assure you, none of them actually do anything at all and toggling them off will only benefit you and everyone else. You get no benefit from applying any of the various armor pieces or visor colors.

My friends have never once had an issue with MCC crashing and we all have the toggle off and wear the new armors because we like them. I think I’ll keep the toggle off and keep my access to the new stuff that I earned and wear for fun around, thanks, lol. We see no reason in having the legacy toggle on when we like the new armors and don’t have any game issues.

You do realize that none of the armors - including the “Classic” sets - do anything? They are all, essentially, useless. At least with that mindset.

Dude he’s trolling, he does this on every post that has anything to do with cosmetics. But this time he’s lied.

Just stating the truth. All of the various armor -even the new stuff from what I hear - can safely be ignored as it has no purpose and does not impact gameplay in any way. If, like you say, I’m lying and some of it does do something, please advise! I’d like nothing more than for unlockable content to have an actual use.

I play an Elite in Halo 3, but for both Spartans and Elites, I use the default head. Mark VI helmet just looks the best to me, its got the perfect balance of colours that can be customized with good size portions of where those colours are applied. Everything is noticable.
As for the Elite head, the most classic form of Elite head is the combat head. Mandibles exposed, though armoured, spikes on the back of the headpiece, aerodynamic design…

Pretty much every other piece of armour I’ll customize, but I have next to no interest in changing the helmets for either of them.

Reach and 4 on the other hand… Well, Reach I’m also using Mark VI, cause again, just greatly prefer the design. Can’t get that with 4, it looks boxy as hell. 4 I did branch out for something new.

Nice try, I caught you in the act. You were saying it makes the game crash more which is a blatant lie.

Don’t care didn’t ask + ratiod + Reported + skill issue + cope + seethe

If you wanna play -Yoink!-, I guess you can say that it helps identify you out of others on the battlefield without having to check someone’s gamertag or three digit.

That is(was? Perhaps it has been fixed by now) true as reported by other players in other threads. Feel free to peruse the forum and you’ll see the threads I’m referring to. Just trying to spread the knowledge - the game crashes were also giving temp bans to players that were kicked. Since the armor does nothing anyway it’s safer to have it turned off to prevent that from happening.

The three-digit tag is more than enough and more often than not your teammates aren’t in a direct line of sight anyway or are at a distance. That’s a poor attempt at trying to make the armor actually useful. If - like me - you play FFA game types with a friend you can simply change your color scheme which will let them know where you are more easily. Obviously in team gameplay that wouldn’t matter though.

Now you’re the one being dishonest. That is a known issue, especially on base model xbox one. Hell, in 30 seconds I found multiple reddit threads where someone has this issue, even on a series x.

Summary

It has nothing to do with the armor that is bull-Yoink!- nice try though, I wouldn’t trust you or any moron dumb enough to make the same claim when they don’t work for 343 or even mod.

Come back when “fixed issue where new armor caused game to crash” is in the patch notes.

It’s okay, you can ignore the other poster that backed up what I was referring to. Also, if I were you I’d avoid such “offensive” words as the ones you used above - using that type of language is a bannable offense. It’s not my fault the armor is all useless…if I had any say in the development of the game I would have ensured that it had a meaningful purpose.

I don’t see anyone backing you up
I don’t care

while I typically don’t agree with them on their opinions in regards to new cosmetics (Theater Mode debuted with Cosmetic Armor for a reason after all), in this case it is indeed factually correct with regards to Halo 3 that new cosmetics can, and have, crashed certain maps for odd reasons when active. one of the most well known examples was and might still be Forge on Epitaph.

For the new armors? I only crash in Halo 3 Custom Game Browser if I turn the new armors on. I’ve had it off out of necessity.

Must be a PC problem I’ve never had this

It’s an everything problem. Happens on my One X and Series X. When it happens on a One it shuts off the whole console, when it happens on a Series X it crashes back to the dashboard.
