Why did you make Recruit default armour?

343 why did you make Recruit Default armour?

I thought Warrior was the default? And you’ve spent ages making Warrior the recognized Spartan armour in Halo 4, you even made TOYS on it why did you now change it to Recruit?

Because it’s “Recruit”. It makes sense to make it default.

it should be noted that both eb games and jb-hi-fi in australia are STILL advertising recruit as being an exclusive to the LE

jbhifi link
in the jb hi fi link it clearly says "in game armour/skin armour: recruit skin: prime

eb games link
in the ebgames link it clearly says “exclusive in game armour: recruit”

Hmmm, lets see…

  1. Because your a recruit.
  2. Because its the right armor to wear.
  3. Because you can always customize your appearance.

Three perfectly good reasons why recruit armor should be worn to begin with.

Name aside, the Recruit armour was advertised as being exclusive to LE buyers. Frankly, I agree with making the Recruit armour default for all; it looks good and it closely resembles the popular ODST armour. Frankly, despite the fact that I am getting the LE, I was a little disappointed that the Recruit armour would be only available for LE buyers. It’s too good to be given to a small minority!

Still, it begs the question of whether or not it’s being replaced as an LE exclusive. I mean, taking away a bonus from the LE is kind of raw deal for me and other LE buyers. Is there some other special armour that we’re getting?

Why name it RECRUIT armour then?

Doesn’t make sense if it isn’t the default armour.

refer to my links i posted its STILL being advertised as exckusive to the LE

What’s the point in making the recruit armor “Exclusive” to Limited edition when it isn’t. Maybe it’s just an error? It may change to something else closer to launch.

As far as I could tell, it said that it was a skin, not the armor itself. It’s a shame to see other sites (non-official) advertising it as exclusive armor.

This is why there was such an uproar about the LE because it was devalued so much by the removing of supposed exclusives

I seriously doubt its a typeo

two differnet companies have the same description of contents
plus these companies would nto be able to advertise these things without permission/confirmation from microsoft/343i

whats happened is that this was the original infomration released by microsoft/343i and was changed down the road for what ever reason

those non offical sites would not be able to advertise any content within the LE without confirmation from microsoft/343i that would be illegal

Shoe me a corporation who would give a damn what is or is not “illegal”, and I’ll show you a unicorn.

Why everyone think what warrior armor supposed te be default? Only becouse it was first armor shown in the early buids of the game? This isnt making any sence guys.

default has been there forever…why not change it up fo rthe next 3 games then we can go back to default for Halo 7,8 and 9

Because its called “Recruit”. Besides, Warrior looked god awful anyway.

Because it doesn’t look bad but it’s as simple as it gets.
