'''Armor customization''' returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''. In ''Halo 3'', unlocking armor permutations involved getting a certain [[Achievements (Halo 3)|achievement]], or a group of achievements. In ''Halo: Reach'', armor is mostly acquired by purchasing it with "[[credit]]s" (cR) in '''The Armory''', although some armor permutations may have to be unlocked first by reaching a certain rank. Credits are earned by winning or finishing games in the [[Campaign]], [[Matchmaking]], [[Custom game]], [[Firefight]], or [[Forge]] modes; by completing achievements; by getting [[commendations]]; or by completing daily and weekly challenges. As with ''Halo 3'', every armor permutation in ''Halo: Reach'' is purely for aesthetic purposes and does not impact gameplay whatsoever. | '''Armor customization''' returns in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', but with far deeper customization options than ''[[Halo 3]]''.

The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking. Instead, Elites are limited to [[Slayer#Halo: Reach|Elite Slayer]], [[Invasion]] and [[Invasion Slayer]] gametypes. Elites are also usable in custom games (through a "Preferred Species" setting) and in Firefight. Armor customization for Elites has been largely simplified from ''Halo 3'': players can only choose a complete armor set rather than making individual armor changes to their Elite player model. Unlocking each armor set requires the player to reach a certain rank for certain armor; for example, to obtain the armor of an Ultra Elite, the player must reach the rank of [[Warrant Officer]]{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 6/11/10|D=12|M=10|Y=2014}} | The game no longer allows players to use Elites as their default player model in matchmaking.
