Armor customization



Originally discovered in the Halo 3 Beta code by modders, armor permutations provide high levels of player customization and were confirmed by GamePro's June issue.

Bungie has confirmed that all of the armor permutations have no effect on gameplay.

Higher resolution screenshots of the armor permutations in action can be found at the Halo 3 Project's screenshots section at Bungie.net, as of July 2, 2007.

Bungie has stated that there are "thousands" of possible combos, but they refuse to state exactly how many variations will be in the final product.

Spartan Armor Permutations

 * MJOLNIR Armor - Mark VI
 * EVA Armor - Extra Vehicular Activity armor
 * CQB Armor - Close Quarters Battle armor

Bungie has hinted to more types of armor in the June 8, 2007 Weekly Update. Also in June 22, 2007 Weekly Update: "Players were using different permutations than we’ve shown"

In a new update on Bungie.com on July 4: "The EVA Armor and the CQB Armor are two of the numerous types of armor available.

There were 5 permutations for Spartans discovered by modders in the Beta code; Bungie has currently shown us 3 of them. It is possible that the "numerous" permutations as mentioned above is numbered at 5.
