Skin differences
Are the skins different for each armor, because the preorder skins are only available for one armor. Bioniclepluslotr 08:34, 12 June 2012 (EDT)


 * Think of these skins like emblems; you can put it in any armor and have it colored in any way you want.— subtank   10:05, 12 June 2012 (EDT)


 * So, for example, why does the Amazon preorder say Web skin for CIO? Can you get the Web design for other armors? Bioniclepluslotr  11:11, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
 * The preorder skins vary depending on which store you preorder the game from. The skin for CIO is only available if you preorder from Amazon.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 11:17, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
 * So is the Web exclusive to the CIO, or is it open to all the others and if you want it on CIO, you have to preorder? Bioniclepluslotr  08:36, 13 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Copy+paste: "Think of these skins like emblems; you can put it in any armor and have it colored in any way you want." So, skins are exclusive but are not limited only to CIO (at least, it shouldn't only be limited to CIO... if it is... well... *shrugs*). — subtank   10:14, 13 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Oh, so the skins can be put on any armor, and the pictures are just examples? Makes MUCH more sense now. Bioniclepluslotr  10:22, 13 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Does anyone have a source for this. Not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to read up some details. Bioniclepluslotr  19:43, 14 June 2012 (EDT)

Skin separation
I've been going back and forth in my mind with this but is it okay if I create a separate article for the skins? It seems a bit odd to have them listed here without any references or proof of existence, and no sample images. Basically it looks tacky in my opinion. Plus the list is getting long and some (if not all) of these skins belong to a specific armor and the way they are shown here doesn't identify them. So again, is it okay if I (we) create a new article for just "Skins"? I'll look for references if I can find any for them. -- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 18:11, 24 September 2012 (EDT)
 * You know what, I think placing them in a chart like with the Halo: Reach article would suffice.-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 18:37, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

HAZOP Skin
I think ALOY and Forest are the same. They look the same and in the PAX demos, they showed all armor and all skins and each armor only had one skin, so basically ALOY is a renamed Forest camo. Bioniclepluslotr 23:42, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

Default
So someone wrote that the Recruit variant will be default starting armor. While this is very plausible, I'm not sure if we have any confirmation on this so we should leave it blank for now, right? I mean, the Warrior variant is also a good candidate for default armor as it was the earliest seen and most promoted. I honestly believed that it was default, but of course we have no proof. Or do we? If we do please let me know and correct me. If not, then that Recruit should be left blank I think.--Ender the Xenocide 20:45, 11 October 2012 (EDT)
 * The Halo Bulletin 10.10.12 confirms that the Recruit armor is default. --Courage never dies. 23:17, 11 October 2012 (EDT)
