| | '''Armor customization''' is a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''Halo 4'', ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' that allow players to customize their [[multiplayer]] character's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|armor]] to their liking. Almost every game featuring this aspect of customization allowed players to change various pieces of armor worn by their multiplayer character. In ''Halo 3: ODST'' specifically, the player was allowed to choose members of [[Alpha-Nine]] to play as for the game's [[Firefight]] component. The player was still given color choices, and the option to play with or without a helmet was available. |
|
| |
|
|
| | In ''Halo 3'', options were limited to helmets, shoulders, and chest plates, ''Halo: Reach'' added onto this selection and offered various helmet attachments, along with newly implemented wrist, utility, knee pad, and visor color options. ''Halo 4'' would continue this trend, but instead of wrist attachments and leg utilities, offered full customization of both forearms and legs. ''Halo 5: Guardians'' regressed and only allowed players to swap full body armor sets and helmets. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' initially launched with static armor sets for ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', but was eventually updated to return ''Halo 4''{{'}}s customization to how it was on the Xbox 360. ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' were also given helmet, shoulder, chest, forearm, and leg options. ''Halo Infinite'' went back to a ''Halo: Reach'' style of customization, but with the addition of armor cores where different armor pieces can be attached to a specific base armor set. |

| | Beginning with ''Halo 3'', the player was allowed to swap genders for their Spartan in the form of a voice option. ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' would carry this forward with male and female player models being distinct, while ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' would drop the option. |
| '''Armor Permutations''' are a feature in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' which let players customize their [[multiplayer|Multiplayer]] character's armor to their liking. This feature allows players to change the Helmet, Shoulders and Chest armor pieces worn by their multiplayer character. Players also have the option of choosing between being a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]] in multiplayer. | |

|
| ==SPARTAN Armor Permutations==
| | In a unique twist, ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' allowed the player to choose between being a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] or [[Sangheili|Elite]]. ''Halo 2'' didn't allow for specific armor swapping, but ''Halo 3'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' featured varying levels of armor customization for the Elites. ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 5: Guardians'', and ''Halo Infinite'' dropped this aspect of player customization altogether. |
| There are a wide variety of [[SPARTAN II]] armor permutations, with eleven helmets, eight shoulder pieces, and eight chest pieces for a total of 5,632 different SPARTAN II armor permutations: one helmet, two shoulder pieces, and one chest piece per permutation, not including the [[Bungie Armor]] chest armor. It should be noted the [[Rogue Armor|Rogue]], [[MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|Mark V]], and [[ODST Battle Armor|ODST Armor]], which only have helmet pieces, and [[Security Armor]], which has both helmet and shoulder pieces but is in the absence of a chest permutation. The HAYABUSA Project, includes the HAYABUSA and Katana permutations.

The Bungie Chest Piece creates the flame on the player's head which can be used with any helmet and shoulder piece. There are but extremely few ways to recieve this. One, is to be a Bungie employee, or compete in a new competition called the "Sarkathlon" run by G4TV. (This competition has now ended)<ref>[http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/700295/Mr-Sarks-Halo-3-Sarkathlon-4---Do-You-Want-The-Bungie-Exclusive-Flaming-Armor.html G4tv's ''"Do You Want The Bungie Exclusive Flaming Armor"'' Competition]</ref>

| ''Halo 3: ODST'' features armor customization, though it is not as complex as ''Halo 3'''s. One can play as each member of the squad having their own unique aesthic armor. Players can choose primary and secondary armor colors, but the armor's main color remains the same. Players can also choose not to wear a helmet unless they are using the Rookie character model. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not effect game play. Without a helmet the player still has the same health and stamina and they can still use [[VISR]] mode.
| |
| | |
| People who pre-ordered ''Halo 3: ODST ''can play as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]].
| |
| | |
| ===Characters===
| |
| | |
| *'''[[The Rookie|Rookie]]''': Unlocked by default.
| |
| *'''[[Veronica|Dare]]''': Complete the [[Campaign Mode #Halo 3: ODST Campaign levels|Campaign]] on [[Legendary]].
| |
| *'''[[Edward Buck|Buck]]''': Unlock the [[Tayari Plaza (Achievement)|Tayari Plaza]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]''': Unlock the [[Uplift Reserve (Achievement)|Uplift Reserve]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]''': Unlock the [[NMPD HQ (Achievement)|NMPD HQ]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Michael Crespo|Mickey]]''': Unlock the [[Kizingo Boulevard (Achievement)|Kizingo Boulevard]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]]''': Came with pre-order of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation, but it was taken out before ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release. Bungie, however, did not explain why.
| |
| *The neck of an Elite (regardless what armor permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol]]. In addition, the projectile will simply pass through the neck, as though the neck wasn't there, without a blood spatter. This is because both Elites and Spartans share the same hitbox (i.e. where you can hit the character), but have different models.
| |
| *Each Elite also has a modified neck, whether sleek black, or a different model such as scale-like plating at the back.

Armor customization is a feature in Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite that allow players to customize their multiplayer character's armor to their liking. Almost every game featuring this aspect of customization allowed players to change various pieces of armor worn by their multiplayer character. In Halo 3: ODST specifically, the player was allowed to choose members of Alpha-Nine to play as for the game's Firefight component. The player was still given color choices, and the option to play with or without a helmet was available.
In Halo 3, options were limited to helmets, shoulders, and chest plates, Halo: Reach added onto this selection and offered various helmet attachments, along with newly implemented wrist, utility, knee pad, and visor color options. Halo 4 would continue this trend, but instead of wrist attachments and leg utilities, offered full customization of both forearms and legs. Halo 5: Guardians regressed and only allowed players to swap full body armor sets and helmets. Halo: The Master Chief Collection initially launched with static armor sets for Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo 2: Anniversary, but was eventually updated to return Halo 4's customization to how it was on the Xbox 360. Halo 3 and Halo 2: Anniversary were also given helmet, shoulder, chest, forearm, and leg options. Halo Infinite went back to a Halo: Reach style of customization, but with the addition of armor cores where different armor pieces can be attached to a specific base armor set.
Beginning with Halo 3, the player was allowed to swap genders for their Spartan in the form of a voice option. Halo: Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5: Guardians would carry this forward with male and female player models being distinct, while Halo 2: Anniversary would drop the option.
In a unique twist, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 2: Anniversary allowed the player to choose between being a Spartan or Elite. Halo 2 didn't allow for specific armor swapping, but Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 2: Anniversary featured varying levels of armor customization for the Elites. Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and Halo Infinite dropped this aspect of player customization altogether.
Halo Online's customization required players to purchase armor pieces with in-game currency, similar to Halo: Reach.
