**Additionally, at the time of the update for ''Halo 3's'' launch, the Spartan customization menu reused ''Reach'' tooltips, and stated the player can change the appearance of their Spartan by "adding or removing armor", despite the game only providing the option to switch armor sets at that time. The Elite menu properly stated the player can only select specific armor classes. This was updated at the time of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'s'' launch later in 2020, opting to use more general terminology with the switch to more intensive customization. | **Additionally, at the time of the update for ''Halo 3's'' launch, the Spartan customization menu reused ''Reach'' tooltips, and stated the player can change the appearance of their Spartan by "adding or removing armor", despite the game only providing the option to switch armor sets at that time.

*As of the release of ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' on PC, the updated Elite armor sets reused descriptions from the [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]], [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec Ops]], and [[Sangheili Ranger|Ranger]] Elite armor sets seen in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', as a result of reused menu text. With the release of ''Halo 3: ODST'' later in the year, these would change to the descriptions based on those seen in a 2015 Canon Fodder blog post.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-marching-on| | *As of the release of ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' on PC, the updated Elite armor sets reused descriptions from the [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]], [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec Ops]], and [[Sangheili Ranger|Ranger]] Elite armor sets seen in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', as a result of reused menu text.
