I'm probably not the first one who thought about this but here's the idea, So, they keep the different armor permutations and everything BUT on top of each [i]base[/i] armor you could attach other pieces. Such as a different visor piece, ear area piece, mouth area piece, gauntlets etc. These pieced would be similar enough to maintain the same hit boxes. The pieces would have no affect on game play I.E. perks, power ups or powers. This would lead to a much more personalized, unique looking spartan rather than the bland old EVA verses the bland old Mark V. Complimenting this, each piece should have the option to be colored differently,(except in team games). I wouldn't go as far as having a camo-coloring option as this might add to much of an advantage in game play. There would be a few custom armor slots so you wouldn't have to rebuild your favorite armor combo after you changed it. Don't say this is a COD rip off either because the custom armor would have aesthetic effects only. What do you think? Also, about recon. I think they should make it obtainable by becoming a level 50 [b]OR[/b] something of the like. There would be a new, fresh permutation to take recon's old function which would be even more desirable. These would all basically be things that COD are lacking. Not that it's a big competition of features or anything but halo is a bit behind in the customization department and I think this is the solution. I'm not saying bungie won't have their own solution to this or are even concerned with this so no hateful comments. Me and nickkcin11 posted this idea around the same time. Here's his input. I think this is a really good idea. It was on a old thread that died a long time ago and I just want to revive the idea. If you could add little attachments to your armor, it would allow you to personalize the armor more. Here are some ideas of attachments. I'll update the list as you post more ideas.

Combat Knife- [url]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/2/2a/Grenadier_ %28Noble_Team%29.jpg[/url] On Boot or shoulder or hip. You should only be able to put on seven at a time, one for each section:leg, hip, torso, helmet, arm, neck, and the battle scars can go anywhere. You should have one default one for every section and unlock cooler ones from a related achievement. I.E. Optic Device for getting 500 sniper kills or 750 headshots career total. OR Battle scar for 500 career assists. It shouldnt be something completely unrelated like rucksack for highjacks. No add ons would affect the hitbox, think katana [Edited on 02.01.2010 8:09 PM PST]
