Kinda, yeah. Would look a bit like Ebony when black with white, perhaps red, highlights. :lol
Now there's a crossover I'd like to see. Unlock Daedric at the highest rank.

You can use your Spartan Swag to unlock more Spartan Popped Collars at the Spartan Store as long as you make sure there's a Spartan Sale going on.
Spartan.
Yeah. "Great" way to trim the fat and still use them. Hoping for sleek and simple skins in game.
This fully sums it up.

Not only do I think the idea of the retailer exclusive is is just abhorrent but the actual skins themselves are as bad as the idea.
With the exception of the bland BR skin, these skinslook like some wacky clown college Saturday morning kid's fodder crap. So tacky and tasteless.

So does the armor.

Come to think of it, I was never a huge fan of any of the customizable armor in either Halo 3 or Reach. I stuck with the Mark VI (default) in Halo 3 and didn't change it once. With Reach I unlocked the helmet I (kinda) like very early on and haven't changed it since.
That said, these armor configurations are a huge step below what Bungie put out for Halo 3 and Reach. Out of all the armor we've seen 343 put out (including the MC's armor), I like the default multiplayer armor the most because it's design is mostly safe if that makes any sense.

So Spartan IVs are the new kids on the block emerging from the shadow of the Master Chief. They don't want to be clones of an older generation. They want to be their own Spartans.

Megazord? No thanks, that'd be terrible for the framerate. [/kylej]

The helmet on the Venator armor looks like the helmets worn by the Forerunners in Halo Legends.
That's actually the armor ability tied to him. Everyone loses 5 frames per second when you appear.

I was too old to get on the Power Rangers bandwagon. I'd watch Battle of the Planets or the non-lion Voltron cartoons all day before I'd watch more than a minute of the Power Rangers.
Come at me, kids.
Come at me, kids.
These retailer exclusives are just the skins, right? Not the helmets/armor bullshit like Reach?
bahahahaha oh 343i you so crazy
Some of these helmets/torsos look cool if you picture them without the crazy paintjob, I wanna see more weapon skins!
Wtf at the armored slippers though, don't tell me that's the only footwear in the game.

Nah, I only said I like the option for this kind of customization, I personally like using a serious/simple default-ish look.

Held off my pre-order until this... now I don't know where to pre-order... I'm in Aus, so i'll probably go for EB Games. But I wanna be spiderman.
It gives me a Splinter Cell vibe. Since I hated Splinter Cell, that really does nothing for me, but your mileage may vary.

C'mon man, everybody loves Spider-Man!

Retailer exclusives are annoying, but as long as they are just cosmetic tweaks I will find a way to survive in this world.
I like the Amazon armor and skin more than the others, but not enough to say "I will use this in Halo 4". This stuff isn't aimed at us, but if it sells copies of Halo 4 it could end up growing the player base, so I can deal.
It is interesting to me that the other major retailers have polished art depicting their exclusives while Best Buy, a company that has been in decline for years, has a rough mock-up of their armor. Nobody has pointed out that the colors and/or design of the retailer armors are matched to the retailers which is why we are seeing a god awful blue and yellow paint scheme for Best Buy's armor.

So, skins are specific to weapons and armor... Kinda makes sense, but implies there are going to be stacks of them. It also make me think armor will be sets rather than right shoulder, left shoulder, helmet, etc. Hmmm...

Someone post that Frankie 'exit' gif. I need it.
not necessarily. even in reach, the armor pieces were designed as a set, but you could mix and match them.
also glad to see they went with skins, as the default pattern on the spartan IVs shown so far is kinda ugly.

dammit, that was much better than my response. Age loses again.

Pretty sure there's still armor sets of LR shoulder, helmet, and chest that can be mixed and matched and then you can put an armor skin (just a texture or pattern) over it.

Good luck to BS Angel and the Bulletin today. Trying to spin today's "news" is going to a tough sell.
