I object to armory packs but I wouldn't mind new armour varieties being bundled with map packs - would incentivise their purchase and ensure more of the community buys them.
I'd be MORE than fine with this.
I'd pay for DLC helmets, chest pieces... don't really care about skins.
That's my preference as well (In that order).
Why would you pay for weapon and armor skins etc? Do you change your armor that often enough to justify paying for more? Once I got the armor I wanted in the previous two games I never bothered to change it. Had they released an armor pack that contained a nice looking piece for 230ms points would I pay that ammount to use one piece within that pack? No. They should set up challaneges or weekend events down the line to reward people with extra armor, but paying for it seems ridiculous.
A couple of reasons. For me, some of it comes down to fiction; as silly as it seems, when something like a new helmet gets added to the game, it's like a new piece of story (even if small) is added to the Halo Universe. I literally will flip through the armory in reach sometimes just perusing the little fiction blurbs that pop up for each armor piece. Don't even get me started on the armor pages in the
Essential Visual Guide. I eat. that. shit. up. Absolutely adore it. I also have a "canon" Noble Six that I use for campaign. (NOT Mk.V (B) - That's for Thom; I go Pilot sans the toupee - Sabre Program). But I like changing it around and "roleplaying" as different Spartan III's in MP/Firefight. Adds a bit of story to me to the happenings around Reach+. Again, maybe it seems absurd to some, but it's this kind of thing that I love; immersion into my favorite universe's fiction. The more robust the armory, the more robust the experience. Again, that's just me.
Also, more pieces means more for the creative community as a whole to work with. Screenshot artists, Machinima makers... the more they have to work with, the better.
Obviously, there's only so much that can be fit into a game at launch, so I'm totally okay with having them add to it along and along post-launch, and am more than happy to pay for the effort of their talented artists and team.
