''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' features a simplistic armor customization where one can play as each member of the squad having their own unique aesthetic Bungie-created armor. Players can choose primary and secondary armor colors, but the armor's main color remains the same (dark gray). Players can also choose whether or not to wear a helmet, unless they are playing as [[the Rookie]] or [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]], who cannot remove his helmet and cannot put one on, respectively. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not affect gameplay. Without a helmet, the player still has the same health and stamina, and they can still use [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] mode. Each character has their own unique lines of dialogue which play during gameplay, similar to the [[Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|Firefight voices]] added in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' as an unlockable item.
'''Armor customization''' in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' allows players to customize the member of the [[Alpha-Nine]] that they choose to play as, with each having their own unique aesthetic in the game's [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] mode.  


==Overview==
With the launch of ''Halo 3: ODST'' on PC and the start of [[Season 3: Recon]] in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the ''ODST'' characters were added to the game's customisation system due to the launch of [[Firefight]] as part of the collection. The various characters were added to the [[season]] unlock table and can be purchased for {{SeasonPoint|Season Points}}. ''The Master Chief Collection'' additionally features two skins not available in the base game; the injured Romeo model (as seen following the level [[NMPD HQ]] in-game) and a "bug-splattered" Buck, seen in [[Data Hive]] and [[Coastal Highway]]. The game also features Sergeant Johnson as purchasable for all players, previously restricted to a pre-order exclusive in the original game. Additionally, ''The Master Chief Collection'' features the helmet-less edition of each character as a separate unlock to their helmeted incarnation, unlike the original release which only had the helmet-on option as a toggle that was available at any time.
On ''Halo 3: ODST's'' launch, players could choose one of the members of Alpha-Nine, and their primary and secondary armor colors, with the armor's main color remaining the same. Players could also choose whether or not to wear a helmet, unless they were playing as [[Jonathan Doherty|the Rookie]] or [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]], who cannot remove his helmet and cannot put one on, respectively. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not affect gameplay. Without a helmet, the player still has the same health and stamina, and they can still use [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] mode.

'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' This Trooper recently transferred from the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], part of a Rapid Offensive Picket that suffered near-annihilation at [[New Jerusalem]], [[Cygnus]]. Like most ODSTs, his actions speak louder than words.<br/>'''''MCC:''''' The strong, silent type.
|title2=Mickey
|content2=
'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' Despite limited formal education, Mickey scored high enough on his conscription exams to qualify for flight school. But heavy air-unit losses ([[Pelican]]s especially) left Mickey without a bird to fly. His current operational speciality is bomb disposal.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmetless):''' I know, I have beautiful eyes.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmeted):''' Killing the Covenant in the face is my favorite pastime.
|title3=Dutch
|content3=
'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' A man of strong convictions, Dutch volunteered in time to participate in the [[Battle for Tribute|failed defense]] of [[Tribute]]. The fleet covering the colony's evacuation suffered losses exceeding 90%, a sacrifice that gave Dutch abiding respect for his [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] brothers.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmetless):''' I didn't train to be a pilot.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmeted):''' Relax, what could go wrong?
|title4=Romeo
|content4=
'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' In his old unit Romeo racked-up multiple code of conduct violations, any one of which should have resulted in demotion -- or worse.

|title5=Buck
|content5=
'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' Counting time spent in [[Cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]], Buck is a 25 year veteran of the war. He participated in the [[First Battle of Harvest|liberation]] of [[Harvest]] but also the [[fall of Reach]]. Watching so many [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] die has left Buck thick-skinned and short-fused. But this wasn't always so.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmetless):''' 188 centimeters of smoldering handsomeness.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmeted):''' When the helmet is on, the party is on.
|title6=Johnson

'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' [[Avery Johnson]] was born on [[Earth]] in the late [[:Category:25th century|25th century]]. Since then, he's kicked all kinds of ass from one end of [[Milky Way|the galaxy]] to the next. He enjoys sniping, smoking [[Sweet William cigars]] and obliterating ancient, [[Halo Array|ring-shaped artifacts]].<br/>'''''MCC:''''' I know what the ladies like.
|title7=Dare
|content7=
'''''Halo 3: ODST:''''' Most of her dossier is classified, but Dare is a known Naval Academy Graduate amd former Intel Officer on the heavy frigate''[sic]'' '[[UNSC Say My Name|Say My Name]]', one of two ships from the [[Harvest campaign]] still in service. Dare is now assigned to [[ONI Section One]].<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmetless):''' We have a mission to accomplish, let's get to it.<br/>'''''MCC'' (helmeted):''' Working with ONI demands a certain level of anonimity.

==Production notes==
*The option of tertiary colors are not present. This is because the ODST character models make use of the tertiary color slot for the character's skin color.
*Dare's character model is built off of the female marines, resulting in her playable character variant being an entirely seperate entity/biped (in engine terms) from the male ODSTs. Additionally, a strange oversight also makes Dare the only playable character in ''ODST'' who does not ragdoll upon death.
