'''Armor customization ''' in ''[[Halo 4]]'' allows players to customize their [[SPARTAN-IV]] player model.

== Overview ==
== Overview ==
''Halo 4'' provides armor customization akin to previous ''Halo'' titles, featuring the ability to swap specific armor pieces on the player's Spartan-IV. The armor is based upon the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor <nowiki>[GEN2]</nowiki>]] model, with some variants being upgrades of previous generational incarnations. Customization slots remain mostly the same as the game's predecessor, ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', however, wrist and leg utilities are replaced with full wrist and leg armor customization, and [[armor effects]] don't make a return. The player can also customize their armor with specific skins, including camouflage patterns and other, more ostentatious designs.

As stated above, common armor sets can be unlocked by reaching certain a [[Rank (Halo 4)|Spartan Rank (SR)]], while rarer and more elaborate designs require the specific completion of commendations, Challenges, or Halo Waypoint goals.{{Ref/Reuse|customize}} The release of the [[Champions Bundle]] brought an additional four armor sets and one skin to use for players who purchased the DLC, though said armor will display as default Recruit armor in the game's ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' mode due to technical reasons.

In a first since ''[[Halo 2]]'' in 2004, ''Halo 4'' removes the player's option to use Elites in [[multiplayer]], as an emphasis was placed on "[[Infinity (mode)|''Infinity'' mode]]" which focuses on SPARTAN-IVs.<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1222537p1.html?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social '''IGN.com''': ''Spartan Ops and Infinity Change Halo 4 Multiplayer'']</ref>

On launch, ''Halo 4's'' port on ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' only allowed for limited armor customization, and the player was limited to choosing a full set of armor and colors, with no ability to swap specific armor pieces, armor skins, or visor colors, while the player was also locked to a red visor. Likewise, the [[Champions Bundle]] armor did not return, and wasn't available to use. This system was employed at launch due to the difficulty of having to run several game engines for customization in the menus.

This update was first alluded to in [[Series 3: Recon]], as a placeholder ''Unreal Engine 4'' render was added to the game's menu. With ''Halo 4''{{'}}s flight and update, full customization was restored to the player, including armor skins, and visor colors.

Xbox Live Guest accounts in the original [[Xbox 360]] release of ''Halo 4'' are able to customize their appearance with any and all armor pieces unlocked by their host. This differs from previous titles, in which guests could change their emblem, colors, service tag and gender, but could not customize their armor.
