'''Skins''' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' allow players to customize their [[SPARTAN programs|Spartan]] player model and the appearance of weapons and vehicles in-game. At the launch of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the armor was displayed as a static image in the game's menu. Following in the footsteps of the launch of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' for PC, ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' had its menu elements updated to fully render Spartan customization options in 3D in ''Unreal Engine 4''. The launch of [[Season 2: Spark]] on July 14, [[2020]], saw the addition of armour, weapon and vehicle skins for ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The armor customization of the original 2001 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' release originally only allowed for the player to change their Spartan's color via a player profile. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' would turn the color option into one that could be used regardless of a profile. During June 2020, in an update for the game dedicated to the impending PC release of ''[[Halo 3]]'' on ''The Master Chief Collection'', [[343 Industries]] revealed their intention to add the ability to change visor colors to ''Combat Evolved'', in an effort to grant players the ability to show off unique options in each game. These new visor options were stated to be added to Season 2 of ''The Master Chief Collection's'' [[season]] unlock system.
[[File:HCE BloodGulch Skins.jpg|thumb|250px|A Spartan utilizing a new, green visor in ''Combat Evolved'' in ''The Master Chief Collection''.]]
In its initial release, ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' did not include skins. These were retroactively added into its ''MCC'' port alongside a larger update that increased the number of customisation options for ''CE'', which released with [[Series 2: Spark]]. This update also included [[Armor customization (Halo: Combat Evolved)#Visors|visor colour customisation]] too. All of these new skins and visors were made permanently available via the then-newly added [[season]]al unlock system, which resembles a [[Wikipedia:Battle pass|battle pass]].


While visor colors can be changed, the change has been stated to not alter the player's [[Heads-up display]] color, and can also be toggled off via an option in the game's menu, for those wishing to keep the game as it was. The skins for weapons and vehicles apply to any weapon the player picks up - they retain their skin when dropped, but will switch to a new skin should another player take control of them.

Skins in Halo: Combat Evolved allow players to customize their Spartan player model and the appearance of weapons and vehicles in-game. At the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the armor of Combat Evolved was displayed as a static image in the game's menu. Following in the footsteps of the launch of Halo: Reach for PC, Halo: Combat Evolved had its menu elements updated to fully render Spartan customization options in 3D in Unreal Engine 4. The launch of Season 2: Spark saw the addition of weapon and vehicle skins for Halo: Combat Evolved, with Series 7: Elite adding additional vehicle skins.

Overview[edit]

An image of a Spartan in Combat Evolved with a green visor.
A Spartan utilizing a new, green visor in Combat Evolved in The Master Chief Collection.

In its initial release, Halo: Combat Evolved did not include skins. These were retroactively added into its MCC port alongside a larger update that increased the number of customisation options for CE, which released with Series 2: Spark. This update also included visor colour customisation too. All of these new skins and visors were made permanently available via the then-newly added seasonal unlock system, which resembles a battle pass.

These new skins can also be toggled off via an option in the game's menu, for those wishing to keep the game as it was. The skins for weapons and vehicles apply to any weapon the player picks up - they retain their skin when dropped, but will switch to a new skin should another player take control of them.

Trivia[edit]

  • The "Hot Rod" skin for the Warthog is the second instance in the Halo series in which a Warthog was given a flame-themed paint job, the first of which was the appearance of Fireball Warthog in Halo Wars.
  • The description of the "Woodland" skins is a reference to a Season 3 Episode 9 of Red vs. Blue, in which a Blue Zealot calls the act "a legitimate strategy" after being accused of camping.
  • The description of "Great Journey" skins is a direct quote from Sergeant Major Avery Johnson in the Epilogue of Halo 3: ODST, and refers to the common use of purple in Covenant design.
  • The description of the "Lucky Shot" skins is a direct quote from Cortana's narration in the Halo 3 level Arrival.
  • The description of the "Dear John" skin is a wordplay on the novel Halo: Glasslands.

  • The appearance of the "Rally Hog" Warthog skin is a homage to the distinctive blue and yellow liveries worn by cars run by the Subaru World Rally Team.
