| |
| '''Armor Permutations''' are a feature in [[Halo 3]] and [[Halo 3: ODST]], letting the player to aesthetically customize their [[multiplayer]] character's armor. However, the armor you wear doesn't have any effect on gameplay; they are only cosmetic changes. This feature allows players to change their helmet, shoulders, and torso armor worn by their multiplayer avatar. They also have the option of making their armor classification either "[[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]]" or "[[Sangheili|Elite]]" In Halo 3.
| |

| [[File:Nohelmet.jpg|thumb|right|Choosing not to wear a helmet will not effect gameplay.]]
| |
| | |
| ''Halo 3: ODST'' features armor customization, though not as complex as in ''Halo 3''. One can play as any member of [[Unnamed Shock Trooper Squad|The Squad]], each member of the squad having their own unique armor. Players can also choose not to wear a helmet unless they are using the Rookie character model, it may be that Bungie didn't make a face for The Rookie like the [[John-117|Chief]] who also wasn't made a face by Bungie. Choosing not to wear a helmet does not effect game play. Without a helmet the player still has the same health and stamina and they can still use [[VISR]] mode.
| |
| | |
| People who pre-ordered ''Halo 3: ODST ''can play as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]].
| |
| | |
| ===Characters===
| |
| | |
| *'''[[The Rookie|Rookie]]''': Unlocked by default.
| |
| *'''[[Veronica|Dare]]''': Complete the [[Campaign Mode #Halo 3: ODST Campaign levels|Campaign]] on [[Legendary]].
| |
| *'''[[Edward Buck|Buck]]''': Unlock the [[Tayari Plaza (Achievement)|Tayari Plaza]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]''': Unlock the [[Uplift Reserve (Achievement)|Uplift Reserve]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]''': Unlock the [[NMPD HQ (Achievement)|NMPD HQ]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Michael Crespo|Mickey]]''': Unlock the [[Kizingo Boulevard (Achievement)|Kizingo Boulevard]] Achievement.
| |
| *'''[[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]]''': Came with Pre-order of [[Halo 3: ODST]].
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation, but it was taken out before ''Halo 3's'' release. Bungie, however, did not explain why.
| |
| *The neck of an Elite (regardless what armor permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol]]. In addition, the projectile will simply pass through the neck, as though the neck wasn't there, without even a blood spatter. This is because both Elites and Spartans share the same hitbox (i.e. where you can hit the character), but have different models.
| |
| *Each Elite also has a modified neck, whether sleek black, or a different model such as scale-like plating at the back.
| |
| *Bungie has no plans to release armor permutations for downloadable content for Halo 3, although the fact Sgt. Johnson is on XBL DLC has many fans to believe that Halo 3: ODST may have DLC for armor.
