    I've noticed that the armor has a camo "style" painting on it. You can see it along the side of the ODST helmet, shoulders, top of the for-arm, and very faintly on the chest piece. I wonder how that will work with choosing primary and seconday colors. It would be cool if there was an option for turning this on and off both in multiplayer and campaign.

    Perhaps you should think about that post for a moment.

    The Beta did contain quit a few extra armour variants but an altered menu and cR system which meant they remained hidden and locked.
    The Mark VI helmet was found in the Beta through mods and the occasional glitch, along with many other variants as well as female spartans.

    Although Bungie hasn't actually mentioned anything about it, I think its pretty safe to assume it will be unlockable in Reach, along with the ODST helmet (seen in the weekly update), possible EOD (seen in the mod) and maybe some other Halo 3 perms.

    Also, I noticed today that they Armoury holds more than just armour. Jun has sniper bullets instead of a shoulder pad and Emile has ammo strapped to his arm, unlike Jorge who just has extra armour strapped to his!

    Firefight Gameplay

    Towards the end of this video theres a player with a black visor. Maybe they were just trying to block something out, but it definately looked like a visor color choice.

    It's around the 6:40 mark.

    That actually looks kinda ugly. Maybe they are trying to block something out, or maybe it just looks really bad on that eva like helmet

    Its carter's helmet. After the credits part, they cycle through the players and he was the one modeled after Carter.

    I don't know, I think the black looks pretty awesome, maybe just not on that helmet.

    I personally thought that pink-and-white carter with a black visor looked hilarious.

    Guys and gals, there is no discussing this. If you read bungie.net friday announcments you would know that its already been confirmed. There are at least the default, blue, silver, and obviously black. So just discuss what colors would be sexy (like green and camouflage!)

    I only brought it up because it wasn't in the update and why would black be obvious? We've never had it in previous games.

    Well, black is obvious because it was in the most recent game footage that was posted here, and in several others. Also im assuming that we can have Emilios sexy face carvings as well, that would be sweet!

    face carvings would be an awesome addition to the armory. Maybe theyll let us put our emblems on as a carving?

    personally, id like to NOT have the face carvings or embedded emblems. It kinda ruins the uniqueness of Emile himself and I'd get extra sick of looking at it every three seconds.

    I agree with you totally. Everyone would ruin it with their own emblems and it would just be kind of annoying.

    Skimmed though thread so might misunderstand but yer visor color is confirmed.

    But I don't know if this is confirmed but In a screen shot on a random B.net thread I seen a "3" (with a thing around it exactly like a emblem on reach beta) on a Spartans right chest while assassinating a jackal.

    So I'm hoping that means we can Put our Halo Reach emblem on our Spartans(couldn't in beta) and choose where we want to put our decal.

    Shoulder/s,Back,Chest,Face?.

    No i know, Im talking about people wanting Emile's skull carving to be a custom option. I dont want cheesy things like that everywhere. It'd ruin it for me.

    I have a feeling Bungie employees will get, like, a transparent visor or something. Alternatively, make it cost 7,777,777 credits.

    Playing with Emile's skull head would suck. It would look like this
