Well there's no doubt then that they will. But I wonder if it will just be like how they should have done recon and just made it a very very difficult thing to unlock. Or if they're going to try awarding it to people again and risk having a recon mess again.
The "new tools" may mean that it's more than just a special helmet and chest plate. They probably have a handful of armor customizations specifically locked from public access. Instead, these will probably only be unlocked from special events (ie, Bungie vs the World). Having more than one set (ie, just the Recon) is better and allows those sets to not become so stagnant which was Recon's biggest problem. It also makes it harder for a meme to generate as there is no one-super-armor for someone to bitch "gimme <armor-name>!"
Their PI stuff sounds a lot like what we wanted to do with Cerebrum. Except we had specific military branches you could link associate yourself with 8)
I don't really care about recon-esque armor things, but i like the new system...
what im concerned botu is players all buying the "hyabusa" stuff, you know the stuff that makes them look "cool"
So? Laugh at them and kill them while you sprout your own blend of armor. Sure they're annoying, but hey, more fuel for the fire in your rampage to kill them I say vOv.
Ugh, Hayabusa. That is the mesh tank top of Halo fashion. I would hope that they wouldn't bring it back, but a side-effect of all this customization seems to be a complete lack of design standards.
while we're on the permutation subject, how many do you think will be availible n the beta?
We don't even know how many there are total (AFAIK there haven't been any posts on it anyway) so it would be kinda hard to guess :s
Probably none, so players will focus on gameplay instead of exploiting the system to buy teh reconz.
plus they would have complaints of credits carrying/not carrying over after beta
"I unlocked the 'super red ranger godzilla' armor and now I don't have it!"
or
"All the people that had the beta have x more armor pieces than me!"
wondering if people will be able to exploit social to rank up in creds
