I_Make_Big_Boom Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) As the title says, a screenshot of Elite Armor from Halo 2: Anniversary has been revealed (seemingly from PAX, and courtesy of Halo4Nation). One of the variants closely resembles the classic Elite Armor seen in the older games (like CE, 2, and Halo Wars) and the other two (from my knowledge) are unknown variants. Also above the 3 sets (which I'm guessing there will be more) is the regular Armor Option, what seems to be a "Armor Type" option (for either Spartan or Elite races), and finally the Player Colors. UPDATE: Another Elite Armor screenshot has been revealed on Halo4Nation. It has been confirmed on numerous occasions that armor unlocked from previous games, along all other unlocks (including Ranks) WILL NOT carry over into the Master Chief Collection. It's a clean slate of course. Well... that's it. End of the show, thanks for watching, and all that. - - - - - Thoughts?

Drizzy_Dan Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 TeamBeyond or BeyondEntertainment actually works with 343i from time to time so it's not surprising they got to play the game at PAX. Exceptional find Self Destruct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockGazm Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 All of a sudden I'm wet with joy. Nice find by the way, as for "thoughts" I don't have much to say other than it's nice to see elites back in action! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marbles Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm glad to see the elites in multiplayer again! I love the most of their armor too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinWarrior Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm wet with joy. But great find SD! I'm gonna guess these are modeled after Halo Reach armors as they look awfully similar. The first is a Minor, the second is a Ranger, and the third looks like a General. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guts Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Its great to see the Elites back and with new armour too. I don't think many people will be happy over not being able to keep your rank. Nice article Destruct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow that looks cool! Are those new armors or just graphically updated? Either way, great find SD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Make_Big_Boom Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow that looks cool! Are those new armors or just graphically updated? Either way, great find SD! The Armor I believe to be restricted to the H2A engine, which is a heavily modified original H2 engine. Technically this armor is new: like the new elements, audio/graphics etc that H2A contains. But I also attribute the armor sets to just aesthetic updates to the original Player Customization of Halo 2. It seems that individual armor pieces are not an option, and a single option consists of a whole armor system. Halo 2 had a system where armor could not be changed. Spartans had default MK6 while Elites had regular Recruit Armor, as well as the custom colors. Whether or not this is actually the case is speculation on my part, and I'm sure we'll find out more in the time before MCC is released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwingz Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I don't know what everyone is saying cuz they look kinda bad, but lets all hope you can Customize them and not like how Halo Reach did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember they aren't final. Most likely they are place holders. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to customize colors on them like back in Halo 2 anyway.
