Halo 4 (Weapon Skins?)

[ActThree]

So, in the headline on halo waypoint, there was the news of the Halo 4 Limited Edition. One of those bits of news was that in the limited edition would give a download for an Assault Rifle weapon skin.

 

So, i think, that its not weapon camo like in CoD. But, in reality just different ways for your guns to look. The same gun. Just looking differnt. I.E. classic BR skin? And even with different color skins, like in gears 3, would make the game even more personal so to say. The "my Spartan and my weapon" meantality.

 

Thoughts?

[shado12 lol]

as long as it isn't camo I guess its ok (and i do use the losest term for I guess).

[Kurt S-501]

I'm fine with small changes to the gun, but not like CoD where there are golden guns and urban camo.

[Smokin Shadowz]

It would be fine with me to have effect or camos on the gun. Make everything about your Spartan and Weapon unique.

[Minuette]

If it had a 343 name on like the side of it, i'm fine and that would be cool, but It may just be a static skin

[Baby Boo]

It would be good. And cool. If, however, used properly.

[Tomakazi]

ehh...not liking the idea.

[ZanderX10]

Im all for giving the player the OPTION of completely personalizing their own spartan to their taste. If someone didn't want a skin it would be their choice to not use it but for people who like that kind of thing, by all means give more customaziation. Just don't make them extremely loud like tyedye. Bleh.

[Giofosho]

I think it would be neat that we can have similar weapon skins just like GOW3. It would be a nice customizable addition.

The only real caution I'd have towards this is that it might make weapons harder to recognise at a lance. If I look at someone now, I can tell immediately what weapon they have, which increases my chances of winning the fight as I know how to react to them (get in close if they have a DMR, back up if they have a Shotgun, start wondering where I'm going to spawn if they have a Fuel Rod Gun). However, if there are a lot of weapon skins it becomes harder to tell what weapon they're using, making battles unfair as I can't use the correct tactics through no fault of my own.

 

That said, provided the weapon silhouettes are varied - and immediately discernible from any range regardless of colour scheme - this wouldn't be such a problem.

I would have to say this makes since, i do this as well

[Victory Element]

im probably guna buy a limited edition so i'll get this skin thing. maybe it will just have the look of the reach AR

[ActThree]

What if the skins or look would be seperate from the color? A new design and a chooseable secondary color?

 

Just because its a different look for an AR doesnt neccessarily mean its not recognizable right? And my thought on colors just seems like a cool thought? Like a BR or DMR with a red etching on it?

[Wes Stone501]

As long as they have a different model not a different texture, It would be awesome to get the AR look from reach, halo 1 (the 10 year old model) and the make one that looks like the covenant added on to one to update it or one that looks like it came from the new mombasa swat team all black and says NMPD or SWAT on the side.

[Elite jbZzz]

that would be cool to be able to do that.

[rentless]

Like mentioned above, if it was like GOW3, and not all weapon camos like COD.

It would be way better.

[RoosterTeethFan]

theres no reason why not to have it.

[ActThree]

So, did you preorder your LE copy? Do you think there'll be a bonus for doing that?

[Red Death]

I'm fine with small changes to the gun, but not like CoD where there are golden guns and urban camo.

what he said

[DoctorB77]

Ya. No camo

[RoosterTeethFan]

I would like to know whats wrong with camos please.

[INACTIVE]

IMO weapon skins would be an awesome addition to Halo

[Wes Stone501]

It wouldn't bug me as long as they didn't over do it... I think they should just make skins that fit some where in the universe like my AR skin i described in my previous comment

[Undead]

​Nothing is wrong with adding weapon camouflages to the guns on Halo 4 as long as the camouflages aren't based off of Call of Duty's camouflages. I just think plain colors and patters would work just fine.

[Unease Peanut]

I would like colours but not all over the gun. Leave some spots the original colour like in gow3. But overall I hope the special camo is a legendary camo (with the legendary icon on it)
