HALO 3 will now allow you to equip your characters will tricked out helmets, shoulderpads, and more. Here are a few screen captures, but you really should check out the magazine:

Those helmets almost look scary.
I wonder if the different helmet have different hit-boxes. Maybe there is an advantage to having a smaller helmet?
Reminds me of the cover of Ghosts of Onyx. Is that SPI armor?
That is what I was wondering.
I was wondering if Halo 3 was going to incoroprate the spartan 3 program front the novel ghosts of Onyx in to the game. That would be neat to be able to customize your spartan but I think that if this was 100% true, Bungie.net would have said something by now.
Or they would keep silent to give GamePRO their exclusivity.
I think those new models, in term of game story are because humans got their hands on far advanced tech from the forerunners and the covenant. Which already was an explanation from the armor/weapon changes from halo 1 to 2. So that's probably why they look kind of "alien".
Awesome in my opinion
Frankie said in the weekly update that there were going to be a few surprises in this issue.
I just finished Ghosts of Onyx and I think having the SPI Armour in Halo 3 is an awesome tie-in.
The SPI armor will be in H3 and it will be usuable in the multiplayer. There are 4 different types of Spartan SPI armor models from what I am aware of (Intruder, Cobra, Ninja, Regulator) and 2 known covenant ones (Raptor and Predator). I'm not sure which armor is which, and we have only seen 2 of the 4 new armors and none of the covenant ones. However, the cool part is that one can customize any part of his armor to look as he wishes. From the helmet, arm plates, and chest pieces to his legs and feet, or at least that's what the info is saying.
Btw.. anyone really liking that Brute Chopper (vehicle being ridden on the first scan)? That thing looks like a beast. :D
Can't stay long, they're tracking me through the system. As far as I can tell, the spooks upstairs have made it so you can piece together your own set of armor from at least four different variants. The good ol' MJOLNIR, that new fangled SPI crap, and two variants that I've never seen before. They're being extremely hush hush about it all. Must not want our creepy crawly little friends to see their trump cards yet... No matter, with what these guys have gathered from out xenophobic neighbors, they're bound to be able to put up with whatever they throw at us. The covies probably have new stuff too... but it doesn't matter. This war'll be over soon enough... one way or another. As for me, I hope its one way... and not another. Got to go. I'd ramble on longer but...GHj563%^&*4FJFCFjfjedv... Grrr! Damn Oni AI! This is your little birdie "Whozzit" signing out.
i never got the chance to play the halo 3 beta but i saw that you couldnt play with the new sword. the new armor sounds really nice if you can create your own armor instead of everyone looking the same that would be realy cool i went to a halo website not halo3.com and it said that you would be able to customize your armor and another thing that is **** up is that they loward the swords energy to 50 and its the same powerfull as halo 2 but it does look cool though
----halo 3 multiplayer-
player1:(shoots a person on xbox live then procedes to *ahem* "Tea bag")
player1: ha ha noob
player2: ( flies a mongoose through a man connon only to be sot out by the sniper)
player1: ( sees an enourmous shadow) "what the he-" ( a scorpion tank lands on him)
player2: youve been "potato sacked!"
player3: ( rockts the tank)
player1: (drops a grav thing flies over player 3 and smacks him in the back of the head with a pistol...)
player4:(hides in corner with a sword that cant jump anymore and gets blown up by player 1 , 2 , and 3 )
good times ahead...
sorry, but that is actually the EVA (extra vihicular activity) armor. It is designed for, i think, better view of surroundings when in a vehicle.
I dont know. maybe it is SPI... if it is, then i will definitely get my hands on Halo 3... no matter what it takes. even though i dont even have an xbox rite now... lol
Correct, the spartan armor variant shown is not the SPI armor. It is indeed the E.V.A. variant instead. The two revealed armor variants as of yet are the aforementioned E.V.A. and the C.Q.B. types.
I heard that the sword is not only gonna be dropped and run on battery to stop sword whoring but they are also gonna make a delay in switching from sword to another weapon and armor cusomization is not only gonna be multiplayer. The sword is nothing compared to the gravity hammer. One of the skulls is going to be when u kill with a headshot confetti is going to pop out of the enemies head and the viva pinata song will start. There is also another weapon called spikey, the chopper is going to take a good pilot to fly. The chopper will also allow someone to ride turrett while another person drives. There will also be a missiler. It is so much better than the rocket launcher. It has the longest distance tracking you will ever know. Also the plasma pistol is the same strength but it will not track from as long of distances.
The range of a Tomahawk missile is 2500 kilometers, and I "know" it. Does the "missiler" have longer "distance tracking" than that?
No its not
the one with the full facial visor is the E.V.S(or mabye its E.V.A ???) and the other one is called the C.Q.C(i think) But there are gonna be plenty more trust me i know
