a bit of news for ya heads!
-SPARTAN armor is unlocked by winning or finishing Matchmaking games, beating Campaign levels, playing Firefight, getting Commendations, completing Achievements, or by completing daily and weekly challenges, players will be able to earn "credits" (cR) which will allow them to purchase new armor
-elite armor customization does not cost additional cR, but requires the player to reach a certain rank
-Additionally, the Limited and Legendary Editions of Reach include exclusive armor permutations/effects for your player character. The Limited Edition comes with the "Sangheili Officer" Elite permutation, while the Legendary Edition includes the aforementioned permutation, along with a Spartan "Flaming Head" effect. A redeemable token that gives the player access to the Recon Helmet will be bundled with the game to all sales made on the release date, and with all pre-orders outside of the United States. However, if the player is equipped with the exclusive flaming helmet effect, the flames will be visible during gameplay but will not be shown in cinematics
-Spartan customization in Reach is increased from the four areas in Halo 3 and the Multiplayer Beta to ten areas in Reach. These areas are: Helmet, Left Shoulder, Right Shoulder, Chest, Knee Pads, Visor Color, Armor Effect, Utility, Wrist, and Firefight Voice.
-its also believed that you can choose where your knife will be in-game on your armor
-
here is a pic of all avaiable armor permutations known
-Halo: Reach features the Elite character models only in specific gametypes such as Invasion.
-Halo: Reach also grants players the ability to add various accessories to their armor, such as helmet cameras and bandoleers, which affect aesthetics only.
-Armor Effects are effects on your character model performed while either living or dead, depending on the one chosen. Two post-mortem Armor Effects icons have been released through Bungie's weekly update on 7.16.2010. They include a confetti explosion from your corpse, similiar to the Grunt Birthday Party skull from Halo 3. Also, an explosion of winged hearts appears to be included in the final game. Two other effects appear to take place when you are alive (whereas the other ones had skulls as backgrounds, these have normal helmets). These effects include what appears to be a stink cloud around your head and lightning bolts shooting out from the side of your head.
