I will continue to post this statement every time the subject of Reach armor comes up in the forums even though no one ever asks and most people already understand that like in Halo 3, Halo 4 and the large majority of games in general, armor and skins are for aesthetics only and no one expects them to have an impact on game play.

This exactly! I love the tongue-in-cheek reply, but yes as you state none of the aforementioned armor variants do anything at all and are in fact exactly equal to the default pieces you start with at the recruit rank.

OP, I’ve seen a lot of posts lately about waypoint not functioning properly so I would strongly advise against wasting your time attempting to unlock those useless pieces. Your time is much better spent actually playing the game.

Surely the fact that I have put the time and effort in to access and use these items plus the fact that they are now locked is worth discussing. If you personally dont care about the customisation items then please dont bother wasting my time commenting here about how useless they are!

My only concerns are A) why are they now locked? and B) Is there a solution?

If you cannot help then do not comment

I did help by A. Telling you that waypoint hasn’t been functioning properly for a while now so don’t waste your time and B. Informing you that the armor doesn’t have any effects at all on your Reach experience. Whatever you currently have in the Armory is exactly the same as anything you’d go to the trouble to unlock.

It seems that nobody bothers to read the stickied threads that forum mods felt were important enough to permanently place in the first few spots on the opening page. If you check a few posts up you’ll see a thread on this exact topic. If you follow whatever that thread advises and it still doesnt work, then like I said waypoint isn’t working properly and you’re wasting your time...

I'm agreeing with you. But do you think 343 doesn't care about fixing the issue because it's bungie or do they just not care/have time for fixing little issues like these?

I feel like a lot of halo players like to play the game and achievement hunt to unlock the different armors that the regular joe doesn't car much about. I think its part of why they like to grind and the completionist in me and I'm sure in all of us, would at least be a little disappointed that our efforts of unlocking everything came down to a glitch that we couldn't control and that we will forever only have 99.99% of the game unlocked and completed. =/

Talk about torture....

I think it’s because they simply don’t care about maintaining and fixing these older games as there’s no monetary incentive to do so.

I am a completionist as well which is why I was one of the first handful of players to legitimately get to 100% commendation completion. As for the armory completion the various limited-edition and waypoint variants DO NOT count against your 100% completion so not only do they have no impact on gameplay itself they also won’t ruin your completion of the game. Trust me here, I personally wasted my time unlocking all of these when the game first came out thinking that surely some of the armor would do something - in particular the exclusive ones. What a disappointment when I realized they were all equally useless.

Edit - sorry mods, didn’t even realize I double posted.
