Hell yeah. I can't wait to see what they will come up for the DirectX version of the program. It would be cool if they could make the character have idle animations like in Halo 2 (Halo 3 and Reach may also have them, but I haven't customized a character in either game so I'm not sure) when customizing your character and have the ability to rotate the character. Something else that I'd really like to see done would be to swap out weapons. I was surprised when I discovered that the program didn't have that options. Then again, these things all take time to do.

Damn, that's a fine program they have right there. Would've liked to have seen some of the helmet options up there, but eh.
My guy, once all is said and done:

All I want is that damned helmet.

Old School....nothing else.

My only problem with the Mk. V shoulders is that they stick so damn far off the arm... they just look awkward in Reach, really.

But yeah, this app is great considering I haven't really gotten a chance to see how my armor ideas would look all together, only one piece at a time. Just drives me even more insane that I'm stuck inching forward rank-wise, Lt. Colonel still seems like an eternity away.

IMO, the only pads which don't look absolutely out-of-place (and awkward) are the Multi-threat pads

The Recon and Hazop pads are also fairly inoffensive, if I recall correctly.

E: This is what I like to call the "modernized Mk. V." Looks as close to the original Mk. V as I can make it without retarded pads and including something resembling the pouches present in the first game.

They have pouches. Why does no one trying to recreate the H1 look use the pouches? I'm not going to bother doing it myself given how atrocious the Mk V items look. It's like they were openly mocking the old armor with that stuff.

I don't really take pride in my armor. It's just as un-crappy as I could get it while still being somewhat unique. I did get an unsolicited compliment on it one time by some random Halo fashionista. I should have asked him if my choice of utility made my thighs look slim. Damn. Missed opportunity.

I installed this just to check the names of some of my gear. The image of the spartan looks like a Picasso painting to me. All the various images of each part are in the wrong spots and/or the wrong relative size.

hot dang that's a small gun compared to the spartan.

Well, it's either tiny guns on spartans or hilariously huge MA5Bs on marines like in halo 1
