Do you know if they will have unlockable models? Of the little picture at the bottom there it seems that only 5 of the options they showed will really set the player apart during the heated action of the game.

Bungie doesn't really like having models with drastically different hit boxes. It affects gameplay balance. They have isolated Elite vs Spartan battles into a seperate mode. As for models within the same hitbox, I am not sure, I think they are going for a generic starting point and allowing the player to drastically alter the overall appearance of their character.

I understand that, and yet just altering is very weak. I know UT3 did the same where you could alter, and all alternations did not change models at all when it came time t play. The red humans, black humans, aliens, and robots all looked the exact same when it came down to it. Now in UT99, and even more in UT2004, there were dozens of different models and each was very discernable from the rest. Yeah a model would have one or two more skins, but in the end they were all very different. Remember Quake 3 nd he eyeball for instace? Things were just so much more interesting.

I dunno if they will use per pixel hit detection, but if they don't then they really should make a lot of differing models.
