Honestly, I think the new armor looks way too weird and futuristic. Over-angular, too. It just looks plastic and ugly. I absolutely loved Reach armor, It looked practical, military, and badass all around. The armor made Spartans look like walking tanks/battle-hardened commandos, while Halo 4/5's makes the spartans seem like flamboyantly gay Power Ranger space explorers from a children's cartoon. The only benefit is that the color fits, and even that takes away the badass look of the armor and makes it just look individualistic. It's a damn shame that the gay armor is going to be in Halo 5 (and probably 6) too, and there's nothing we can do about it.

-
Yeah the new armor is pretty nasty and they all have a lot of similarity. There's not much variety in their designs to make them unique to each other. I sported the Recon helm in 4 and it wasn't bad, but others....I mean look at that shit.

Edited by Kafuu Chino: 7/16/2015 6:22:03 AMDidn't care for Halo 4's armor that much. I know humanity is learning shit from Forerunner shit and making impressive technological advancements, but the Spartan armor doesn't have to look like a Gundam. Halo 5 is a step in the right direction. The body suits look better, and the armor sets look good.

Complete and utter sh*t I miss my halo reach CQB helmet
-
I just want a robot arm
-
It fits the Spartan IVs quite nicely I think. IVs aren't the kinds of killers that IIs and IIIs were. I think it's only fitting that they should seem a little more polished and neat, instead of dark and gritty like past Spartans.
-
I thought 4s armor was kind of stupid, but 5s armor is a definite improvement and I think it looks cool
-
I think some sets where great whereas some looked alien
-
It's ass.
-
I think it's fitting for what humanity is becoming. The mantle has been passed to us, and it's time we look the part of crazy ass space gods, just like the forerunners.

Halo 3 did armor the beat, design and methods of unlocking wise
-
I love the new armor. It looks more like a super suit than the previous games. Halo 1-3 made Master Chief look like a walking brick imo.
-
Halo 4s armor is one word [spoiler]Plastic[/spoiler]
-
Yes, yes, 1000 times yes!
-
100% agree. I liked the GEN I armor way better, even if the GEN II has canonically better performance.

I don't like the new armors. Halo reach was the best for sure
-
Halo 4 had some awful armor to be sure, but I didn't like how clunky Reach's armor looked either. Halo 5 is looking pretty good so far and Helioskrill is absolutely God teir.
-
Ill always miss Reach armor, it was just terrible to look at in 4.
-
I will say first that the player models in halo 4 were much nicer, so any armor that did look good fit better than in 3 and reach (where a lot of things were very bulky). Overall the armor in halo 4.... Was just hideous. Especially the helmets, I could count about 5 decent ones and only 2 or 3 good ones (2 of which were locked behind DLC). They went far too alien and impractical with most of them. I haven't seen any of the halo 5 armor yet, but I certainly hope it looks more realistic and not just some "we threw a bunch of junk together" helmets. And they better have Mark V and ODST in there from the start this time.
-
No.... Thats all i say about the new armour, i feel like all im going to be wearing in halo 5 is the good old mark 6 armor or recon... Idk its horible
-
Pretty shit tier
-
-
It's funny how you said it's to futuristic looking in a game that is literally based 500 in the future
-
Halo Reach got the armor perfectly.
-
much better than the stuff in other games sure there are a lot of bad sets but there were a lot of good ones as well halo reach had no good armor at all
