Acchiles and helioskrill are probably two of the most liked (and some would say over rated) armour in halo 5,but just for the sake of looking cool,which is better?
I use the Achilles helmet with Helioskrill armor. It’s a good look.
If 343 hadn’t added helioskrill into the req system and they had left it as you having to beat all 4 of the previous halo games on legendary on the mcc, then I would prefer the helioskrill. But since you can get it from req packs now, I prefer achilles considering the company I got achilles with was very casual and never farmed, at least as far as I know. I never went and earned helioskrill because I found out that you can just get it from packs.
Definitely the Achilles helmet with anything but the Helioskrill. Sorry MATADOR Inc, it’s never been a favorite of mine. In fact I think I have only worn it once. If and when I do wear the Achilles helmet I wear it with the Challenger armor.

Everyone has different tastes. 
I use to wear the Achilles chest piece and the Heliskrill helmet. Now I wear full Helioskrill.
I think Achilles looks marginally better. It seems to fit in a little better with the already existing armors in Halo 5 than Helioskrill does.
Well what is your definition of cool? Is it purely looks or is it what each represents? Strictly going by looks it’s really a coin toss to me. They both have a kinda cool unique look. Going by what they represent I say Helioskrill. Even though 343 was lame enough to put it in the req system there still is a slight chance it was actually earned. Achilles isn’t really earned, a player could potentially get it and not even done anything besides join a Spartan company. So in conclusion Helioskrill is slightly “cooler” then Achilles.
Either way, they’re apparently both are Nooby helmets. Trypal says so in one of his videos
I don’t like either of them that much honestly.
In my opinion, I think everyone should wear Mark IV GEN1 and that should be the end of it.
500 less armors, more work can be put into other aspects.

Before they put Helioskrill in the req system the only way to get it was to beat the campaigns in MCC on legendary and no “cheat” skulls. There is nothing “nooby” about that.
Neither their both hideous. I was so disappointed when halo 5 launched to see that was the armor I got for besting the MCC campaigns on legendary. And for Achilles eh just doesn’t do it for me it’s overated I don’t think I’ve put my set on ever.
But if I had to choose between the two?
Probably Helio just because Achilles is extremely overated

I agree with you I don’t see how it is noob? But let’s be honest there’s nothing hard about beating the campaigns on legendary it’s a breeze for the most part except certain parts in halo 2. It was fun doing them too but I refuse to wear the armor
Achilles all the way. I had Helioskrill at launch so as far as I’m concerned that’s just the Recruit armor 2.0.
I’ll say Helioskrill because of the backstory and, overall, design (of course). I really, REALLY think Achilles is extremely over-rated.
They are both highly overrated. Helioskrill is ok if you want your Spartan to look like an Elite, but Elites are ugly, so Helioskrill armor is ugly. Without considering how they are unlocked, I’m going to have to say Achilles looks better, strictly in terms of aesthetics. But again, people seem to like it so much simply because it’s the only earnable armor in Halo 5. And I don’t even know why Helioskrill is so popular. I could understand its popularity if it wasn’t in the req pool, but most people wearing it probably got it in a gold pack instead of from playing MCC. I’m sorry but it’s ugly.
Honestly it gets kind of boring looking at other people’s Spartans and seeing the higher ranked people wearing almost nothing but some combination of Achilles, Helioskrill, and Mark helmets. Have some originality, people!

And, because the new Elites are ugly, so is the armor or is it your opinion?
I like Helioskrill myself, but my armor (would) be Mark VI and Vigilant Watcher with a golden visor closest to Halo 3’s. Not really sure which is the closest.

What do you mean? Elites were always ugly.

… uh… That’s… an unpopular opinion. And I mean EXTREMELY unpopular opinion… I’m surprised.

Anyway, that’s my opinion. Helioskrill does a good job of capturing that Elite look, which is exactly why I’m not a fan of it. I’d rather be a Spartan than a goofy-looking alien ¯_(ツ)_/¯
