If you’ve played Halo 5, you’ve noticed something about the style. Perhaps you loved it, perhaps you hated it. Maybe you don’t like the way the incredibly futuristic looking new armor sets look and wish there could be some old-fashioned armor out into the mix.
That is exactly what I am proposing.
I am well aware that with this new game and era of Halo, 343 wants to show off their own creative flare. THAT IS FINE WITH ME. I like and even love some of the armor they’ve designed. And the way it is implemented and explained makes sense with the universe and canon. Obviously, through reverse engineering of alien technologies, humanity was bound to become more advanced and creative. My problem is that, even with all of this new armor we are seeing very little of the old.
I give 343 mad props. They didn’t have to give us Mk. IV, they didn’t have to give us Noble, and they certainly didn’t have to give us Mk. V (controversial, as it may look) in this next update. But they did anyways. And that is incredibly respectable and we love the throwbacks, for the most part. But I can’t help like they should just throw all the old classics in, or at least our favorites from Halo 3 and Reach.
Most notable favorites include:
EOD, CQB, Rogue, EVA, Emile’s EVA, Six’s helmet, and yes, Recon(z).
(Hayabusa would also be cool, but what most people don’t know is that it is currently impossible to reintroduce as the helmet was created for Halo 3 as a promo agreement between Bungie and the developers of Ninja Gaiden)
So yeah. What do you guys think? Should classic armor be reintroduced into Halo 5? I would certainly LOVE to be able to wear the OG Recon again, especially if they gave it like it’s own rarity and it was the last item you got from a Gold Pack, but that’s an entirely different discussion.
