Anyone want new/old marines for halo 5?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

In Halo 4 we got to see some new marines on the infinity. I personally really like the new design but it just seemed a little bit off. The color pattern on the main infantry with the white,red and green just didn’t mix well for me. The other infantry with the green and red was awesome. As much as i like the new halo 4 marines the Halo 3/2 (They’re supposed to be the same) are my favorite and i would like to see them return. It could be done easily without ruining the canon. What do you guys think?

It shouldn’t be to hard for 343 to add the old marines. Just say that the marines on the infinity had their own BDU and it’s not standard issue. I’d like to add that Locke in nightfall looks like he is wearing Halo Reach armor with the chestplate. So the reach marines could make a comeback.

Also in Spartan Assault it features Halo 3 and Reach marines in the game and artwork and that takes place after the new marine gear comes out so i have my finers crosses

This please.

definitely not.
i’m playing CE right now again & i had already forgot how dumb those human unggoy were then.
their design isn’t also not “future-ish” enough, IMO.

Halo reach counts as the CE since the updated version is from reach (Even though they’re army troopers).

Can we please bring back the armor designs from reach?
The detail was impressive, and the looks were badass. Really look like soldiers.
H4 looked like paintball gear. Also, little variation in armor designs.

I’d love to see more of Reach’s armor design.

Halo 4’s marine armor looked like they were either cosplaying Ghost from Call of Duty or were supposed to be behind a baseball plate.

Halo Reach had better armor designs.

In my opinion Reach has some of the best armor design. Spartans, Elites (character wise because some of the armor was cheesy), and Marines.

Seriously what was with that Elite armor that had a Rhino horn on it?

This pretty much says everything.

Exoskeletons.

I love the halo Reach BDUs and a little bit of the halo 4 Marine BDUs. I would love a combination of the both and an exoskeleton on top of it.

It would be beautiful.

Wasn’t it also ceremonial armor

Halo Wars marines? Anyone? For me they had the best design.

THIS IS THE GREATEST AND TRUEST STATEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF HALO.

I found the black variants that were seen on Composer awesome.

Stop spamming. Opinion isn’t fact.

The Special Ops BDU looks stealthy, but I’d like a combination of Reach’s and 4’s armor.

Where am I spamming?

And also, where the hell do I imply that opinion is fact . . . ?

As someone else posted on here I would like a design most similar to the marine found in the halo wars cinematics. Best design by far imo

I posted about the Marines in another thread a few days ago, so I’ll just copy and paste it here.

> I would choose any Marine design that wasn’t the Halo 4 design, even the scrap metal looks of the orignal CE marines. The Halo 4 marine, with the oversized, Spaceballs-like helmet, and the modern day, Velcro covered vest I thought were an absolute eye sore. Even the ones that had a chest plate, just had it stuck on to the Velcro, there was nothing else to it.

> The vest really bugs me though. It is like someone did a Google Image search for “military armor” or more specifically “future military body armor” (go ahead, you can try it) and saw the several images of modern day soldiers with those vest and thought it was the best idea for a soldier over 500 years in the future. [example 1], [example 2], [example 3, this one even has a ridiculous large looking helmet as well]. It makes me feel that not a lot of heart went into the design.

> If I had a choice in design, I’d prefer if they went with the Halo Wars design. It looks like the plating could take a beating but not be overly cumbersome when moving around. The custom touches on Forge’s armor are pretty great as well. My second choice would be the Halo: Reach design, or similar enough the Halo CEA design. While more cumbersome looking than the original CE-3 and Wars designs, it is more fitting in the vein of design 343 seemed to be going for in Halo 4. There are also all of these variations including different race, gender, and equipment variation, and didn’t look like generic clones like the Halo 4 marines.

The halo wars marines looks alot like the halo 3 marines but with more armor. Here’s a comparison picture of the marines throughout halo UNSC Marine Corps/Gameplay | Halo Alpha | Fandom

I couldn’t find a good pic of the halo wars marine.

Oh yaaaa I almost forgot about the Halo Wars marines. I think that the Halo Wars and Reach marines looked pretty sweet.
