Hello, I am GreatfulGert.
I wanted to ask about this armor here. It’s from one of the promotional photos for Halo 5 (if I’m not mistaken).
I was wondering what armour this is, what is it’s closest in-game relative, etc.
I really like the armor (and that awesome Snake Skin on it). Wondering why it was not put in the game in some way.
Later.
The image itself looks like concept art and digitally painted. Feels like it was a pitch idea or digital art by the company’s artist before/during Halo 5’s development.
Though I do agree; that helmet looks pretty cool and so does that snake/dragon skin. Looking at all the helmets in Halo 5, it looks similar to Hunter, Centurion, or Technician by looking at the visors. Other than Halo 5, it looks exactly like the Rogue Helmet from Halo 3 (not Halo 4).

It does look like rogue!
the armor looks as if it’s an early concept of the athalon armor variant, the chest and arms are exactly the same, only difference is the helmet and shoulders wich look like fotus and a halo 3 rogue variant.
What I find more interresting,is the floating piece above the BR,it looks like an early concept of the Forrunner sight.But,if it appears in the Concept Art,why wasnt it in the gamw at launch?
Lack of time?

Could be a number of reasons, it’s likely a lot of the DLC content was concepted early on and just implemented at a later date, there is a big jump between concept art and working in game assets.

More filler content.
@OP the armor in the photo would be a remarkable improvement in variation for current armors instead of giving us the same armor pieces with just different line patterns. Seriously I think there are like 15 EVA variants with little difference except the OG and the new design.

Including the Gen 1 and Wrath versions there are 8 variants of EVA not 15.
Pretty sure that armour is just Athlon with a dragon skin on it.

Yeah but I mean it would be a nice variant for all other armors instead of the current variants just having a few extra lines somewhere.
In my opinion it looks stupid and im glad it wasn’t implemented it looks more like a tattoo than an armour piece.

I’m still salty that we never got GRD
