Armor design for the next halo

I’m somewhat new to the forums, so I’m not sure if this has been brought up before, so dont hammer me with hate.

Although I’m a big fan of the armor design for Halo 4, I feel like the textures were a little too vanilla, as in, there was no battle damage. For example, in the campain master chief’s armor had scratches, claw marks, chipped paint, dents etc.
I’m hoping that in Halo 5, or Halo xboxone or whatever 343 eventually decides to call their new game, the armor designs will be a little more worn, and if you’d prefer the current design, it would be pretty cool if we were able to customize to what extent our armor was weathered.

What do you guys think?

I would like to see a more rough design. Also more cosmetic design beyond skins… Ammo pouches, knives, things like Reach.

For me, I felt like Reach touched on this idea the most. Reach’s armor design was gritty and dark. I like vibrant and sleek armor and would prefer to see more of that in the next installation of Halo. I wasn’t a big fan of a lot of the Halo 4 armor… i don’t like a lot of the helmets…

As long as I get to keep wearing the Recruit helmet, 343 can do whatever they want.

Gritty realism and attachments of Halo Reach, sleekness and variety of Halo 4.

^ This, with visual updates to popular classic armor sets like ODST, Recon, ect.

i hope chief finds some special forerunner armor!!! that would be cool since his mask from the trailer is cracked

Halo Reach style realism, colors, design and extra’s like pouches.
And Halo 4’s variety.

Most armor in H4 is Yoink so they should keep mostly with Reach armor designs.

Halo 3 Rouge armor. give it.

2nd most used armor at the time in a Halo Charts poll. give it to me…

I prefer Halo 3’s armor style (colors and “sleekness”), IMO Halo 4 armor looked bad visually and aesthetically, the under armor seemed to have bad/low textures and the armor just didn’t look right just like the helmets…

I’d love to see 343i take the idea round Reach’s Armor design, and improve it, give us the armor from the past games, and then some, give us variations, attachments, all of these cosmetic additions from skins, wear and tear, and damage.

I would love to make my spartan to look like a man who’s been to hell and back, and came back with some battle scars. And have my own colorations, something to show who I am, but with flair.
