There are only 4 (technically 5) Armor Effects in Halo: Reach.
There could be so many more AEs for Halo 4.
The game has about 9-11 months left until it’s released.
Let’s all suggest some armor effects for Halo 4 and hopefully 343i will take some of these into consideration and use them. While Halo 4 has been in development for years now, I’m pretty sure that 343i already thought of some of these and may be using them.
Armor Effects
Bubbles
Musical Notes
Sparks (similar to when bullets hit metal)
Goldfish bowl around the head
Flame around the entire body
Multiple colored flames
Rainbows
Armor
All Halo 3 Armor (yes including Hayabusa)
All Halo: Reach Armor
Mark IV from Halo Wars
Cole Protocol armor (most likely Mark IV B but that’s my suggestion)
Halo 2 ODST armor
Arbiter Armor

All ODST variants from Halo 3: ODST
