I know there has probably already been multiple threas about this but I would like to see some more support on the return of armor effects so possibly 343 brings them back into Halo 5 Guardians.
I for one am a huge fan of armor effects, and I would like to see their return, especially all the old ones and new ones and lots of them.
I felt that aside from your armor that armor effects really showed off your unique spartan and the hard work and effort you put into the game to getting that effect.
In Halo reach you would only get about 2000 or 3000 cR a game and if you didnt do weekly and daily challenges then getting 2000000 cR for inclement weather would take time and effort.
I really felt like I worked hard for my armor effects even though most Halo reach players have all of them by now. I would really love to see their return 343.
What do you, the community think and what armor effects would you want to see come into the game.
I for one want my beautiful inclement weather back I loved having that on.
While I thought armour effects were cool, I really disliked grunt birthday party, it was too easy to get so everyone was running around making a lot of “Hooray” noises which eventually got on my nerves. I think it would be pretty cool for the ones like Heart attack and Inclement weather to return provided there’s a credit system like reach’s

Agreed, Grunt Birthday party is just overly silly. Maybe if they removed the noise and just kept the confetti?
I would really like to see Inclement Weather return along with Pestilence. Heart Attack not so much. I’d love to see the concept return, its high up on my wish list.
I’d like them to return, but I’d also like there to be an option for players that don’t like them, allowing them to disable seeing the effect if they don’t want to.
I never really used the armor effcts, but I’m not against them coming back. But the Grunt birthday party one shouldn’t have the noise.
Inclement Weather made it easier to find campers haha.
I loved the “pop” sound of the Grunt Birthday Party one, but I think it should be only triggered if you get a headshot, like in the campaign.
It would be cool if they added some Forerunner effects, like the incineration.
I mean, they were okay. I’m not pushing for there return in Halo 5 but if they do, I won’t be upset over it. It isn’t game breaking in any way, I just thought they were a little goofy. For those who enjoyed them, I will say, it gave you something to work towards.
I think it would be pretty cool if they return. I still son’t have enough CR to unlock Inclement Weather.
I liked Armor effects, although there were times when Grunt Birthday annoyed me, I don’t know what I’d do without it. (Even though I have been using I-Weather for years.)
Just make Grunt Birthday harder to obtain (please not a credit system, use cheevos or something else creative), and that should solve the overuse.
I want my heart attack back! It lets my enemy know that even though they killed me, I still love them.
Eh, I wouldn’t care either way.
Sure, armor effects are fun. I’m the only one who likes the Birthday Party one I guess. I enjoy a game of killing cushioned by happy little shouts of joy. On the contrary, I still get mixed up with who’s stuck with a plasma grenade and who’s wearing inclement weather. 
Bring them back and have some new ones.
And keep GBP. I love the “hooray!” and confetti when I died.
Armor effects were cool and all, but really affected stealth capabilities. It is very hard to get stealthy assassinations when your target sees a lightning cloud along the corner you are waiting in. But overall, I liked them, and I want to see them return.

Easily the best reasoning I’ve seen for anything on this forum in a long time right there =L
~ Duck.
I’d like to see them return in some way.

That’s your loss for using them. I don’t think I’ve ever ran into that sort of situation and if I have, it’s because the enemy saw my Spartan, not the effect itself.
Armour Effects were a great way to spend your cR in Reach and I was pretty upset they didn’t return in Halo 4 apart from Fiesta for a small amount of time (although with the whole MP canon stuff, it made sense).
They were unreasonably priced, much like a lot of the shoulder armor.
As long as there’s a way to disable them so you don’t have to see them if you don’t want to. They could get annoying after awhile.

That’s what made them so good, you had to play for a long time to get it.
