Armor of our forefathers

Halo is taking a new turn, and we change the way we play every new game.(The way a NEW game should be. NEW too EVERYBODY. Even the “true fans” or pros.)

We shouldn’t forget about where the first Halo game started. In the Pillar of Autumn, in a cryo tube, inside a set of MJOLNIR Mark V Powered assault armor.

Now, I could give you a whole run through, but the real reason I am creating this thread is because there are very few (if any) traces of the old Armor/good armor in Halo 4.

While some of the new armor is okay, and kind of has a practical or classic look too it. The majority of it looks like some anime-ninja-samurai-pointy-Japanese-cartoon armor.

I’d like us to actually collaborate and innovate as a community for AT LEAST one thread that doesn’t die in an instant.

In this thread: What Armor do you think should make a return in Halo 4, if not 4, 5?

> My list: MJOLNIR Mark V, Security shoulders/helmet (Halo 3 preferably), Classic Recon Armor (No ‘Stan Smith’ chin), Classic EOD/EVA/CQB variants (Halo 4’s current ones aren’t that bad, but a return of the classics would be neat too see), Classic Rogue (Halo 3), and I think last on my list is HAZOP from Reach. HAZOP in Halo 4 is just… Ugly…

Please, discuss, and add in your list of armor you want to see in Halo 4 (or 5).

Armor that has a visor that a person could actually look through.

I concur. I want too look like a bad–Yoink- in a suit of armor. Not a robot with a few light brights for eyes.

commando
they completely butchered it in halo 4

I would love to see the pilot helmet again.

Hayabusa anyone? :wink: myabe not the best armor, but seeing it sure does bring me back to the glory days.

Reach armor and I mean all of it looked awesome.Therea are quite a few I like in 4 too.Infiltrator mmm drool!.

ODST!

I have to say that armor promoted the asymmetrical look that was made popular in Halo 3 (different shoulder pieces for that time, and Reach’s designs capitalized off of that by having even a few of Noble Team have asymmetrical armor sets.).

Mark V helmet please. Also, the Halo 3 rogue helmet was pretty sweet as well as the Reach undead pilot helmet. FOTUS and Venator should definitely make a comeback in Halo 5 too IMO.

Agreed. Much better than the raider imo. They should bring the sword back too haha

I miss the days you could have things hang off the side of your helmet and different sized shoulder pads even though I preferred the smaller 1,s.

Especialy fotus,that thing is awesome.The dead space special isnt too bad either.

ODST, Hayabusa, i use to love more the Gungnir of reach than halo 4

also it sucks that i cannot change the visor color of the Venator

and actually a ‘‘real black color’’ not just ‘‘steel’’

This. Having an actual circular colour palette we can edit for our armor would be great, as it would be even more unique.

I would love CQB back.

bring back flaming helmets…
A flaming fotus helmet!! aka a bullseye on your forehead in matchmaking

My soul burns bright, why should my head not?

I loved reach’s operator helmet, however, I prefer the Warrior helmet in Halo 4.

The problem is that 343 wants the War Games to be cannon, however, a few explanations could easily make all of the old helmets come back.

343 have done to much taking away and adding in my opinion, they should only be adding!

My wishlist:

  • Mark V (RvB won’t work without it, because it’s caboose helmet and what would RvB be without him?

  • Mark V (my favorite helmet ever)
    - Venator raptor (but with costumizable visor colour)
    - Recruit Prime (Like venator raptor One of my favorites… )
    Note: I like the Default helmet pretty much^^
