so the new Champions Bundle Pack just came out and I was excited to check out the new armor
the armor from the outside was phenomenal and I decided I wanted to use the ODST shoulders,
but then I noticed a problem in 1st person view,
none of the brand new armor forearm or shoulder pieces can be seen on your own spartan from 1st person view, instead they are replaced by the inner-plated forearms and scout shoulders
I know its a small problem, but I’m a melee heavy guy so I see the arm render alot, and its weird not seeing the armor I put on,
so a patch would be much appreciated, thank you
Yes, this problem is rather annoying. I was quite looking forward to seeing my new Mark V armour in first person… 
In addition, the Protector helmet seems to be messed up as well on the new maps. For some reason, every time I spawn, it will have a different visor planted onto it, completely ruining the aesthetics of my favourite helmet in the game.
I hope that 343i will come up with a fix for these bugs, and do it quickly. Of course, problems were to be expected with the addition of completely new armour into the game, but it’s disappointing nonetheless.
I’m not sure if you guys know this, and if you do, I apologize, but if you are playing in Spartan Ops, the new armor types do not work at all. I haven’t noticed the rendering problem you’re talking about in war games, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. 343 has a whole lot to fix, in any case.

Yeah, I know that. However, the problems that we’re talking about happen in matchmaking and custom games. You have Mark V equipped, right? Does your armour show up at Mark V in first person?
For me, the leg armour in first person looks fine, though my arms and shoulders are set as Scout, even though I have Mark V equipped and they show up that way in third person.
However, I’m glad to see that you haven’t encountered any issues! I’m glad that the problem doesn’t seem to affect every player, at least, which is nice.
My avatar hasn’t updated yet, I guess. I unequipped Mk. V as soon as I found out it isn’t compatible with Spartan Ops, which is why I didn’t notice the first person aesthetic issues, I guess.
As a player who plays a lot of attention to aesthetics, I sympathize with you l, though. 343 failed to tell us much about this bundle ahead of time.
Sorry for telling you what you already knew.

There’s no need to be sorry! You were just trying to help out, which is appreciated.
But yeah, I think this aesthetics issue is merely a bug, one that can hopefully be fixed easily. But you’re right, I wish they would have told us about the incompatibilities with Spartan Ops, though it would have taken away from their sales if they had, I think, which is why they never did it.
hopefully we can get this thread/problems noticed by 343 so they can be resolved,
I just decided to use the ODST shoulders anyway and then I’d know when the problem is fixed
