Fav Armor and how you want it to look in Infinite

Halo has had dozens of designs and eras of different armors. What is your favorite and what elements of its past along with new additions in design do you think its Gen 3 counterpart should have in Halo Infinite?

Favorite Armor: MK IV MJOLNIR
Specific Favorite Variant: Halo Wars 2 cutscenes
Appearance In Halo Infinite: Rather similar to Halo Wars 2 cutscenes, would be nice to have shield generators included on the design, also would be cool if the armor was a touch bulkier.
Suggested Armor Difficulty To Achieve: High, this armor was the first MJOLNIR suit, so early in design that it did not even have shields. If you want the first suit, you have to work hard.
Problems With Previous Designs: In Halo 5, the MK IV got its first ever appearance in an FPS game. Yet it seemed to be missing something. In the Gen 2 format, the MK IV lost part of what made it so appealing to me, its perfect balance of bulk and speed. In Halo 5, the MK IV looked far to fragile for my liking, and had too many gaps in the armor. It also had a different undersuit, which looked weaker and easier to puncture. The armor looked like it was supposed to be designed for Kelly, not a bulky defensive spartan like Fred.

Bonus Armor: MK V MJOLNIR
Specific Favorite Variant: Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary POSTER version
Appearance In Halo Infinite: Overall armor like the poster version, yet with a slightly smaller head to body ratio to match up with the Gen 3 MK VI and other armors to give a sense of size. Make sure to use the dark green color scheme for the armor.
Suggested Armor Difficulty to achieve: Do I even need to explain that this was the original game? Of COURSE it will be hard to get.
Problems With Previous Designs: In Halo CE 2001, the head looked way to big in comparison to the body in my view. In Halo CEA, the head looked like it was transformed into a flashy fishbowl, visor was way too big. In Halo 5…well…lets not even speak of that horrid helmet. Helmets seem to be a problem with this armor, I don’t know why, the CEA Poster version was the only one I have seen that really nailed the helmet design and proportion.

Would love to hear your ideas for Infinite armor designs.

I would like them to have a gen 3 version of all the halo 3 armors. I think that would be cool but probably won’t happen.

Favorite Armor: Scout or Mark VI
Specific Favorite Variant: Halo Reach Jun and Halo 3 Chief
Appearance In Halo Infinite: Basically the same.
Suggested Armor Difficulty To Achieve: Some sort of achievement (no req packs etc)
Problems With Previous Designs: Not many really.

Definitely need a old school Recon helmet.
If it unlocked from a Vidmaster challenge too! That’d be awesome.

my fav armor is is rogue but my runner up is reaches scout i just love how the rogue uses your secondary color the one thing i don’t like about the rogue is the hole thingy i guess it looks like a mouth and its weird but if it ends up in infinite i hope you can toggle the hole on or off doubt it though :frowning:

Definitely has to be the Sanghelli armor from Halo 5. It’d be great to have something that represents you legendary completion of the campaigns.

I think that 343 should keep their Halo 4/5 armor appearance, just add the same level of tactical-ness (pockets, knives, etc.) that Halo: Reach had.

I like the Hermes armor that Kelly wears. The Gen 3 version is shown on the cover art for Halo Shadows of Reach and I hope I can access it in Halo Infinite.

The cqb helmet and I would like it to be like halo reach’s and to unlock it you would have to get an achievement or commendation.

I personally liked the Reach version of Recon the best but absolutely YES to the Vidmaster challenge of unlocking it.

I would love to see Fred’s armor updated to gen3 and more akin to his halo legends armor
I really liked Jorge armor and you can throw that in there to make bulky Spartans and more slender ones to have a lot of variety
I love to see hud customization but in colors like doom eternal that would take it to a whole another level
I hope that 343 listen to us and try to do add these thing to infinite to keep improving it after released in the release
I WILL LOVE TOO IF WE HAD ELITES WITH ARBITER ARMOR TOO though.

I would quite like a gen III Military Police helmet, It would be interesting to see it in more of a classic style.

343 have really been taking some inspiration from Reach, so I really hope they bring that armor along for the ride.

I’ve been a huge fan of the GEN 2 Hunter armor since I first saw it, and while many will point out that it’s too busy, or “isnt Halo”, I’d disagree. I love the sleek, stealthy design, the greyish-blue tint, and the prototype finish of it. I love the glowing energy conduits along the legs, abdomen, and arms; A detail that wouldve been cool to show in action like when Locke was sprinting, or climbing- show each conduit glowing brighter when each appendage was in use. It wouldve bee a cool detail.
I like the “fins” and “flaps” on the shoulders and legs, but really likened the suit to an F22 F22 Raptor on legs. The helmet was cool too, although the face-plate area was a tad ‘busy’ with all the intricate details. I loved the sleek, smooth front area that looked like it housed sensor systems, almost like a Predator Drone.
Overall, the GEN 2 Hunter Armor was a win!

Indeed, maybe a Gen-1 MK VI legacy armor for beating the campaign on Legendary that has the Gen-3 proportions with a really good looking Halo 3 Chief suit? And a Halo Reach Jun suit for beating Halo Reach on Legendary as a reward in Infinite. Always loved Reach’s gritty look in almost every nook and cranny.

Maybe a reward for getting Max rank as a callback to H3?

Would be a nice touch if they gave us Gen-2 suits. Would be pretty funny having these massive bulky Gen-3 guys getting destroyed by a guy wearing the thin Gen-2 armor.

The Helioskrill was a cool armor, maybe a reward for reaching some specific rank as an Elite? Would be interesting to see as a Gen-3.

Good idea! Always loved that helmet. I have a special connection to it knowing that it was Spartan-II Samuel’s special helm.

Seems to take much inspiration from Halo: Legends.

Rogue was such a stealthy looking helmet! Always was watching my back when a member of the other team had it. The hole never bothered me that much but I understand why it would.

Indeed! For some reason I always think of a wolf when I see it, has a very predatory look.

The toy fair revealed a possible default spartan that clearly took major inspiration from Reach, its possible that they may take it further.

Well we know from the cover of Shadows of Reach that your dream for Fred has come true, an armor similar to Jorge would be sweet and would really fit in with the bulky Gen-3’s. Makes you wonder how big a Gen-3 Jorge armor would look!

Halo 3 Security and Hayabusa armor please!

> Halo 3 Security and Hayabusa armor please!

Lol, the infamous Fishbowl and Samurai armors. Definitely brings back memories from Halo 3. Hoping for that back katana option.

favorite spartan armor is helioskrill i think if just made overall shape more simple like they are going for in new game and other than that nothing
favorite elite armor commander from h4/5 and elite officer from reach (they look pretty different but overall look alike enough to be same armor) for halo infinate the officer version would be more appropiate for artsyle i think very little needs to be changed aside making textures fit more with lighting and also the emmited lights
non playable characters ripa morammees armor (even tho is just basically same for all arbiters but i like it cus ripa moramee is so different from all elites) lighting and texures and done also dual wielding energy swords must be made

Helioskrill helmet and Shinobi body. More of the same would do, I usually pick one combo and stay with it. Customised legs, arms and shoulders would be a bonus.

Favorite Armor: Chief’s changed MK VI MJOLNIR in H4
Specific Favorite Variant: Halo 4 CG cutscenes
Appearance In Halo Infinite: Exactly like that, maybe without the covenant-ish hexagons in the visor and with those protective “bars” at the sides of the waist like 2A’s Mark VI in multiplayer.
Suggested Armor Difficulty To Achieve: Harder than Halo 3 recon if that’s humanly possible.
Problems With Previous Designs: Only that it came out of nowhere and wasn’t used as the new spartan armors instead of the power rangers we got.

Helioskrill, but with the hand armor fixed and not see through.
