Wondering if they will be doing retro armors in halo 5 or if all armors will be new and improved? What yas think?
New and improved! My theory anyways…
If they bring back CQB, H3 era Scout, and keep Warrior…
They can do whatever else they want.
Bring back Hayabusa armor please!
They need to keep the Marks V & VI … they’ve been in every game since Halo 3. Although, I don’t want to have to pay additional money for the Mark V this time … how about, complete the game on Heroic: unlock Mark V; complete it on Legendary: unlock Mark VI.
One of the only new helmets I like is Operator (there was a helmet in Reach called “Operator” but it looked quite different). Bring on the new; keep creating and expanding, but leave the classics like Noble 138 said; the Marks, Scout, ODST, Recon, EVA, Air Assault, CQB, etc.
The armour they introduced in Halo 4 can stay in Halo 4.
I would like to see the return of Mark V, VI, ODST and perhaps Recon (after vidmasters).
As long as Halo 5’s gear isn’t a reiteration of Halo 4’s horrible design, I’d like to see what 343 has in store.
EDIT: Yeah bring back the katana too

I don’t even think you like Warrior 
Build off 4’s, and make less random alien designed helmets.

Isn’t that quite a bit contradictory? Halo 4 has had the most nonsensical and absurd armor designs out of any Halo game, why would you build off that if you don’t want it to look like that?

Why would I be wearing this armor, if I didn’t like it?
I say build off of Halo 3 and add TONS new of armors, with a select few returning from Reach and 4 (like Rogue, for instance). They should be less weird/ugly than 4’s armors and less boring than Reach’s armors, I reckon there’s a sweet spot in between.
id really like to see armour from all halo games in halo 5!!People liked armours from different halos so why not remake the ones we all liked. I was a big hayabusa fan also but this time add the flames for all to use. I think it would be cool to see blur or red flames from halo 5 helmets.
I say merge Reach and 4, with 4’s overall body design.
SPI wants in on the action too…
Anywho… I’d say update what we have so it can be practical. Use some canon reason to explain it, or whatever. I don’t really have an opinion on the look as long as it stays true to GEN2 standard design (GEN2 undersuit-esque, thrusters, etc.)
I’d prefer simplistic, functional armor like MarkV, CQC and Security, but we will probably end up with strange designs like Pioneer. I did like the Recruit armor in Halo 4, seems like something a spartan 5 would actually wear.
By the way, I absolutely hate Hayabusa.

How about we get the ability to choose which model we want
Example: Mark V- Mark 5
Scout(Halo Reach)-Scout(Halo 3)- Scout (Halo 4)
It would add to the ever growing armory and give players more customization(like we didn’t have enough!). This way everyone could look different and be unique…although this would be pretty hard and time consuming.
BTW Hayabusa is unlikely due to it being other games’ trademark which Bungie acquired for the 'Spartan Samurai’

Hahahaha i’m inclined to agree! That was such a horrible waste of potential, unlike anything i have ever seen before!
Halo 4s armor didn’t look like it was combat applicable, which is what made halo 3 and reachs armor so good. The armor in 4 is designed with fashion in mind, which makes no sense when you get down to it. I would like to see more industrial or mechanical armor sets, you know, more human.
Another problem I have is the spartan itself in the armor. The under suit has has is own color, which ruins any chance of making old armor like mk6 or mk5, 100% accurate. Another problem is that they are to skinny, Spartans use to be bigger before. You could make the argument that the armor made them look bigger, which begs the question; why didn’t halo 4s armor didn’t do the same?
I just want stronger looking Spartans and more industrial/mechanical/combat applicable armor in halo 5.
Zips up flamesuit
I honestly like the direction Halo 4 took with armour.
Before you guys burn me at the stake - hear me out. I like the Halo 4 armour because it shows that we are progressing towards this, showing that we are advancing.
I don’t care what kind of armor they make as long as i get a helmet like pilot back from reach i will content with what else i miss my helmet but rogue substitutes nicely. and bring back additional pieces i liked reading the additional lore.
