This isn’t a Halo 4 put down thread, some of the armor in Halo 4 is fine but there was something about my armor in Reach that just seemed right and I think that its the detail back in Reach the armor all or mostly looked different but in Halo 4 the only real differance is the helmets. The torsos don’t have the pouches straps and grenades that I like in Reach even the Halo 3 armor had more variety than Halo 4 but now I’m starting to -Yoink- so down in the comments tell me what halo customizations/armor you liked most
You’re not the only one, trust me.
I honestly hate the coloured under-suit we have on the MP Spartans. The NPC Mk IVs don’t have it, the Chief doesn’t have it, so why the hell do we? It messes up the silhouette of the armour plating, which makes the whole thing look a whole lot more messy.
I also preferred Reach’s ‘walking human tank’ armour design to the Crysis rip-off version of Halo 4. It looked like human armour, human made, and still like you had tank-parts stuck on. I also liked the modable nature of it, with different add-on variants, and the fact you could instantly tell which pieces belonged to which set because they were all distinct. All H4 has is some naff pattern variants that you can barely notice and a LOT of armour that looks the same =/
Spartan IV’s look a lot like Halo 3’s Spartan II’s - Very shiny, very clean.
Reach, and even Halo 2, had Battle Worn Armor, which looks great IMO. Halo 4’s Spartans look real clean and crisp, which also looks great. The customization has greatly improved but it’s much more streamline this time around, (besides the Unicorn Horn XD) a little less practical tho (helmets with no visor :\ )

Not to rain on your parade but I think reach had more customization. I like my Halo 4 armor but to me it looks a little to blurry and not quite rendered enough.
armor looked better in reach, majority of people though made their Spartans looks like refridgerators.

Say what you will about Reach but its armory is still the best. I think that every halo has had something that is the best out of all the rest like Halo 2:story/MP Halo 3: online population ODST:firefight Reach: armor/custom games.

Looks pretty battle-worn to me.
Reach had the same style as Halo:CE, 2 and 3, albeit with better graphics. Halo 4 completely retconned the entire look and style, and I can’t say I approve. Like I said, Crysis rip-off, not Halo.

You refering to the GUNGNIR helmet.
The armours here look like Power ranger armours 
Sometimes I wonder if 343i are sometimes kids or something like that. Remember the dubstep music from Promethian weapon trailer?
I just hate the colors in this game. Nothing looks good in red anymore. And I’ve been using red since CE.

I wouldn’t count on that. EVERYONE uses dubstep for trailers these days ><
I want to know why my secondary armour colour does not appear unless I play regicide. Couldn’t we see it in Halo 3 and reach?
The Halo 4 Armour has more a Covenant style. Right now I miss all my Commando Armour from Halo Reach.
Reach armour looks SO much better than Halo 4 armour. Everything about it. Including but not limited to our choices… cough ODST cough
I honestly miss the Military Police helmet
And having a random flashlight on the head just was fun to me
I love my Reach armour, Commando helmet 3rd option with H.A.L.O torso, CQC left shoulder (for better cover when using the machine gun lol) & UA Base red shoulder.
White with blue highlights to emulate MechWarrior’s Clan Ghost Bears. On occasion, during our games nights, I’ll switch up the white with olive, brown or black, just for a change.
I just can’t get into H4’s armours, they feel too manga/anime mecha, which good if you want that. I love that stuff, in my manga/anime, not Halo.
The customisation options in HALO 4 dwarf those in Reach, so many times you could meet someone else who had the same armour look as you and the options to really customise your “unique” Spartan were small
HALO4 allows for so many combinations of different Armour sets that I have yet to see anyone else look remotely similar to my Spartan…so far I have not even encountered anyone else using a Locus helmet as I am on my journey to SR66
Sobs
I miss my breeching collar…
And my trauma kit…
And my shotshell bandoleer…
Honestly the biggest complaint I have about the way the armor in 4 looks is that all of it, even the redesigned Mark VI looks… well… FRAIL might be the word I’m looking for.
None of it looks like those big honking commando shoulder plates that looked like they cut it out of the fender of a Scorpian. Now THAT was a piece of armor!
I really miss looking bulky but most of all i miss the HUGE knifes hanging of my bulky spartan

The MiLitary þoLice HeLmet is a #1 Favorite of mine =D
