Is just bad…really bad… The majority is just so ugly… It’s like they said man we need more of that ugly armor from H4 in H5. Know what else lame, the emblem you use doesn’t show up on the armor. Whatever is on the armor is on it. It used to change to what you selected before.
although those are cool effects this game wasnt made to just please you

He’s still allowed to comment on his opinion about it though.
I agree OP, the armor doesn’t really work to well for me in this game.
I agree. Armor design is not 343’s strongpoint. I wish it was more like Reach where everything was new and different but still had that Halo feel. A few weird looking armors here and there is fine, but that seems to be the bulk of 343’s armory.
Luckily, I found a combination I like.
I also agree about the emblems. It would be nice if they displayed on our armor somewhere.
Also, what’s up with some of the skins being color-locked? There’s a set of recon armor with this weird aqua-marine decal allover it. Basically, the only people who’d wear it are people who want recon AND some aqua-marine skin. Seems like a niche crowd to me.
And then there’s some armor (Noble and one of the MK VI) that takes whatever secondary color you’ve chosen and makes it like 5 shades darker. What is the point of this? I chose my secondary color because it the one I wanted, not because I thought it would look good as a completely different color.
Some of the design choices baffle me, not because of my opinion on what looks best, but because these choices just don’t make sense.
It’s not the endless floods of trash armor and skins in the game that frustrates me the most.
It’s the fact that all unlocked cosmetics are SORTED CHRONOLOGICALLY.
If you change your armor with any kind of frequency, you have to sort through your entire collection of useless throwaway armor that you’ll never use for a million years in order to find the pieces you want to equip. You can’t just look up a cool armor set online and easily search your unlocks for the armor pieces, because everyone’s cosmetics are arranged differently. Come on, 343. Put them in alphabetical order, or something, at least.
I just wish I could at least organize the armor so I can have the like three or four sets I like first and all the other garbage last.
I agree as well. I think the amount of armours that I like enough to wear can be counted on my fingers, and more than half of those are classic armours that have returned. (Mark IV, Noble), while the others are the campaign armours. Other than that, I think there are 3 armours that I do like?
So yeah, 343i needs to rethink its armour design philosophy. They should take a long, hard look at Reach’s armour to understand what made it so good.

I feel like those white patterns they have all the armors should be a separate color customization so you can basically hide them if you don’t like them by matching them with the primary color.

If you’re looking for armor sorted by rarity. Go to “Collection” under the Requisitions tab I think. Then when you look at your collected armor/helmets they are sorted by rarity. Problem solved.
I don’t agree. I think the armor looks futuristic and cool, it has some crumby ones but a lot of them look good. I wasn’t a fan of reaches system of “its the same template with different stuff on top” having complete differences in suits makes the armor feel more worthwhile.

While I agree with a good few of them, they’re not all that bad, are they? I mean, I usually regular between Mark VI [GEN1], Noble, and sometimes others if their design is at least somewhat decent. I’m kind of shooting for helljumper, myself.
I don’t think they just got up one day and decided “Hey! Let’s make the armor all ugly!”, I’m guessing the guy who designed a few of them didn’t feel like them being conventional was important (Tracker, Engineer, and Gungnir are reasonable, though)
That said, Whoever drew up designs like Mako and Seeker must have been designing it with their feet.
As far as the emblems go, I agree, there’s not really any benefit to having a static emblem. Although I can’t remember if it was a team-based emblem or if it’s just a universal one.

That would be great too. I don’t understand that permanent white either
Reach armor > 343 armor.
Mark IV [Halo Wars] > anything else.
I guess I don’t necessarily care if I don’t like most of the armors but I do however care that they have just made so many of the same ones with just minor differences
No please don’t say it again because its posts like these that clutter this site.
I guess there is just only so much you can do with armor and still have it look cool/unique.
What I think is really screwed is you can’t mix match armor like you could before.
Power Rangers: UNSC edition!!!
I agree, most of it looks lame and un-Halo.
I disagree.
Wow, what a meaningful discussion this is.
My main complaint is that the colors feel too vibrant. Makes them looks odd.
