I love Halo 4 because:
The graphics are amazing
The gameplay is great
The sounds are fantastic
The story is fantastic
I dislike Halo 4 because:
Commando = Helghast/ Killzone
EOD = Helghast/ Killzone
CIO = Yet another Killzone/ Gasmask/ WWII/ Helghast look
Hazop = Republic Commando (but could pass as Helghast also)
Raider = Yoshimitsu/ Samurai
Scout = Dead Space, but looks like a bird as well
Venator = Very Dead Space
Warrior = Optimus Prime/ Transformer
Wetwork = Rather Ninja, but reminds me of something you’d see in MGS/ Is not Halo.
Fotus = Are they serious? No, really, were they serious? A Peacock or Unicorn? which?
Basically, I forget that I am in the Halo universe when I’m in the lobby because ALL of the armor, with exception to Enforcer, MKVI, Recruit and Recon and Orbital are all over-the-top and garbage and look like EVERYTHING ELSE and have no place in the Halo/ Spartan universe.
What 343 should do:
Bring back the MKV helmet (I prefer this over MKVI and bring back ODST helmet, CQC armor, JFO, MKV (variant B) helmet, Grenadier, the prosthetic arm and the rest of the lot that didn’t make it into Halo 4, as they were, including the older version of the Commando equipment…especially, the shoulder guards. Also,the ability to add/ remove attachments to the helmet. Also 343, in the future, should work to Preserve the Spartan feel and not go all over the place and concern themselves with trying to be everything but. I’m sorry, but part of the neat thing about Halo and its Spartans, is the very rustic looking, but effective nature of its technology.
really your only problems with this game is the armor?
lucky you i guess, but there are 50 other things I find are much larger issues
Disliking FPS because of armor you don’t even see while playing? 
There are more issues with this game then the damn armor…which no one really pays attention too.
That’s a really -Yoinking!- stupid problem to have with this game. And this is coming with someone who could complain about Halo 4 all day.
Im only going to put one like/hate to be fair.
LIKE - GRAPHICS there the BEST compaired to any other console game out there.
HATE - to many OP WEAPONS it makes btb a standstill campfest and small maps a clustered mess.
Armor doesnt bother me so much… EOD has been around since halo 3 so its original, been one of my favorites. and heck to the yes about venator being very dead space, fully plan on crafting an Isaac Clark advanced suit once I unlock it. Venator helmet, oceanic chest. Still deciding on shoulders to use.
Your improvements sound very Reachish. Hated the Reach armor. So huge and blocky and Frankenspartan looking, just throw a piece on here or there. Prosthetic arm was dumb I rolled my eyes whenever someone used it. Honestly I dont like most of the things you suggested they reintroduce
I think the new armours have more of an Elite looking quality to them,
Oh I don’t know, I’m sure there are many who feel that customization options are a huge deal and who feel that some of the themes present in the game are altering to the entire feel of the series and while encroaching on others…but fair enough, I’m sure there are other issues many have with the game, but none that bother me aside from it not Feeling very Halo at times. My best interest is preserving that Halo feel, after all, I began all of this back in 2000.
> I think the new armours have more of an Elite looking quality to them,
Why is there no elite armor suit for spartans? would it be to ugly?
He was meaning the word in its true sense, not as in the Covenant race, but true, that’s the other thing I don’t like. I miss being able to use my Elite and to use the Needle Rifle (one of my favorite weapons in Reach).
Basically, Microsoft got a hold of the IP and did with it what they wanted. I like the Master Chief’s newly re-designed armor, he looks the weight of a Spartan now, which is suppose to be around 1.4k lbs, after the 800-1000lb armor. I just can’t wait until they upgrade him again to look like the multiplayer stuff, when he has adopted a look equivalent too Ryu from Ninja Gaiden, but in armor form.
Halo has become a dress up your dolly, camp in a corner with camo game. So sad.
perhaps it’s because they tried to combine the best qualities of both species armour? Also i don’t think a spartan could wear something designed for an elite because of their body shape, though i think it’d be pretty damn cool to see some kind of more obvious elite style armour, though i think the rogue helmet is very similar to the elite ranger helmet
