I remember reading a couple months ago that they were supposed to return… but I’ve been unable to find a shred of evidence they are present in Halo 4. I guess its probably for the best that they are gone, but do we know for sure if they are in the game or not?
No, they are not.
They won’t be returning. They were a terrible addition anyways, I’m glad they’re gone.
Well the king in Regicide blows up in sparks when he dies.

Glad to hear they are not. They got really annoying after a while…
good riddance in my book.
What was so bad? I mean the confetti one got annoying, sure, but the others weren’t bad at all. On the other hand, there isn’t much way to explain them in the lore-centered MM of Halo 4.
I really didn’t like armor effects. How would they fit in with canon, too? Armor effects made players’ Spartans look really ugly. Inclement weather and pestilence made you look . . . idk how to describe it, I just DETESTED that look on Spartans. It looked AWFUL, imo. The only armor effect I liked was Eternal (Blue Flames) and Birthday Party. I love Birthday Party, makes the game a whole lot more fun and hilarious. It’s so satisfying to hear those little kids cheering “YAY!” when you kill an opponent and ticking off “serious gamers” who find Birthday Party immature.
Well, I believe there are some options for armor effects in the custom game options, such as an OS effect or speed boost effect(or in the case of FLOOD mode, a flood skin/weapon). Don’t quote me on this, however, as I can in no way confirm this.
I can confirm, however, that no armor effects will be available in the same way there were in reach.
I wish they would come back. Flames were sweet.
Considering everything else we’ve got for Halo 4 customization, its fine if those effects are left out…

And I supposed eternal flames and birthday party do fit in with the canon? A pretty contradictory statement what you said there
Personally I’m a little sad to not see them return, but oh well they didn’t really make too much difference to the game, just looked nice, I don’t think I’ll miss them too much
no armor effects?
YAY!!!
the looked stupid anywayz…
I would like to see inclement weather in H4, that armor effect was perfect
I thought they were ridiculous in Reach. I use the red flame as it came with the Legendary Edition but I don’t think much of that either.

It would only cause fps issues anyway.
