Old Armour personalisation system or new?

Personally I think Reach is the best one because:

  • The armour looks better and not cheap like a action figure

  • Its much less complicated

  • Has better personalisation than Halo 4

Who agrees/disagrees?

I rather like the new streamlined look
some helmets look a little…exotic
but all in all, i like the new customization

however, i do miss some old classic armor pieces

Reach armory > Halo 4 armory

But, I do like how the armor isn’t molded to the undersuit like in previous games. Hurry for graphical improvement!

To be honest I don’t think it looks realistic, it looks to toy like for me

the armor is colorful now and the new visors are a sight to behold. Some of the helmets are weird and some make me wont to throw up. But it has a lot more helmets I like then Halo Reach. Reach’s helmets sucked except for Mark V and the Inheritor Helmet. Halo 4, I’ve found a lot of helmet I like.

I love the new system. Only thing i dont like is each of the skins being listed as another armor piece. I would like to see it like Reach, where you select an armor piece then select the attachment, but with a skin instead.

its the opposite for me
i liked pretty much all helmets from reach, especially commando
They completely butchered my favorite helmet in this game and added a bunch of other horrible -Yoink-. like scanner. who even uses it?

Scanner I wouldn’t mind using. Commando has been butchered, not nearly as good looking as in Reach (I still like it though). The worst ones are the ones with no visor and the ones with white lights. They are an abomination to Halo. Reach’s Gungnir was pushing it for me.

i wish they would have made a helmet witht the promethean skull on it, just to replace the haunted helmet

oohh yeah. gungnir, AKA the generic spartan refrigerator armor.
too bad theres even more in halo 4

Yeh they have made a mess of the helmets in Halo 4, although there is one helmet which I like: EOD It looks the same as before maybe a bit better so I can still look like a YOINK! Monkey whilst wearing it

Halo reach armor and customization is much better than halo 4’s.

Reach’s armor pieces mostly consist of pieces that get places on top of the base armor rather than actually changing the base armor itself. This is especially true of torso armor, where most options are just extra plates and packs that get taped to the standard recruit armor.

In Hslo 4, armor customization actually replaces entire sections of armor, such as replacing the entire torso or arms with new ones. Some of the armor options… aren’t exactly nice to look at, but the customization is still much more comprehensive, and leads to more distinctive looking Spartans. Hopefully in Halo 5 and onwards, they’ll stick with a similar system, but with better designed armor.

I dont care how my dude looks in a FPS when the gameplay sucks balls.

Reach Armory > 4 Armory

I liked Reach’s aesthetic a lot more. Each piece of armor had a distinct and different shape than the others so you could tell what they were at a distance. Every piece looked functional and believable. They were simple but they looked good, they weren’t muddled down with unnecessary ridges and ugly lines.

Halo 4’s armor is all the same size and shape and none of the pieces look different, especially the chest pieces. The armor has tons of knobs and ridges covering the entire thing which makes it visually unappealing. Half the helmets don’t even look functional, the visors are oddly shaped and put in weird places some don’t even have visors at all.

I was disappointed with the new look. I wouldn’t mind the new futuristic look if they had taken the time to make each variant look distinct and functional.
