Look, I don’t know if its just me that thinks this way but Im not looking happily to the Recruit armor from Halo 4 being re used in Halo 5, I just didn’t like the armor, the chest, shoulders or the helmet, i was hoping there’d be a NEW recruit set of armor for Halo 5, I mean in all honesty i think its agreeable that Halo 4 DID have some of the worst armor sets, course im not saying they were bad like Operator, FOTUS, Recon, Protector, and several others looked GREAT really and the armor design was wonderful, but… Aviator? it was pretty ugly and thats coming back to halo 5, Not looking forward to that taking up space for something that could have been better, and the same goes for the recuit starting armor, i just don’t want to see re used armor that wasn’t that great i mean every halo to date has had different recruit armors, Its a small thing i know but still, I expect good judgment and whoevers judgment thought it was a good idea to bring Aviator back, Makes me question 343’s Developers ideas of what good armor really looks like, and what should have been scapped and not used
All in all though theres tons of armor i wanna see come back, Just, not the unanimously Ugly ones,
I, and a lot of other people besides, quite like Recruit. And they have changed the design a bit. It’s bulkier, especially around the shoulders. I personally always thought Recon was ugly, but I never petitioned to get it removed.
Plus, not every Halo had different default armours. H2/3 had the same, as did H2A, although that may not count.
I think the main goal for Halo 4 was to crank out as many armor sets as possible for the sake of saying “we have this many armor pieces and you can make 6 bazillion combinations with them,” but as a result the quality of each one suffered. What ended up happening was the game shipped with dozens of helmets but you only ever saw players using 10 or so because the rest were rubbish.
This time I hope they focus more on quality rather than quantity, so that we don’t end up with a long list of armor to scroll through with only a few usable ones.
I would prefer it if armour sets had multiple skins and you could choose them from a sub menu, like weapon skins or helmet attachments in reach. Having it as a technically completely new armour makes clutter.
Just bring back all the reach armor.
I liked the armor in Halo 4 up to a point. It feels like they ran out of ideas after designing the ‘core’ sets. I also did not like how much of the armor variants lacked proper visors, one or two like Gungnir is fine.
That said I felt like the options in Halo 3 and Reach seem like they were just glued on bits of armor that true variants.
I guess I would hope 343 follows a design philosophy of having function dictating form rather than assigning an arbitrary role to a ‘cool’ armor design.
why can’t we all just start with Mk VI? I’d also like to see the return of hyubasa.
I like em

Not likely, due to copyright with Team Ninja and all that. You might get Raider if you ask nicely.

All the Reach armor was boring. It’s like- “What do I want, this helmet with small yellow/white visor, or this helmet with a smaller visor in the same shape…”
As I have said before I actually like the majority of the Halo 4 armours and the style they tried to achieve with the armour, so I am happy some of the sets have made a return, they are definitely better than what ever armour we first saw in the E3 multiplayer teaser.
