Now unlike KogaGmente III forum about armors sets that they would like to see return in future games and in this current game, I want to ask and compile community requests on current armors in Halo 5 that don’t have a legendary version but would like to see have a legendary version. There are many unique armor sets in Halo 5 and they are all very cool and appealing in their own way. Some follow the same pattern as some armors but each armor set has its own flair that would lend the community a broad range of individuality. However this idea of individuality is not realized due to the req rarity system, many people wear the same armor because its legendary and very sleek and edgy, but mostly because its legendary so people tend to discriminate against the very common and rare sets because they aren’t legendary. This is not to say that legendary armor is not cool and very awesome, but it is over used and too many people share the same look and it becomes very monotonous looking at intro and outro scenes or trying to distinguish your character in an outro scene in war zone. However getting rid of the req system is not a valid option so the only logical course is for them to make legendary variants of community voted sets that do not have legendary versions.
My vote is for sets of the following:
Anubis Set
Viper Set
Hellcat Set
Dynast Set
Outward Bound Set or is it Outward Venture I can’t remember
Mako Set
more sets pending as soon as I log on and find their names to match them with those that I remember looking interesting.
I know people use Lockes armor and the Noble Team armor because its memorable and the Chiefs Armor and its variants because its nostalgic and slightly different with unique patterns, but come on lets go for armor that looks funky fresh and really stands out. However if those armor sets are you then go for it its totally fine. Also Achilles is not a valid excuse of people choosing armor not legendary because its a real badge of achievement like the Normal version of Skrillbound and the Timmy Helmet and other armors that you get from special actions.

I have noticed that a lot of people put an arbitrary value on items with a higher “rarity”. I don’t personally see the point; I’ve worn the same armour for ages now and I like it with as little unnecessary decoration as possible.
My favourite visor and stance are both common and my armour and helmet are both rare (from memory at least).
Also can 343 please fix the visor on Hellcat?

How is the visor on Hellcat broken?
From memory,it doesnt feature one.

Concept art and the waypoint customisation page (when in preview mode) both point to it being bugged.
Go check it out for yourself, it looks awesome with a proper visor.
I forgot to mention that in Halo 5, CIO has a proper visor, whereas in Halo 4 it had the same plain white texture as the Hellcat does. When you take all of that into account as well as the fact that with Halo 5’s minimal level of armour customisation, it seems incredibly unlikely that Hellcat was intended to eschew the visor option.
This is something I’ve mentioned before and I usually get ignored, so thanks for the attention I guess…
Do we really need to have more armor variants? Especially Legendary variants? That’ll just screw people who are trying to get Legendary or Ultra Rare armor pieces that they want.
“Here, have more stuff to inflate the system. You want Wrath? You want Indomitable? HAH! Screw you, have a reskin of an armor that you got months ago!”
It’s already irritating enough with the way the REQ system currently works, and adding more to it will only make it more frustrating.

Yes we do because the community is lacking in armor diversity and since we can’t fix the Req system in the game we can at least patch shortcomings with diverse content to allow us the option to choose how we would like to look without worrying about rarity. Just because you and a few of you like current legendary armor and hate the req system doesn’t mean the rest of us wouldn’t like to have more options for customization without the stigma of rarity. At this point reusing content is the best solution for keeping a game this old slightly relevant and exciting without adding new modes only so often. I just want to ask people if they want to vote for armors they think deserve a legendary variant.

Yeah, I never got that either, I noticed almost everything I genuinely like it usually uncommon or rare in every aspect from stances to armor to weapons, people think I’m crazy when I choose silver packs when prepping for WarZone.

If people like the way an armor piece or helmet looks, they’re going to wear it, no matter what. Rarity be -Yoink!-. People probably barely care about rarity. I don’t know, maybe they actually do care, but that’s not my point here. My point is that maybe there’s a different reason for any lack of armor diversity. You’ve seen how people bash on 343’s art style, no?

Look I did not make this forum to discuss the politics of artistic value, but I am one of those people who have criticized 343 art style in other forums, however there are still things that I like visually about this game and I do in fact like this game overall. As things stand little chance for complete improvement, this forum is to suggest and urge the community to come together and bring up the subject of armor styles that are cast aside due to rarity and there are people who decide on armor and style just by this standard overall. The subject of rarity is to apply perceived value on objects and armor which makes us accept that the legendary armors are worth being low drop chance because they are legendary, if not then it would have been like reach or even 4’s armor system that awarded armor solely on merit even by credits, back then games after halo 3 started showing people with unique and personalized armor combos and everyone had their own sense of style shown through their character. Now even though we have maybe even double if not triple the customization options available to us than before more than half are cast aside due to rarity so since we cannot force 343 to abandon the REQ system during this games’ lifetime, while it is still the most recent available title of the main franchise I would like to see the armors that do not shine in the community a chance to be picked if they are raised to the same rarity as the legendary armors.
Adding more armor is also 343’s easiest solution to keep this game alive and active as it allows artist the freedom to make new armor real and generate more interest in the game in between updates and fixes.
