As you all know, Halo 5 will be shipping with a ridiculous amount of armor sets; however, some of the older favorites have been forgotten.
Mjolnir mark V.
Issue resolved, confirmed to be in Halo 5
CQB.
The CQB chest armor was the most popular of it’s category in Halo 3. Because of this, the helmet and chest piece survived to Halo Reach, and spawned the CQC armor. Now it has been abandoned.
EOD.
Easily one of the most awesome sets of armor ever created, this set has mysteriously disappeared from Halo 5, despite its popularity.
Recon.
This set has not been forgotten, simply mutilated beyond recognition. What the heck 343?
Rogue.
I’ve heard many people mourn it’s passing. My question is why did it die?
Operator.
Like Recon, this armor has been completely changed. Now it looks hideous and further proves that fireteam majestic has a not so majestic fashion sense.
If any of you know what happened to these wonderful suits of armor, and more importantly, whether or not they will return, please say something here.
Yep, Mark V AND Mark IV confirmed. Will probably drop later, maybe when Forge is added. And i totally agree about CQB and EOD, they were amazing. Although i have to say, the Halo 4 Operator was actually okay by my taste…

ODST is more or less nightfall or helljumper armor, the nightfall armor is basically ODST type gear converted for spartan use. It’s not identical, but then again every returning armor set has been revised in some way.

I personally think helljumper is far mor odsf than nightfall. Nightfall seems to me a mix of ODST and Mark V. It shares the mark V shoulders and larger visor and equipment packs, but had elements that feel more lile ODST.
Are people forgetting about that they are adding content in the next 8 months after the initial launch?
This is something I would not stressed about, they were in MCC and a lot of those were in halo 4. Heck, some of those could be stuff they just changed up a little bit.

That’s better than nothing I suppose…

> Lets be honest here, the CQB was so ugly xD
That just happens to be my preferred armor set. Note my current helmet.

Nightfall armor set. Officially.

The H4 Operator armor was cool, it just isn’t the Operator armor. Call it cicada, and there you go. Great standalone piece.

Yeah the nightfall suit had ammo packs and looked a bit more fast/lightweight and made for recon missions maybe. Bucks suit looks really bulky and heavy. Both take cues from the ODST look though, and are clearly revamped for spartan use. I’m glad we have both, they are quite unique in their own way. They adhere to a more traditional Halo feel whereas other suits like Fotus are way off in some other direction of weirdness.
Mark V has been confirmed by Josh Holmes to be in the game despite it’s lack of appearance in the recent builds we’ve seen.
Here’s the source
“BGE: Will the original Mark V Helmet be available via REQ packs? Recent footage revealed it was not available as an unlockable – is it there via other means? If not, will it perhaps come as additional content after launch?
Josh: Both the Mark IV and Mark V helmets will be available through the REQ system.”

Eh, not really. The only similarity is visor shape, and not even much. Anubis, however, looks like mark V B with a pointy end and smaller visor

Yeah, I don’t think so. Recruit is closer to ODST than Vb, I would say.

The bigger question now is…will they be in the launch build/day one patch? Or come as additions in the following month or two?

Over 200 REQ cards are missing so it could very well be Mark IV and V will be there at launch.
