Is anybody else really unimpressed/bored with the new Halo 4 armour?
For some reason, the only armour on the game I like is the old school styles.
E.g. Mark vi, Scout, Recon, E.V.A, E.O.D.
Hell, the only new armour I like is Recruit and Commando (I love this one).
I really wish the armour was more customizable and unique like reach and the painting system is god awful. And I miss ODST armour.
Am I the only one who is disappointed and what’s your favourite armour?
Im really only upset that there is not any large chest pieces other than HAZOP and EOD. All the others are just streamlined and small. I dont like that since i like to feel, ya know protected by the armor it self.
I personally use Hazop chest, operator helmet, Protector, engineer, or scout shoulders. I feel like a massive tank in this armor so its my BTB armor
To be honest I really like most of the armor in Halo 4 but I don’t like unlocking it through commenations. Flood victory master my -Yoink-.

I concur, especially the Recon SURGE, which im in the process of getting. Its really difficult, indeed.
OP, I like some of the armors in Halo 4: Recon, Recruit, Scout, EOD, Fotus, Gungnir, Hazop, Oceanic, and helmets; Deadeye, Locus, Strider, and Scanner.
I am pretty satisfied with MOST of the armor (some look dumb). What I do not like are helmets with no customizable visor and unlocking them with commendations. The credit system from Reach was good IMO. It made me feel that I was investing in my own armor.

Definitely. I was very disappointed that the CIO, Venator, etc. didn’t have customizable visors. I even got the CIO Web, thinking i can customize the visor to make it red and instead, i was stuck with a white visor.
Most of this armor is not to my tastes. Some have grown on me more since launch but not many. I’m a Bulky EOD guy since 3 and proud, so I’m glad that is still there.
My biggest complaint is the colors dont work right. Colors dont stand out from one another very well, leading to color stagnation. This is the first halo to date where I couldn’t make brown and tan work well. The tan blends in with next to no contrast from the brown, so frustrating. I have found exactly one way to combine armors to make brown and tan work ok. Unfortunately, it utilizes scout shoulders, which seem to be the only armor pieces in the game that look weathered. So i feel it clashes a bit but oh well.
My other gripe about the colors is that the nanosuit should always be black, and we see WAY too much of the nanosuit underneath a lot of the time. I dont feel like asking for my armor to cover me without 1 ft gaps in places is too unreasonable
I wish armor was what it was like in Halo 3. It didn’t really matter what armor you had, unless it was Recon(before everybody had it). Recon meant something, it meant you got threw the ODST missions without lagging out.
Yeah Halo 4 armour is pretty drab and boring.
I miss Reach’s variations, especially wrist and thigh options!
Not to mention half the helmets look impractical and just ugly…
Most of the armor is just silly. Mine is pretty bland. Just the scout helmet. I never bought any armor in reach and I got to Inheritor, but I loved my Katana and Scout armor in H3.
I gave up getting oddball victories for my new and improved scout helmet.
fotus is my favorite, was pretty exclusive. but ive seen so many now…some helmets are pretty good. but most of the body armor and legs and even forearms armor are a little, idk off?
I like most of the armor in halo 4.
My favorite
Locus helmet
Deadeye Helmet
Venator
Gungnir
Recruit
Fotus
Mark VI
Getting Fotus in mail soon, so can’t wait to be a unicorn!
Am I the only player that doesn’t care about playing dress up with my spartan?
Mark VI, Recon and Contoured are the only armors I like. Though if I ever get Weapon Mastery (yeah right) I’ll wear Protector.
I do like the visors though.

Must have been fun mastering the Plasma pistol lol

The credit system in Reach was crap. You had to spend tons of time racking up points just to get some of the cooler stuff. 2,000,000 credits just for an armor effect. I dont know about you, but if I am going to wait until I am a general to spend credits, they are definitely going towards armor.

Armor signifies the accomplishments of the players that wear it. For some of us, we take pride in the long journey we went through to get some of the armor. Plus, if everyone was wearing the same thing, it would get boring.
Personally, I love most of the armor in Halo 4, I just wish it some of the cooler stuff wasnt so hard to get. I also dont think armor should be awarded for commendations. Commendations should be for purely xp purposes. I think in the next Halo, armor should be unlocked through achievements like in Halo 3. This would show true value in the armor, instead of showing how much of a no-life you were to get it through commendations.
I think the victory commendations shouldnt have been so high. You need over 250 victories in all gametypes but slayer, which slayer requires over 500 victories. Most of the cooler armor comes from these commendations as well. They also should have lowered the requirements for forerunner destroyer.
I like the Halo 4 armor. It has more variety and detail then all the Halo’s so far. Still can’t stick with one set though. I’m always changing my look and colors.

Sounds like myself. I always spend at least ten minutes messing with different armor combos.
I like most of it. I change my armour often enough though. Maybe one day I’ll find one that I really love. I’d cost the UNSC so much money if I was a Spartan.

What are you talking about, the armor in halo 4 is awesome. My favorite armor is fotus, but I don’t have it so that’s why I’m wearing oceanic.
