What’s more important to you when choosing your armor, that’s is rare or it looks cool? Are you lucky enough that the armor you think looks coolest is the most rare?
For me, once I found out that helioskrill armor is available in req packs, it killed off my desire to sport it. Instead of having it to show off skill, now it’s just shows I got lucky with a req pack. As soon as I unlock the helljumper armor, that’s what I’m going to use.
I’ve always had a desire to look the way I think is “cool” rather than wear something that doesn’t actually appeal to me visually just for its rarity factor. If I look like a noob for wearing common-rarity armor, so be it. At least then I can confuse other players into thinking I play like a noob then wipe the floor with them as punishment for their hubris. generic villainous laugh
I don’t think getting any of the halo armor took skill necessarily, just some patience. Helioskrill especially. It can be like dark souls in a sense where eventually you know where everything is and next go around you beat it after failing so many times. Achilles is the same way, takes time before you get there (if you don’t farm). Yea you have to kill everything but regardless you’ll get it eventually.
Just an a personal opinion but I’m ok with armor exclusives being open to everyone after a certain amount of time, it lets everyone get the chance to wear it at least. I understand some like to think of it like a trophy but I just don’t see it that way honestly. Shouldn’t be exclusives in games but that’s just me.
I’ve always gone for what looks best. In Halo 3 I pushed really hard to unlock all the achievements (pre-DLC) to get all the armours. Damn was Steppin’ Razer hard!
Still, I always went back to default shoulders with CQB chest and helmet. It’s just what I liked the look of. I really wish we still had CQB armour.
I would wear it either way. It just so happens that I think my Achilles armor was the most badass. I’m hoping for Emile’s helmet in the Reach update. It’ll probably wind up being Legendary Mythic because all of the character helmets are. So that’ll probably wind up being pretty wear. I’ll interchange between Emile’s and Achilles helmets when/if I get them.

Steppin razor was one of my last ones to get. Loved getting all the armor in Halo 3. My loadout was Recon helmet, katana chest, scout shoulders. Loved it because it was rare and I liked the look of it.
I’d rather my armor look cool instead of it being being super rare. Currently I’m wearing the Enforcer helmet (Common) with the Stalker armor. (It’s either rare or uncommon) But the armor set I do want is the Centurion armor, (Pretty sure it’s mythic) which looks very cool to me.
I used to rock my rarest armor and then went thru what I have and found the charred recruit I think its called. It has flames and skulls on the shoulders. It looks bad -Yoink-, but its a common. I wish they had more like this one b/c for now I will be rocking common armor for the foreseeable future.

yea. but thats because people are abusing it. 343 intended people to play normally in a company to get it like the one i am is. not grind that companys balls of with a grindstone
