With most of the customization released now for halo mcc, what’s everybody’s favorite set of armor, new or old? My favorite set is probably the ODST armor in halo reach or the Macworld armor in halo 2 anniversary. I honestly really enjoy all the different customization combos I can do now.
I don’t really have an overall favorite set of armor. Only thing that I can really say is my favorite when it comes to a certain piece, and one which I’ll never remove for anything, is the haunted helmet.

The haunted helmet is iconic
I was very proud when I earned the right to buy it back in OG Reach. It’s a shame now how easy it is to get in the MCC but oh well.

I love how you needed to earn it back in reach. I am happy that it is easier to get in mcc, only because the mcc is supposed to be a collection of the games. Imagine if every unlockable from the vanilla games were locked how they were before. It would be exciting to try and earn them that way again, but I wouldn’t have the same amount of time now to get the haunted pilot helmet again.
EDIT: To clarify, I love challenges in games (and I mean real challenges like the haunted helmet, recon armor, or even the og zombie easter eggs in COD), but I stand by this collection allowing players to have full access to the customization.

Yeah I agree with your point completely and am definitely all for having all original forms of customization available to the player in the MCC. I was just looking at it from a comparison perspective being someone who went through the monumental task to achieve it. I guess having the memories created from the journey and the destination in the original will always stay with me, and is something that can’t be obtained so easily with the click of a button and the deduction of a seasonal point.

I see your point and I agree with it. The memories created from achieving great challenges can never be replaced

I really like the GRD helmet for reach and I rock that with some other armor that I can’t remember the name of (there’s like so many) and I also really like the Orion armor for H2A and the Prefect armor for Halo 4.

In most games I can’t really choose a favorite, but in H2A, the Orion set looks amazing. Every aspect of it is awesome. Completely outshines the H4ish sets, it’s not even a contest. I’m glad Infinite looks a lot better artstyle wise, but damn it really took 343 2 and a half games to finally nail the Halo look.

Don’t really have a favorite set, I love to make my own operative sets from a lot of the classic armor parts.
My favorite underrated set from only Halo 4 though is Oceanic, and I wish it’d come back, deep sea Halo always seemed like such a cool concept to me, also reminds me of Bioshock.
And I wish they’d un-butcher Gungnir and restore it to it’s Reach form, with the Visor eye, and the white stripe with the Gungnir symbol.

Kinda wish Orion was an option in ODST, but it’s 100% my favorite set in H2A
Halo 3 is essentially ALL the new Elite stuff, but for Spartans I love Compass surprisingly enough.
Halo 4 will never not be ODST
Halo Reach is only the restored content

Default. Seeing as how none of the armor actually does anything this is the best choice. Changing it only serves to waste time.
Oh back for more, huh?

The default armor is cool. Armor customization has always been and always will be about player preference on how their multiplayer spartan looked. That’s all. You are right in that the armor doesn’t necessarily “do” anything, but that doesn’t matter here in Halo as the choice to change how your spartan looks is simply how you want to express yourself in the game.
I have seen that you made this same argument in dozens of other forum posts. I do find it annoying that you keep making the same argument over and over again, sometimes in places you shouldn’t, but everybody is entitled to their own opinion, so I accept the fact that you dislike the armor customization in halo. And, technically, you are on topic for my forum post here.
Thank you for reading my Ted Talk lol

There is no customization; no matter what combination of armor you use it will not “customize” your gameplay experience at all. It quite literally does nothing. Actually…it may hinder you as larger armor may make you a bigger target and assist other players in hitting you. I don’t know if that’s true anymore but I clearly recall in halo 3 landing a plasma grenade on some stick that was on an opponent’s back and getting the kill - were the stick not there it would have missed and been ineffectual.
standard halo 3 Sangheili combat helmet. I like a lot of the new armor they added and swap the armor I use on my Elite’s body but I always keep the combat helmet. Its a classic (also the only one that the mandibles move on)
Favorite spartan cosmetic is the Reach operator helmet, cause it looks like Sam Fisher’s goggles
