Why did 343 changed the Nightfall armor?

The title actually speaks for it self.
The Nightfall armor changed drastically from the Halo 5 beta model. Im really disappointed about that change since the beta one looked way better. It just hat the straps and the pouches ,a more angular helmet and a overall very sporty and sleek look to it. In comparison the Nightfall armor in the finished game is just ripped straight auf of the show,with this weider and derpy looking helmet.

Halo 5Beta

I don’t like either of them tbh, bring back Reach’s ODST armour!

Yeah, it looked really good in the beta. Not sure why they changed it.

Halo 5 Beta

Halo 5

Eh I don’t like either of them

Guys this is 343’s ugly art style. Embrace it. The awesome era of ‘Halo’ style art is gone and now we have this new corny ugly era art style.

Do you have to look at the bad side for everything?

I’m guessing they changed it to look more like the one from the movie.

I agree beta one looked a lot better

It’s hard not be exposed to all the negativity, there’s just too much. I try to seek the positives but I just can’t find any. Seriously though if H4-5 looked and sounded like H2-3 I’d be fine with them no matter how bad they’d play… Serious.

The helmet looked too similar to Helljumper so they changed it

I’d still like an Actual ODST armor

Nightfall is nightfall, Helljumper is helljumper (A prototype armor, but for what?)

I’m talking about a full fledged ODST armor. And to those naysayers, “That’s too many variants of ODST” Well what do you call Mark IV-VI?

I agree with everyone suggesting 343 to make a real ODST armor, I’d love that.
Back to the topic at hand. Nightfall (in my opinion) is one of the best, most practical armors in Halo 5. I enjoy both styles, and I’d actually like if they brought back the old design as just another set of armor. I mean, it’s already designed, they just need to polish the design a little bit by adding textures.

Night fall looked terrible in the beta so they changed it by beffing up the armor and turning your helmet into a -yoinking- Lego…

Problem is ppl(/kids) look at video games as their life. That’s why there’s so much negativity. The ppl that only look at em as video games don’t have much time to get on here and post positive comments, or they’re busy enjoying the game they like. :slight_smile:

Now that helmet is ugly. Those puffy cheeks that helmet has is just dumb looking

It’d be cool if they made true ODST armor. Helljumper is closer than Nightfall for sure, but there are differences.

Honestly the first one LOOKS like a beta version. I’m glad they spent more time detailing it.

Nightfall, Noble Teams armors and Mark IV is all that you’ll see me in. Practical looking armors and their all based on classic sets.

The human-covenant war gave us the best looking armor. Especially this little known gem
