This is something that has frustrated me since Halo 4 (what wasn’t frustrating abount that game anyway?) and has continued on through H5. Why is there not an exact model of Master Chiefs armor in H5 available in multiplayer? I know they have the “Mark VI” armor in the multiplayer but it is NOT like Master Chief’s armor in the campaign… The campaign armor has some slight differences on the helmet, the shoulders are completely different and the chest piece is not the same either. The multiplayer helmet is probably the closest thing to the Chiefs armor in campaign that we have.
Other than that, The next closest thing we have in multiplayer that resembles Chiefs actual armor in H4/H5 is Fred’s chest piece and shoulders. But those have some variances as well. I know it’s not a big deal and im sure some people may argue that the armor should only be Chiefs armor and no one else’s, and that’s understandable… But I would still love to have MC’s actual armor. I don’t think I’d ever change it if I had it cause in my opinion, his armor looks cooler and more practical than pretty much any other armor in the multiplayer.
I’d also like to see Jorge’s chest piece from Reach come back too, that shoulder Pauldron was pretty dope.
Likely the same reason we’ve never had true Chief Green or his Visor: half the community would just end up using it, because EVERYONE LOVES THE CHIEF. For some reason.

Jorge’s exact armor is coming back in the Memories of Reach update, asymmetrical shoulders and the Pauldron all included.

I understand not including his modified Mark VI because of lore reasons, but I don’t understand not including a true olive drab/military green color. That’s not “Chief’s color”, it’s the UNSC’s standard armor color.

Well, technically the Standard coloration for Spartan-IV’s is Black and Yellow-Orange with the Blue Recruit Visor, but I see your point. Halo 5’s colors are fantastic, but I think they need just one more darker shade for each of the hues.

This. If moss was darker and a bit more washed out, it might be a contender. Right now most armor colors are just too vibrant to begin with.

What I do notice is there almost exact model of armor for Spartan Locke since day one of Halo 5 in multiplayer. Who knows maybe 343 completely forgot to create and have a Halo 5 version of the character that gave Halo a story and a journey.

I don’t think there’s actually a standard S-IV coloration. Pretty sure those Spartans in Halo 4 campaign were colored that way for simplicity. It seems odd that literally all the S-IVs you meet in the campaign are wearing Recruit armor, too, so I doubt they were trying to make a canon statement with that coloration.
Yea the Mythic variation of the Mark VI (supposedly Chief’s armor) kinda looks gross. Not the cool kinda gross, either. I do prefer grittier armors, but in this case Halo 5’s other Mark VIs look far better when compared to the Mythic one.

Er, Mark IV [GEN1] and Mark VI [GEN1] Scarred are almost the same as Mark VI [GEN2] and its skins. Aside from the additional groin armor on the GEN1, the two are the same.

That looks surprisingly close to his actual armor.

This, I like the olive drab. Not because it’s what Master Chief has but because it’s the standard colour.

I got some bad news regarding the color. It doesn’t matter what color they add with the lighting filters being what they are. Let me show you something. Every one of these shots are with the same armor and same color (moss on moss).

That looks really good actually. Nice combination!
