I have several thoughts on the armours in Halo 5, and most of, if not all of them, are things that 343 can improve on now, if they have the time of course to improve the armour in the game and how it can fit in smoothly with Halo 5 currently as it is.
First off, the lighting on the armour, not the lights, the armour itself. It randomly just gives off a glow in the dark vibe since the character’s armour glows brighter than a glow stick, which should be the lights on the armour’s job to give away the person’s position when hiding in a dark corner or area that gives the person an advantage. Lights on the armour should have a brighter glare instead to replace that unneeded glow off the armour plates and the character.
Second off, the amount of customisation of armour should be lifted for more options, like a merge of Reach and Halo 4’s customisations put together so that you can customise more of the armour and have more options, along with some effects and other misc you can put on your character, like having a built in crown on your Spartan helm, or a custom emblem on a plate of armour, or a cloak over the shoulder, maybe be able to customise your own visor with colours (and perhaps glowing colours) and specific pieces of armour can have a custom emblem and pattern the player can make or use. Perhaps as a bonus, do what DOOM did and make the armour look shiny and brand new or dirty and war torn.
And last of all, variants of armour + miscellaneous add on for armour pieces, like having a gas filter, com link, camera, etc and so on that can also be customisable like the armour itself.
And last message, bring back credits and tasks for unlocks back, I’m lonely.
Anyways what do you, the reader, think should be done for the armour? Like should we get the option to have more options for customisation or something?
If 343 combined Reach’s armour customization with an armour skin editor, I’d be thrilled! 
I agree having more customization options would be so amazing and it would help to make every players spartan look even more unique. Like you mentioned halo reach had the armor effects like the lighting bolts, hearts etc. So the other options you mentioned wouldn’t be very far fetched.I for one would love to have a cloak on my spartan and the other options like glowing colors, armor condition etc. and i miss the player emblem being on the armor. it made my spartan look even more unique and made me look like i had my own insignia or something. Another option that would be nice is to be able to change the color on the armor like you can in DOOM. Plus the more customization options that are available the more likely players will buy REQ packs since they’ll have more incentives to do so. I would even consider buying packs myself and i never buy packs. or Have these customization items be unlock able through in game currency and challenges like in Halo Reach and 4. 343 could take advantage of that fact to get more players to buy packs which they clearly want and it would improve the game. Also they should bring back the ability to mix use different shoulders, legs, fore arms. etc
I really doubt they’re gonna add any more customization systems to H5 but I’m hopeful that H6 will be much better. They have to have heard everyone by now lol

343i decided that making Spartans glow would prevent them from hiding in dark areas of maps. I don’t agree with their decision because it makes their already funky-looking armor appear even worse.
