Halo has always given players control over their appearance, and Bungie once said that the additional options introduced in Halo 2 (specifically emblems) were added to give players a visual identity online.
Do you have a consistent appearance throughout each game? Or do you choose what looks best in each game?

Since Halo 2, I have used the lightning bolt emblem - was super sad to see it disappear in Halo 4 and then go in a totally different direction in Halo 5 (RNG emblems, really??).
I generally like Mark VI or EOD as my armor set.
Kirby Emblem, that and when it’s available Gungnir and EOD helmet.
In my opinion it is a service tag that defines you rather than an emblem (or a nameplate). As mentioned above me, emblems can eventually disappear but services tags will remain a thing for years to come I would imagine. I will always have Mat as my service tag because, well, that’s my name.
I usually just pick W59 for a service tag because it was issued to me by Bungie when I first started Halo 3. I have kept it through each Halo but the only difference is I added a 2 to the end because in a couple of games you needed four characters so I usually use W59 or W592. As far as an emblem goes I used to always use the grunt with a cowboy hat but now I mix it up and use something different.
I always used the hawk emblem from H2 . Black or gray armor color. H3 I didn’t play a lot of so it didn’t matter . Reach ,H4 and H5 I’ve returned to the CQB helmet but dropped the hawk emblem for the hawk name, Now with H5 I wear Gold visor Intruder trespasser armor . My favorite Spartans were from Grey team and I tried to model my armor like there’s
Consistent up until 4 and 5, I’m light blue/Cobalt/ice and always have been in 1,2,3 and reach with default/minimal armor.
Halo 4&5 I’m silver or grey with the operator helmet and small armor, specifically ‘breaker’ in h5.
i often change armors, somehow i don’t like halo5’s armors and i can’t find one that looks good to me

My emblem will change all the time depending on what our squads feeling on that day, but my service tag will always be GO96. It’s just my initials with the year I was born, but it’s recognisable enough when you need to find me in game.
Its typically different every game, and I change it frequently in which ever game I’ve been playing a lot of, but there’s some aspects I like to use in most of my looks like the black and green color combos and usually a mark v helmet. Any time I change my color though I like having extreme contrast between my colors. The one thing I wont ever change though is my halo 5 emblem, the needle emblem with black background, purple dude, and light green crystals.
Different game to game
Prior to Halo 4, I tended to give myself white and blue coloration (501st Legion colors) or did my best to remake SPI armor that was worn by Spartan-IIIs. Now I basically go blue with a silver visor and the EVA helmet. Guess I’m Cobra Commander now lol.
I go with Scout helmet with soldier armor with white primary and red secondary.
I have always tried to keep a consistent look between games when possible. This mostly comes through with the colors (Pri: Maroon/Red Sec: Gunmetal). Though I am all red in H5 due to how the body applies color.
The other thing I always go for is the helmet, which I try to always make ODST. Reach was my first Halo and since the ODST was one of the initial unlocked ones, I wore it and have always worn it since (Even have a real one!). I wear it in 3, Reach, 4 and 5 (I have worn both Nightfall and Helljumper). I also use it when I can in MCC, but only 3 and Reach have it.
I mainly go for a “bulky” look, big chest and shoulders. I was so happy when we got Indomitable in Halo 5 since that with Helljumper was basically my Reach spartan.
My appearance was all over the place until I settled for the Reclaimer/Marathon symbol, Recon helmet, and a blue and black color scheme.
H3: Mark VI
H R: look up Sev from Rise of The Spartans
H4: Locus from Rvb
H4: Mark IV colored to look like Jerome
Really wish that they put more stuff out there.
In terms of armor, I always use the Mark VI helmet. I’d like to keep using my emblem more consistently, but it keeps getting removed. I use the Hawk emblem with the two swords behind it, and I was able to in Halo 2, 3, and ODST. Reach drops, they remove my emblem. I switch to the Sol emblem for Reach, Halo 4 drops, they remove the Sol emblem and the Hawk still hasn’t returned. MCC drops, Hawk is back and all is well. Halo 5 drops, the Hawk, YET AGAIN, has been removed, and then a little less than a later, the Sol comes out for Halo 5.
I usually go off of what looks best to me which is usually the same which is a simple but cool looking helmet, and a bulky armor, I halo 4 I really messed around with the emblems, same in reach, in halo 5 for armor I either go mark v delta helmet and noble or wrath armor with the Emile emblem.
H3: Mark v
HR: Mark v with mostly Emile body
H4: Mark VI for everything except venator torso
H5: Mark v delta with noble
All with black and blue coloration
