The only one I haven't finished yet is kill an enemy Spartan that is clambering. Still need 26 more, such an odd commendation.

So are they going to give us more color options for the armor now?
Those ground textures tho lol. .

Come back when you have Unstoppable and Against All Odds.
Halo 6 will be out before that.

We already have armors with locked-in colorations (e.g. permanent yellow stripes on a Foehammer variant), so I have to imagine Jun's uses baked-in color settings for the scarf and sniper ammo brace thing and then primary for upper body, which gradates into secondary on the lower body.
Those look terrible... And 343-esque

It's not the same without the robotic arm. I wonder why they didn't do it.

Not really.
They should do Memories of Halo 4. We can have OP Boltshot shotgun again.

I'm hoping its a gun and not a turret. So you can't drop it and you can fire from first person.

Yeah, given Jorge lugged it around with no penalties to movement or turning speed, I think having a first-person turret weapon would give it enough of a unique edge over the other turrets to actually be viable.

They're probably just using the same base black suit model as the other armors use.

5 may have some really bad looking armors, but now that they added Reach they have a nice selection of good armors as well. Now if only Mk V alpha didn't look like a turd.
Hahaha oops. That's one way to do it.

It would be cool if his turret was in 1st person. I'd probably never use it otherwise.

I think it's the oversaturation of re-used armor/helm that is the issue.
Here is an example: Helmet - Athlon
Out of all the 214 helmets available, these alone count for 6 of them. This practice is used across multiple types of helmets.
I would have hoped to have an unlock process per helm/armor instead of them being another tick off the checklist out of the pool of Reqs.
IDK though, haven't thought about the implications or anything.

Reach's situation was more modular in that it was giving you the ability to use multiple torso "builds" (e.g. added bandoliers, robo-arms, etc. and not just armor) while Halo 5 exclusively sticks to helmets and armor for variations with no modifications made to the undersuit. Giving the Air Assault suit a robot arm would require a completely new undersuit thing to be made, which hasn't been done with virtually any of the other armor sets.
Athlon's the only one with that many variations, and nearly all of them are commons to begin with.

It's certainly a problem. It wouldn't be a big deal if you could actually make out the lines/patterns. If you're more than 5 feet away from the spartan, the lines just look like washed out blobs or are otherwise jaggy.

If REQs return in Halo 6 i hope they change that up a bit. And please get rid of ugly helmets like scanner, recluse, legionnaire, defender,
Whatever the fuck this thing is:
etc...

ayy lmao
I get that they need to make buying REQs enticing, so make the pool bigger and bigger but it sure doesn't make for a satisfying reward system a lot of the time. I don't think I've opened many packs and actually been excited about what I unlocked.
Hopefully if it carries on to H6 it gets worked on.

Its a unibrow with a frown face.
Looks more like Crysis got hit with a rainbow than anything Halo.

Decimator looks much better from other angles, although in general I find the visor indentations to be way too baroque (Reach started it, though.)
Probably one of my favorite helmets though looks horrifying from the side and back (Viper) so I can't bring myself to wear it. One day ODST and/or Mk IV will be mine and I'll be happy tho.
🤔whaaaat
There are SOME interesting ones (none you listed) But it's mostly random white lines.

I think the coolest part about these armors is their unique Thrusting animations. Hope some parts open and close when your thrusting/sprinting/groundpounding.

The thrusters on certain sets are awesome and really make the sets. The anubis thrusters are awesome and really lock the look in. One of the first things that I unlocked at launch and stuck with for a long ass time.

Halo 5 armour will never look good as long as coloured undersuits is a thing.
That is my biggest wish for Halo 6.

I didn't notice it until i was waiting to respawn watching teammates sprint and etc. It was a nice touch of detail for sure. I think some amor legs have little thrusts on the feet and others dont.
whaaaat
Did they update this one to actually show visor colors, or is it still just white light coming out of those lines instead?
