Enzo gonna Enzo... The armour in 4 is awful. The only helmet I use is the Mark VI, the rest look so dumb.
Before launch I remember seeing a helmet that looked very similar to the Crysis nanosuit hemlet. Must have been cut because I dont see it anywhere. Not that I look anymore since i unlocked Mark VI...

I know this was a few pages back but it made me fucking lol
The old armors look so dated in Halo 4. Sticks out like an eyesore, just like the Halo 1 armor in Halo 3. You instantly look at it like DAMN that shit aged badly. I prefer to keep my rose tinted glasses son.
The worst bits of the 4 armor are the shoulders and abundant black areas, other than that the armor is fine.
When you look at the helmet from any other angle than this one:
It looks fine and the lines are akin to that of it's predecessors.
Fuuuuuuuuckkkk MC's armor is soooooo goood.
I like it more than what we had in H3 by a longshot. I wish it was in MP.
Falcons are actually in the mission "Reclaimer". RIP the bandwidth.
Noble Team is there too!

Even if Stockpile was at its core a good gametype (which it isn't), Bungie would've (and did) still kill it with the way they set up objectives on maps and the settings in the gametypes. It was so frustrating to see Bungie butcher objective gametypes game after game.
Then 343 saves the day with 30-40 second flag reset times on a map the size of a peanut.
sigh

Please stop discussing armor. Halo 4 armor looks terrible, Its been soulless armor pieces since Halo 3. Looks are not important. Lets make gameplay better.

That armor is terrible in design like each other design in the game. The worst part is that each armor has that crysis style look.

can we please refrain from saying that the armours have "aged", i mean it usually makes little sense but that sounds like a particularly ridiculous qualifier in this context when it's just aesthetics.
i'd say i probably like 3's vi most of all just because it's so damn sleek, halo 4's is ridiculous with its floaties shoulders and thong codpiece. helmet looks like a knockoff.
i will agree that wars' iv looks like shit tho.

Agree completely with bolded
I havent changed my armour in forever. Did way more in Reach.
Reach armour
Minus ridiculous shoulders
I mean seriously...
Look at that dumbass chest piece, H for Halo!!! And that helmet, seriously just Fuck Halo 3
Yeah the shoulder pads are so dumb.
Also Ezio, the MC armor in Halo 4 is one of the better new ones, shame it isn't in MP

The look of Master Chief and Cortana has improved through each iteration, especially Cortana. I can see why some will prefer other versions of the Chief though.

Going to have to disagree their Eagle.
Her Halo 2 design was the best in my book. Her face was.. weird in Halo 3 and when combined with her increased "sexiness" it was not my cup of tea.
Her Halo 4 model is both impressive and a little too blatantly naked.
The Chief's models are all fine, I have niggles with each, but ultimately like them all.
I do prefer 3's and feel it was a much more logical evolution of 2's than 4's was of any of them.

i'm more a fan of ce's cortana, love that short hair.
i don't have much of an opinion on 3's, but in 2 her face was busted.

Step forward then. The build is different, the helmet is shaped slightly different and the main Spartan model really looked just beautiful in MP.
Really? I definetely feel the opposite about the faces.

Desaturation completed.

I have to disagree. I thought 2s MP model looked the best. 3s cartoony, tripping on acid, bright ass colours, super shiny like someone just waxed and polished the armour look was just shitty.
If anything Halo 3s MP would match the whole Infinity holodeck thing because the armour was too fucking clean and shiny.

Fuck Halo 3
Scout is by far the worst helmet to ever grace the series. I don't understand what the fuck people see in it.Agree completely with bolded

Also looking at the Halo 3 armor in that picture, I just hate the gloss they gave the shit in cutscenes. Just everything about that image makes it looks like a next gen testing ground for effects and turns me off.

Some Halo 3 armor is cool, some sucks.
Some Halo Reach armor is cool, some sucks.
Some Halo 4 armor is cool, some sucks.
Chief's armor always looks good.
I may be MIA until Thursday as 2K finally sent me Bioshock Infinite. Woot.

Nothin' says Halo like grenukes, shitty DMR, and Spartans moving in molasses.

reach does not have better multiplayer than 3,only 4. 4 is the worst and 3 is not equal to it,that is a disgrace to say such a thing.

Halo was never a fast paced game.
Never said it was, but 5 shotting dudes (if you were lucky) was easy as hell in default. Plus avoiding rockets/grenades was near impossible.

1v1 Chiron Shotties. Get on my level.
I know! It's crazy. Halo 4 might have some GLARING flaws, but at least the core gameplay is good.
Spartan Lasers, 50% gravity, 300% movement speed, Hemmorhage. I'll be waiting.

Halo 3 Armor had Security and the Katana. Otherwise it blew hard.
Oh, and ODST. ODST in Halo 3 and Reach were awesome. 343 I am disappoint you didn't put it in Halo 4.

But the glaring flaws are going to stay there on purpose because random power weapons are Halo now.

I'd poop on you with those settings.
Also its a shame cause you dont get to play the core gameplay in Halo 4...
I might poop on you with those settings.
But that seed was planted with Reach.
Thanks Obungie.
C-come at m-me d-dude!! Me and m-my c-clan, the 420 Spartan S-Squad will wreck y-... uh... you!!!
Also you do get to play the core gameplay in Halo 4. The first minute of the game is somewhat tolerable. Throwdown is good, I just get thrashed every time lol.

Core was good in Reach,at least it felt something like a Halo game.
Halo 3 was great. Core gameplay was solid,forge and films.

True.
343 had a perfect chance to go back to awesome Halo. But no we just have to get this weird ass Halo-CoD baby, minus the spectator mode and ranks.
And I hate to play the devil's advocate here, but judging by all the awesome cut content that was found in Halo 4, I'd say the game was severely rushed.
RIP ODST.
