Holy fuck why.
[QUOTE=Wickerman123;50081429]Holy fuck why.[/QUOTE]
you know all those flat forerunner metal panels that look kinda the same? Every piece of geometry is actually a differently texture:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/eD2PxNA.png[/t]
On top of that, my editor reads "darkened" or "lightened" variants are seperate materials, so there's effectively 3x as many materials as there should be
Well I know that most of the detail you see is faked with normal maps but jesus christ there are so many. Why are you doing this to yourself?
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50080744]Isn't there like 150 armour sets? only 10 look good.[/QUOTE]
Your bias opinion is not fact. Half of these armors were around in Bungie era....... Grow the fuck up already. This isn't Bungie's Halo anymore, there's influence from across the gaming industry, accept it and stop bitching over nothing.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;50075903]If anything the smart scope (which isn't actually exactly how they phrased it would be the year previous) is mostly just an additional little bonus for all weapons. Usually games that have ADS tend to make their weapons useless in hip fire / spray, but Halo 5 just sort of has it 'there' for those who want to be a little more accurate without fucking up the weapon balance by making them wildly inaccurate without it.[/QUOTE]
bringing this old convo back, I feel like this Halo 5's 'ADS' is how all game ADS should behave. It shouldn't feel like a completely different weapon just because you moved your head.
Also, it opened up some possibilities for some creative cool zoom designs on weapons that don't have optics. When I saw the AR zoom for the first time, the purist in me wanted to hate it, but then I remembered purists are worthless creative parasites and I killed that part of me.
I think Halo 5's system and Insurgency's system are way more valid ways to approach aiming down weapon sights than the Battlefield/Cod method.

To be fair, Liquid Development and Airborn Studios have wildly different styles than 343's in-house artists, which causes a huge discrepancy between armor sets.

Agreed.

Yes! And thanks to Halo Reddit I learned this.

Halo 3 armour customisation was really bad. A lot of the parts looked awful or silly, and this isn't even with including things like the Katana. I mean I look back on it and think "I used to wear [I]this?!?[/I]
Now, reach had a few bad pieces, but on the whole was such a massive improvement. It spoiled us. I Think if we didn't have Reach as the standard, and just went from Halo 3 to 4 and 5, we'd be looking at the armour given to us a lot more favourably.

Bug fixes, Tweaks, & Cleanup:
Fixed issues where objects would become almost completely black when placed under certain conditions
Fixed an issue that would prevent Forgers from being able to save a map until they restarted Halo 5: Guardians
Fixed a bug where objects would randomly rotate when opening the objects property menu
Objects moved via scripting will respect, “Reset Object Position” commands
Fixed bugs surrounding welding, especially when welding to animated machines (i.e. pistons)
Fixed Magnets for Wall 2x64x4 base variant
Fixed various object LOD (level of detail) issues
Fixed dimensions of some grav volumes that were intended to be wider than tall, and vice versa
Fixed magnets on some grav volumes
Grav volumes can no longer be selected from the top, making it easier pick up objects inside them
Fixed an issue with Phased/Fixed crates despawning incorrectly
Crates despawned via scripting now correctly respawn on “Respawn All Objects”
Locked objects can no longer be accidentally deleted
Fixed an issue that caused FX to stop working after the first round in round based game types
Fixed an issue where changes to a script’s properties wouldn’t take effect right after changing the script’s type
Fixed an issue where opening the object properties menu, rotation edit is applied and is incorrect
Added length, width, and height organization to Shields and Grav volumes to help organize the increased quantity of those objects
One-way and Two-way shields respawn time can now be adjusted with the respawn properties. NOTE: All previously placed shields will no longer respawn unless updated. To replicate original behavior, set respawn timer to 10 seconds (default)
All objects in props>exploding now do consistent damage when destroyed
Fixed an issue that caused weapons and power ups to block players when set to Phased or Fixed[/QUOTE]

Have you ever gone to a 7/11 and made a cherry slushy? Then thought "hey what if I add more flavors?" Eventually you loose the cherry taste and if you keep adding you get something that's not cherry at all and it taste like shit.

The only think that bothers me about the Halo 3 armor is that if you use the Mark V, ODST, or Rogue helmet your neck is not properly attached to the Spartan's body. It's really noticeable on the ODST helmet when you die, just spin the camera around and look at the base of the neck to see what I'm talking about.

There's that too. Its one of my favorite helmets but I refuse to use it because of those two issues. I've also noticed that the Mark V might also be a bit too big. But that wouldn't really have been an issue if they had the full armor set in the game.

Yeah but you could kind of make it by using the EOD chest and ODST shoulders.
I wish I could just buy whatever helmet and armour I want in Halo 5 so I don't have to keep getting armour I hate.
imo we need less variants of the same armor and more unique sets... And less out sourcing for armor designs.
[editline]6th April 2016[/editline]
On the other hand maybe 343i should look into Certain Affinity for armor designs seeing as Doom is looking pretty Halo-y.
honestly the biggest issue with 343i era armour is how its just two layers. its just the undersuit then the armour chunks stuck on, while Bungie era armour looked like it was multiple layers that all made a single suit of armour. It just looked more real. 343i even at its best still looks very weightless, fake, and toylike to me. its why stuff like the Halo 4 MKV looks so bad. While its easier to design different complete armour sets, the overall design of the armour takes a hit. I noticed with the Reach armours in that teaser though that they seem to be adding more of that thickness and layering back into those sets.

The only good thing about Hayabusa was the shoulders, and even then that was a guilty pleasure. Samurai-esque armor doesn't really have a visual place in Halo, I don't think.
The others I didn't mind really (EOD was my favourite) and I think The Jack is right about Reach - it was really the best in terms of armor quality.

Good God that's a mess
I see it a bit like this
[quote]
"So, Company that makes us spartan armour"
"-Yes?"
"This is the UNSC, We need some new suits that look good"
"Ah, yes, we've been looking on some improvements since that. We're still having one suit as expensive as a frigate, right?"
"Well, actually, we've been thinking. 343 have been talking to us and we think individuality is far more important than cost. I mean we've won the war so we've got money to waste. Could you skip mass production and give us a thousand different designs?"
"But our field testing dictates that at least nine hundred and seventy six of these are less effecient than the remaining for the tasks you selected"
"Nah,Nah, Give us a thousand, Each more fabulous than the last. Show off that body too, superhuman's have great bodies"
"...."
"We have a lot of money"
"deal"
[/quote]
tbh if it can get past your shields then I don't think any amount of personal body armor will save you.
