[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;35264485]You're forgetting that nearly all armor suits in games have similar 'realism issues' as the spartan armor in Halo.[/QUOTE] I know, doesn't make the spartan any less stupid. The HEV is the same, though partially forgiven for not being a combat armor. Crysis armor is a major sinner in this case. I just dislike the aestethics of the Halo one the most. And possibly also the fanboys, who, thankfully, have died down a lot.
Biggest realism problem with suits in games is the power source and basic laws of physics (your suit just survived slamming into a concrete wall at 400m/s, leading to you slamming into your suit at the same speed, congratulations you are dead, no matter what bullshit material your suit is made of). Or super lightweight suits that enable you to send people flying with a single punch, completely ignoring the fact that you'd be flying in the opposite direction almost as fast.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;35264573]Glorious. [t]http://i43.tinypic.com/e9ax5c.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] That armour might not be the most practical (then again maybe you don't really care about such things when you can make a star eating god your bitch), but damn it's sexy.

Also Death's Hand had a pretty cool armour as well: [img]http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Deaths-Hand-jade-empire-605827_450_338.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=aurum481;35262746]Functional AND scientific [img]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/10597/318337-gordon_freeman.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] If we're talking only aestethics, this armor kicks ass. Specially with the helmet. If we're talking function too, this armor fucking rocks. It deflects the combine dark energy balls that would normally turn you into a black floating ragdoll and instead deals only[B] 15 damage[/B] to the user.

[IMG]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/05/heavytribes.jpg[/IMG] Tribes Ascend's Heavies look like more mobile, slightly anime-ized WH40K Power Suits Worst armor? Half of Mass Effect's stuff. It looks weak and skintight and shit.

[QUOTE=MajorMattem;35262393][img]http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/b/b5/Stormtrooper_armour.jpg[/img] Some of my favourite armour, just because its from star wars. If it wasnt for how iconic it was it would be shit armour.[/QUOTE] Not very good seeing as they all die after getting shot once,
Here are some from Fire Emblem, though not all of them are practical protection. The Black Knight: [img]http://images.wikia.com/fireemblem/images/4/43/Fepr-Blackknight.jpg[/img] Ike as a Vanguard (Can't find a decent full-body shot) [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090516063753/fireemblem/images/0/0c/IkeFE10Portrait_Vanguard.png[/img] Zelgius [thumb]http://fireemblemblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/zelgius2.jpg[/thumb]
[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12163556/bet-on-soldier-nolan-vs-igor.jpg[/IMG] Realistic to an extent, but also quite functional and modifiable if one has the time according to the story. Heck half to good BOS fights, they have some sort of overpowered as fuck shield generator you don't have...

[img]http://www.craiglotter.co.za/images/20081107_Jin-Roh.gif[/img] Is always nice-looking and scary. Same with the Helgast armor, which I can't help but to think is heavily based on this, especially given the Helgast GPMG is a MG42.

If it wasnt for how iconic it was it would be shit armour.[/QUOTE] I know I might get flamed for this, but I actually really despise this design.. It looks like crap to me.. The head is all goofy looking.. And the intricate detail on the face doesn't match the smooth design around most of the body.. Everything just looks like clunky like pieces of plastic held together with duct tape. Even the random boxes and panels around the body just look out of place and random. I personally found most of the Mass Effect armors fucking glamorous.

I really do like GDI's ICS suit. [t]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100222174407/cnc/images/c/c0/CNCT_Final_Concept_ICS.jpg[/t] Also, The nanosuit 1 is sexy as shit. [t]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100102202620/crysis/images/d/db/960x0_11.jpg[/t]

[img_thumb]http://www.itsartmag.com/features/embassydistrict9/d9_still_04.jpg[/img_thumb] That district-9 power suit, if it counts.
The Black Knight armor from Dark Souls looks pretty intimidating. [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/6208935401_72a42c6ea4.jpg[/IMG]
