I always thought the mech-augs from the Deus Ex series in general looked really bad-ass, especially the ones with armor plating.
Not so much armor as desert survival gear, but I really dig stillsuits. Cool concept behind them - wouldn't work in real life, but neither would most of the stuff in this thread :v: [IMG]http://w7acaj3pge9exjlo.zippykid.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/CostumeDune.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;47566638]Jousting armor weighed up to 100 pounds. Regular knightly armor was much lighter and extremely flexible. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlfrmCUGoKE[/media][/QUOTE] Imagine going stealth in that CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK
[QUOTE=Ignhelper;47567328]Imagine going stealth in that CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK[/QUOTE] [I]It was quiet that night. Too quiet. The soft, harmonious sound of clanking was the only thing we heard. It was comforting. Then, without warning, the knights were upon us. Coming from the trees. We were lambs to the slaughter. Private Winkles was the first. Head sliced right off by an errant bastard sword. After him was Corporal Masters; skull caved in by a pommel strike. Exploded like a watermelon. He loved watermelon. What a bloodbath. What were we fighting for.[/I]
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;47563721]always thought the trenchcoat combine looked considerably more oppressive than the ones we got in release. They should make a comeback if half life ever gets continued![/QUOTE] iirc the only reason they dropped the trenchcoats was because rigging the cloth physics alongside the animation skeleton proved too difficult. contributing with another fun design, proving Isaac's armor quirks work on damn near anything: [img]http://lvlt.bioware.cdn.ea.com/bioware/u/f/eagames/bioware/dragonage2/assets/gallery/screenshots/screenshot-12-isaac_armor-p.jpg[/img]
Speaking of Isaac, the Elite Advanced Suit from Dead Space 2. [t]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/deadspace/images/0/02/AdvancedRIG.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110205004414[/t] Truely the best suit Isaac can obtain, it's even on the front cover. Other than the awesome carbon fiber design, it boasts the maximum 25% damage resistance, the largest amount of inventory space, a 10% damage boost to all weapons, and a 15% longer duration to Statis freezing enemies. And just to top it off in case you're a fan of other suits, DS2 has a system that whatever suit you wear that has the largest damage resistance and inventory space will then apply to your weaker suits. Effectively you can run around in a [URL="http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/deadspace/images/0/0b/Hacker_RIG2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110209140916"]leather jacket and jeans with a gasmask[/URL] and still be as impervious.

I think Dead Space works a lot better when it's about some average engineer using his practical suit and a bunch of mining/labor tools as improvised weapons to survive than when it's about a guy who happened to stumble on an assault rifle and full military body armor who's here to kick ass as space rambo.

Helghast armor has always been one of my favorites. It just looks so damn effective. [IMG]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/killzone/images/d/d5/833425-helghast_troopers_killzone_2_4_.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130402033934[/IMG]

But Kasrkins start as meatshields when they're around 14, and if they do well they basically turn into Super Navy Seals.

Invulnerability to instant-death spikes, clinging onto walls and ceilings, jump SUPER high, and blasting laser-shirukens.

I'm not gonna bother posting a picture, but I like the armor designs in mass effect.
