Subject: Halo 3 Armor - For Noobs Only?

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

By all means, I AM NOT trying too offend anyone who wears armor.

It seems to me that every one that wears armor is pretty much a noob. Usually people who are below a 45/50. I see people who wear recon at level 50, and I just shake my head. I have recon. Whats so great about it? I go into a MLG 50 game and everyone is cool. No noobs. People who just wear regular armor. Mark six.

Do you feel the same way? Explain.

Armor is for noobs look at MW2 no armor, no problem. But that's what plasmas for rite

I just wear the chest piece because it looks cool. I did the achievements because I beat all my other games and I wanted something to do.

I think the shoulder and the head are hideous. I replaced them with scout, my favourite armour.

Recon has smallest hitbox.

Most people who try hard are second accounts which means they have no armor. Thats why they use reg

Herping your derp.

How does an armor permutation affect skill level?

I think it's about time people start taking their heads out of their asses and stop -blam!-ing about whatever level people are.

If we were winning, we could be winning.

I worked hard to get my armor (other than hyabusa :|) and I wear it for that reason, plus I like the way my colors taste with my armor.

dont ask about my email name i made it when i was like 11, thinking about changing it.

I use the default armor as well.

I dunno why people care about what their doll looks like.

One thing I'd like to point out, is that I have played pros wearing Recon. I played Assault just after ODST came out, so I guess he was representing that he got it as soon as possible.


why should anyone care? your armor doesnt affect you. its all about how you play.

just the vast majority of people out there act 3 years old and want it because they dont have it.

Correct, because armor preference is directly correlated to player skill.

I honestly think that regardless of what rank you are or what your opinion is, here's mine: You shouldn't think differently of anyone based on armour permutations. Armour is not worth looking at to begin with but if someone wants to wear something that fits their physique then I honestly don't give two cents. It doesn't matter to me what other people wear and I really don't care what I wear either because what is this, sixth grade? Who is going to judge people based on armour permutations? A six year old, that's who.

It's only stupid if you try and get them, I just wear it if I've unlocked it by chance.

  • 08.18.2010 2:10 AM PDT

yea i always come on here seeing people complain about armor and whatnot..i got recon. i wear it because i wanted it, and earned it. i dont think im any better, or any cooler looking by any means than anyone else. its just personal choice..i dont look at someone and go "omgzz this guy haz rekon and katana he must be go0d"

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

I wear Scout because it looks sexy, I don't judge people on the armour either, unless there the kids who say there 'mlg' and wear Hayabusa w/ Katana, that's so awesome [/sarcasm]

  • 08.18.2010 3:55 AM PDT

Generally, better players don't care about armor, as they have no affect on the game.

I've been playing this game pretty much since the start, and i've never had someone tell me they're "MLG".

Where do you find these people?

Maybe it's just because the people i play with aren't retarded and realize you can't be a league.

Well i'm a 50 or General and i wear Mark 6 a lot but i just like the way it looks to be honest but i have worn like every type of armor there is (I wear Recon because i actually earned it) So i don't understand why its like that either wear all the higher rank people wear the standard armor like Mark 6. I love customizing my Spartan or Elite i have changed it a lot of times over the years. I think higher ranked people think there so cool to wear standard armor like the rest of them.
