Subject: What armor do you wear and why?

Bungie is 10 seconds too quick to close a thread,
but 10 years too late to answer our questions;

Silly question, but I know some people wear certain armor because it looks cool to them, some do it because the color makes it look good, and some do just to show off their rank while there are also few who customizes their Spartan to represent how they play.

To begin, I'll use an example from me as an example of what I'm talking about.

Head: Hazop(Basic)
Left Shoulder: Hazop
Right Shoulder: Hazop
Chest: Tatical/Recon
Wrist: Tatical/Tacpad
Utility: Default
Knee Guard: FP/Para
Prefered Ability: Camoflauge
Best Weapon(s): Pistol
----

I wear these armor components because much to the Hazop's description, I am very good at handling things in and out of 'hazardous' eviorments. Wether it is Grenade Spam, or the Soft Kill Bondaries, I know when to strike and when to take cover. I am always a croucher, making sure I go undetected by using Camoflauge to disorient my targets, although I don't sit around for the full effect because their jammed radar works just fine for me. I use the Pistol because shooting once and then hiding, I can throw off my target, allowing him to waste ammo shooting at nothing while I wait for him to reload before killing him.

I like people like you. Actually having a CLASS and wearing armor that suits their skills. Not like BKs who wear the sniper shoulders even though they suck at sniping.


For me, it's a little different.

Helmet: Gold EVA because I'm bold. I'm always getting the enemies attention and then leading them into a grenade trap.

Left shoulder: Grenadier (I'm good at avoiding grenades)
Right shoulder: Operator (There's that symbol that looks like 4 arrows pointing to a head) I'm good with precision weapons and the laser.

Chest: Commando (I always seek out for extra ammo)

Wrist: UGPS (I always look at my radar)

Utility: Softcase (I always seek out for extra ammo)

Prefered AA: Sprint and Camo

Best weapons: DMR, Shotgun, GL

I chose my armor because it is what I think the character Noble Six would wear.

I like your colors for some reason... Black and yellow seem to go well together.

I use to wear the Gungnir Helmet because I loved the Mythology behind it. I still wear it sometimes and it fits my personality as the main person rushing for Laser and always aiming for the one shot kill. Since getting into Mythic and now Eclipse I switch it for Grenadier simply because I think it looks nice and it fits on the female Spartan body well.

Other than the two helmets I don't change anything else because I like my Spartan to be less bulky as possible so either default shoulders or sniper.

I rarely play Matchmaking these days but back in my active days, when I wasn't able to dodge grenades and stuff, I always died via Grenade Spam or Couldn't use the bloom correctly..

What does K/D got to do with anything anyway? :(

I change mine from recon to eva. I always have my blue vizor on and my flames

"When Embarking the journey of revenge you should dig 2 graves" -Confucious. Also I like firefight not for the credits but for fun. Also like Campaign but I don't play it that much. Favorite Weapon: Battle Rifle and Light Rifle.

Head: Mark VI fci-(2)
Left Shoulder: Commando
Right Shoulder: Security
Chest: Collar/Breacher
Wrist: Tatical/Tacpad
Utility: NXRA
Knee Guard: FP/Para
Prefered Ability: Sprint, evade
Best Weapon(s): DMR, Conncusion Rifle, and warthog Machine gun
Tech specalist use everything I got. Marksman and CQC combat try to use the latest tech to comunicate with other teammates.
Sprint to in to battle quickly. Evade to dodge. Excellent gunner and excellent pilot. I strick fast and move quickly or sometimes stay.

Head: Security (UA/HUL)
Left Shoulder: Security
Right Shoulder: Security
Chest: UA/Base Security
Wrist: Tatical/UGPS
Utility: Trauma Kit
Knee Guard: GUNGNIR
Preferred Ability: Sprint

Why: The Marathon reference. The helmet is the same helmet as from Marathon, the name "Security" is from Marathon, and the description of the Base Security chestpiece "Bringing grenades to a gunfight." sort of relates to part of the Vidmaster, where you pledge "to never shoot where I could use grenades." That, and I think it looks nice. I wore Security in Halo 3, too. I never played much Marathon, but what I did play I liked.

That is why I wear it.

I'm the opposite of those elitists (SilkenDA CHIEF) who believe everyone should wear "class armor" to show what they're best at. I wear what I think looks best. I equipped my spartan with sniper rounds, shotgun shells, and a utility pack so in my own little fictional world he would be ready for whatever role he needs to play instead of being limited to one. I would have added grenades to the chest too, but I think they just look awful. So on the left side he has all of the ammo and on the right side no ammo, just armor on his shoulder to protect the trigger arm. The helmet I just picked because I like it the best. Yep.

By the way, SilkenDA CHIEF, I'm HORRIBLE at sniping.

pilot 3rd attachment.
collar breacher robot arm
gold visor
default shoulder for robot arm
sniper shoulder for other arm
para knee pads
bracer for my wist
nxra for my utility

i like going for a sleek but hmm...tasteful look.
plus it signifies me. im a sniper/support. hence forth my sniper shoulder and pilot head.

  • 05.12.2011 8:53 PM PDT

Default, because I couldnt be bothered. No disrespect to all of you who like customizin and all that. I'm just not in to it..
