When you need someone who is at least half-decent at Halo, I'm your guy.

Head: EOD/CNM: Less decapitation with a command network module. Why not?
Shoulders: ODST: Full protection that doesn't look dumb.
Chest: HP/PARAFOIL: Knife replace and an Airfoil Carapace part I may soon find.
Wrist: TACTICAL/TACPAD: It holds my iHud on it.
Utility: TACTICAL/Trauma Kit: If a soldier was dying on the field, I'd be a Good Guy Greg and heal him to the best of my abilities.
Knee Guards: FJ/PARA: Full protection and minimal weight. Plus, it prevents leg displacement, but that's not labeled.
Visor Color: Blue: It's a polarization.
Preferred Armor Ability: Armor Lock (yes, yes, I'm a noob.)
Best Weapon(s): DMR, M6G Magnum

Primary Color: White
Secondary Color: Ice

I wear these armor components because they provide a good amount of protection on the battlefield, as well as a pipeline to Command in case of greater dangers that need the right kind of mortar fire I need. I pace my shots with the DMR, shoot them up close and personal with the Magnum, and stab the unknowing with a good knife to the body. If there is anything that I can defend against that is huge, it wold be Armor Lock on a charging Mongoose/Ghost/Revenant (if I'm lucky on the Revenant), or take out the Scorpion/Wraith, board it, then melee like a madman.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Head: Gungnir 2nd attachment (I like to think that my spartan uses the scopes on the helmet for sniping rather than the rifle scope.)

Left Shoulder: Gungnir
Right Shoulder: Sniper rounds
Chest: Tactical/ Patrol
Wrist: GPS
Utility: Softcase for more ammo
Knee Guard: Gungnir
Prefered Ability: Evade or Dropshield

So basically I am a Gungnir sniper.

I don't use armour for any particular reason I stay with what looks good and I love this combination, it appeals to me quite a lot and I have worn this for a solid 3-4 months, or something along the lines of that.
Anyway good thread. Thumbs up ;P

Your resident explosives and heavy ordinance expert, at your service.

Helmet - CQB
Left Shoulder - UA/Security Base
Right Shoulder - Operator
Chest - Assault/Sapper
Wrist - Tacpad
Visor Color - Black
Utility - UA/whatever it is called that the marines always wear
Kneeguards - Gungnir
Preferred Ability - Sprint
Best Weapon - DMR/Needle rifle

I chose this armor configuration because I think it suits how I play. Slim lightweight armor that fits close to the body for maximum mobility and speed, while still providing fair protection. I play by remaining mobile and aggressive and resorting to shock and awe. I'll sprint towards you and then spam grenades at you before engaging you directly. I don't even care if the grenades fail to damage you in any way, they are simply to announce my arrival. I also chose a nice bright yellow as my armor color because I want you to see me coming.

I usually play Living Dead or SWAT and I'm not really into any of the playlists that are actually "competitive" so, I based my armor around the idea of my character being a veteran of the zombie apocalypse. The Military Police helmet with the breathing apparatus comes from those SOPMOD/Gas-mask get ups you see soldiers wear in zombie movies. It would protect me if the virus ever went airborne and the black visor would not reflect as much light as the other visor colors, thus concealing me during the daytime. The Security shoulder in combination with the UA/Bracer acts as an impenetrable shield protecting my left arm from zombie bites. The Collar/Breacher chest is self explanatory since the most popular weapon of a zombie apocalypse would be a shotgun; therefore I have shotgun shells plus, the collar protects my neck from bites as well. The robotic arm is a sign that my right arm was bitten and had to be amputated and replaced. The Sniper shoulder and the Tactical/Soft Case were used to add to the idea that I'm more of a lone wolf, so I carry spare ammo and supplies with me. My knee guards are more of a personal preference because to me, all the other knee guards look kinda ugly.

Gungnir helmet, not sure of the rest. Pick it because it's a sniping helmet, with multiple Norse references. Plus I have never heard anyone pronounce it right, so that's entertaining.

I have

Gold Visor for Security helmet. because I can fly planes and I think it looks like a old veitnam pilots helmet.

Security shoulder. Because I get lots of assasinations

Mark V shoulder because I love the past halo.

the rest of my armor changes frequently.
