Subject: why do so many ppl wear full mark 6?

Like others has stated, MLG armor but as well as


Hit surface? (not sure on the correct word)

People tended to believe that the smaller the armor was the better it was to not get shot/beatdown.

Lets look at me, i personally wore the rouge helmet and default shoulders/chest. Rouge helmet is the smallest helmet (default was 2nd), so therefore it was the hardest to hit with BR and sniper. I forgot what shoulder side it was but having a smaller shoulder led you to not get assassinated from the "front" on that side. Having a chest that didn't stick out much led you to not get "mega" lunged from someone when they went to beat you down.

Although i do not know if any of that was true so its all speculation but most people went a long with anyway. None the less i still liked how my armor combination looked anyway.

Me + Shotgun = Massacre
Armor Lock + Ghost = Epic Fail
Me vs Sniper = Me Dead, Sniper Stuck

After playing reach for so long i like to wear it because it seems cooler than what you can get on reach

The simple fact that its my favorite armor and the armor I used for years in H2 and I dont like to change.

So I don't look like an insect. Default is the way to go, plus it makes you look pr0.

  • 06.02.2011 4:36 PM PDT

Because it looks cool.

Honestly, full default MKVI is one of the coolest armor types.

  • 06.02.2011 4:52 PM PDT

Hmmmm, Oh, hello!

Because for beginners, unlockiing armor is hard so they insist on wearing default.

Or they try to look like the Chief.

I don't really like MK IV that much I'm just waiting until I hit Sgt or get ODST.

You just got Shakespeared!

Wow how many times has this been disccussed? Its most likely that
1.) that think the armor is the smallest with = less chance of getting hit.
2.)That they are MLG because they wear it.
3.)Like some have said, its there 100th account and they can't be bothered to do the campaign.
4.)They like it.

I used to wear it, because I liked it.

I switched to Hayabusa, though. I wanted to look like a samurai warrior.

I'm hoping to unlock my Katana soon.

EDIT: Also, the Hayabusa helmet reminds me somewhat of Optimus Prime or G1/WFC Soundwave.

I never really cared for the other armor variants. Mark 6 is default but also looks the best in my opinion.

  • 06.02.2011 6:56 PM PDT

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I like the look of the standard spartan.

  • 06.02.2011 8:34 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I'm pretty sure that the hitboxes are the same for those. Like Spartans and Elites have the same hitboxes, that's why Elites have the "hole" in their neck.

Actually, Elites and Spartans having the same hitbox is nothing but a myth. The "hole" that you speak of is nothing but a small gap. Their hitboxes are different. Not by much, but they are different.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Do I want to look like master chief or do I want to look like a noob asking to get a bullet ripped in my face?

That's why^

The hitboxes for all armor is different. Not just Elites vs Spartans, but also Rouge vs Security or Assault vs Commando and so forth. Even the katana changes the hitbox. Not by much, but enough to make the little difference. Host advantage is also an issue. You should wear the armor you want. Like I said all that other armor to me was ugly and makes you look like a little kid noob. Armor is not important in Halo 3 because Halo 3 is all about hitting a 50 and if you want a game devoted to armor then you should play Reach.

Huh...

I didn't know the armor actually changed the hitboxes...

This is good info. I'll keep it in mind.

But I'll still be wearing my Hayabusa. With Katana, eventually.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

I like Mark V, because it's the original Halo helmet.

Halo 3 Legend

Because it's the default armor and people like default. I wear it because it looks nice and not a lot wear it

  • 06.03.2011 10:41 AM PDT

:3 I will die. :[

I like default. However, sticking with Recon isn't bad. It's just armor. Mark VI is basically the MLG types. If you watched Pro Circuit since 08 on H3, you'll see why.
