The armor is just to show you, how you like to personalize yourself. It has nothing to do with sniping, winning or losing. Many of my friends say that the Hayabusa helmet shows strength, and you should never mess with one. But I do not believe that because, I've beaten MANY people with Hayabusa helmet. Also, people with CQB and Mark IV, are said to be noobs. They just wear it because they need more armor. Lastly, many people say when people have Recon they're so strong and have high skills. But, not always.
