Wearing armor is it just for the look or does wearing it really mean something. When you wear your new armor does it make you stronger, harder to kill or what? If you know any thing about this respond Asap.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

It is merely for aesthetics. It does nothing beyond look cool.

Well obviously armor makes you look about 10x cooler, and it really doesn't affect damage intake IRL or in games, so, yeah.

Guessing that you are talking about Reach, armor is only for your player's appearance, it does absolutely nothing to your strength, health, damage, whatever, including hitboxes.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

From a canon point of view: It adds extra-less protection, more-less mobility, more versatility in defined situations (Hazop for places where Spartans will come in contact with toxins. EOD for explosive handling. CQB/CQC for close combat, EVA for Space missions, etc.), among other things.

From a game point of view: Cool looks.
