Subject: Low Rank Armory Pieces, Y U No Get Moar Luv?

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

How come you never see anybody using them? I know they are low rank, but is that really the only reason? I've seen 1 person past the rank of Field Marshall wearing armor that is all available at ranks below Warrant Officer, and all default wearers just tend to hate the armor, but this isn't about that.

It's the same overused pieces over and over: Mk VI, Security, Commando, Sniper, etc.

Is it a bragging thing, where people assume expensive high ranked armor = status, or is it just that most of the lower ranking pieces aren't as aesthetically pleasing, or even just so low rank that they seem noobish.

Everytime I go into MM I see at least 1 person with the right Security shoulder, robot arms and breacher wrist attachment. I know that armor is only there for aesthetic value and as an incentive to play, but I would think that with all the options there would be some vestige of originality.

PS - I know I may seem contradictory because I wear the GUNGNIR helmet. I like it because of the way it looks, not because it was a high ranking piece.

I admit, I bought and wore them for about 3 matches before switching back to my Grenadier shoulders. I'm a bulky armor kind of guy, but Security, especially when paired with Jorge's version of the Grenadier chest, is just stupid bulky. They should have made them more like the H3 security shoulders.

Helmet- Mark 5 B
Shoulders- Hazop, Hazop
Chest- Collar breacher
Knee pads- FJ Para
Utility- Deafult
Visor- Default
Wrist- None
Armor Effect- Bungie

The highest ranked item I have on is unlocked at Lt colonel and I'm an Eclipse. I hate the higher ranked armor

One of my friends wears the one with the knife, plus the robot arm equiped. It looks horrible.

I use the buckler wrist attachment and the ODST chest, which equals only 5750 cR. Everything else is there because I wanted all of my armor to look aesthetically similar and not mismatched. Most of the high rank armor is so ugly and huge that I don't see how anybody can wear the classic high rank combo:

Mk VI/GUNGNIR/Security/EVA[C]
Security x2
Collar/Grenadier[M]
Breacher wrist
Soft Case
Grenadier knee guards
Gold/Black visor

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

It's an odd trend. You very rarely see people over Field Marshall with low-rank armor.

Whenever you see someone with, say, an ODST helmet, you can generally assume they'll be bad.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

I like my armor just the way it is, and I'll NEVER change it.

  • 01.25.2012 4:06 PM PDT

Herp derp.

I rock full ODST armor.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I use lots of lower rank stuff.

I just get the impression that everyone with the larger armor pieces are mega unathletic nerds in real life. I know that is ignorant of me, but...lol.

PS - I know I may seem contradictory because I wear the GUNGNIR helmet. I like it because of the way it looks, not because it was a high ranking piece.

I will never see why people like the lunch box helmet, but whatever.

-I like it BECAUSE it's an ugly lunchbox of a helmet ;)
-It gives me the appearance of being more machine than man
-Anything is better than Military Police and Security IMO

The only higher rank armor I really use is the Jorge chest and Grenadier shoulder, however I use them as part of the Jorge set. Other than that I tend to mostly use operator armor or some other set I can't name as I have not played in a while and dont remember the names of the pieces

Mk VI helmet, ODST gear, maybe the robo arm.

I just wear what I think looks good. Before I hit Brigadier, then General, I wore the HAZOP helmet, ODST shoulder armor on both arms, and the Tactical chest armor. When I hit Brigadier, I switched to the GUNGNIR helmet and I eventually switched everything else to better compliment the helmet.

Eclipse.

Uses pre W.O rank shoulders and Chest and Lt. Colonel Helmet.

Your theory = wrong.
