You think it's just for looks? I'd wear it if it wasn't just for looks. I don't think Spartans have much time to worry about how the armor looks, but rather how it performs in action. That is a strange looking visor, though. It made me think of the pfhor. That most certainly would be an upgrade, no? It doesn't make much sense to produce a unique piece of expensive armor just to protect some grunts. You would think it would be easier and cheaper to mass produce the og mjolnir look (helmet). And it doesn't, that I know of, require any head/face surgery to wear it.
Spartans may not have the time to worry about the looks, but I, as a gamer, do. It is still a game, and I think the look should appeal to the gamer. A third of the reason MC is so cool is the way he looks, especially if you havn't read the books. What else is there to like? You've got they way he looks, his catchy one liners, and the fact that he can flip a tank, all adding up to make him the super badass that he is. That armor would partially ruin the image I have of the Spartans whom I have come to enjoy so much.
Of course, this is all my opinion and I'm sure there are plenty of people who would love to see hordes of Spartans equiped with this "new" armor. I just happen to like the way the recent/current Mjolnir sets have looked.
