For Halo 4 we have many choices for our SPARTAN-IV armor customization. Here are my opinions on what's available so far. Be reminded, this is just for kicks and I am in no way bashing the game or its features. You have any opinions, feel free to leave them under mines.

  • CIO

Kind of reminds me of the alien robot from "The Iron Giant". It looks okay for the most part.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

It definitely reminds me of the Iron Giant, its not the best armour, but its not that bad either. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
Deadeye Helmet.jpg
  • Deadeye

Looks okay. Don't understand the middle "deadeye" visor piece but its probably for aesthetics.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Its alright. Kinda similar to Rogue, It will probably be its replacement since the Rogue is already taken. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

Helmet looks weird and a lil ugly. Must have some new technology for the visor or a hidden camera somewhere, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see out of it.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

The armours nice, but the helmet is weird... I don't really see how someone could see through that, unless they had some sort of sophisticated HUD system. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • FOTUS

The helmet looks similar to the Promethean Knights. Don't understand the large spike on top; just seems like an armor for asethetic purposes. Pretty much makes you look like a knight.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This armor reminds me of the Hayabusa instead. It looks cool but impractical. Is the spike for head-butting enemies? That would be quite useful. —S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COMMission LogProfile) 06:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

Reminds me of Megatron.. Like the Promethean knights do. What purpose could that spike possibly serve? Headbutting? An advanced aerial? --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
Halo 4 preorder bonus (GUNGNIR Pulse).png
  • GUNGNIR

Looks similar to the one from Reach.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I hope it stays like the one in Reach, its nice to have another helmet that looks similar to its previous iteration. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • HAZOP

Kinda fits its name better than the previous iteration.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Oh, dear. I liked the one in Reach, although this helmet looks like it more suits its original purpose. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Infiltrator

The helmet just looks menacing and screams ugly...or scary. Fits the name.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I'm not sure if I like this or not. I would prefer it if it had a real visor. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • LOCUS

Another armor that looks menacing. Also looks similar to the GUNGNIR helmet, with no visor. Kinda looks like a human skull.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This one is pretty scary, it must be the replacement for EVA[C]. This is one I'll be avoiding. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
Oceanic Armor.jpg
  • Oceanic

The helmet reminds me of the "Big daddy's" helmets from Bioshock.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Another one I'll be avoiding. The helmet fits the name, it reminds me of the old diver helmets. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Orbital

Pretty much the EVA armor except with different aesthetic features to the visor.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I like this one, but then again I liked EVA. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Operator.png
  • Operator

Kinda looks similar to the commando armor from Reach. Looks alright; I'd rock it.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I liked Operator in Reach, but this is completely different. Not for me I'm afraid. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Pathfinder.png
  • Pathfinder

The helmet looks somewhat similar to the deadspace helmet. Also the boots look a lil funny to me.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This is nice. If only it had a real visor. This is one I could see myself wearing. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Pioneer.png
  • Pioneer

The helmet looks Forerunner-ish, almost like the UNSC got its design from Forerunner elements. Just looks weird.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Oh, dear God. I can't really see anyone wearing this. Maybe its the purple, but this looks like a joint UNSC-Covenant effort (I'd usually be happy about this, but this is just ugly). --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Recon

Unchanged from Halo 3 or Reach, for the most part. Another favorite choice of mines.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I'm very happy that this has remained unchanged. This was always the best looking helmet. I'd be overjoyed to wear this. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Recruit

Overall, my favorite armor to date. To me, it seems the most relevant to Mjolnir armor and maintains that classic "Spartan" look.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This armor reminds me of marine pilot helmet you see in Halo 3. It's more traditional for the Spartan armor. I would choose to have this one as my Spartan's armor. —S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COMMission LogProfile) 06:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

I will most probably wear this, probably because it is the one of the most like Mk VI armour we've seen. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

H4-Specialization-Rogue.png
  • Rogue

Nice, straightforward armor to rock. Adds a twist to the large visor by making it square instead of rounded. Although I think it would make head shots easier.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This armor is like the Pilot armor from Reach, but angular. Probably my second favorite. —S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COMMission LogProfile) 06:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

Very similar to Pilot, not for me really. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

  • Scanner

Screams Star Wars to me...Makes it kinda hard to peak around corners.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

I don't mind this one. I could see myself wearing it. Although it does just look like someone just strapped binoculars to someones helmet. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Scout

Nothing much to say about it other than it hasn't changed much from Halo 3.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Scout is my favorite helmet in Halo 3, but the one in Halo: Reach is (sorry Jun) hideous. This one resembles the one from Halo 3, but is still not pretty in my opinion. —S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COMMission LogProfile) 06:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
I like all the ones that appear from previous games, and this is no exception. I've always liked scout, even its Reach iteration, and it is one I will probably wear. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Soldier

Helmet is kinda ugly, in a menacing sort of way.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Another I will avoid. It would probably look better with a larger visor, but that's just my opinion. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Stalker.png
  • Stalker

Just plain ugly to me.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Not the best. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
  • Strider

Don't understand the purpose of this helmet. Kinda looks like the pilot helmet.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

This is pretty ugly. Just looks like an elongated EVA. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Tracker.png
  • Tracker

Definitely fits its description. Seems like the "scanners" on the front of the helmet are blocking the visor.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Looks like Air Assault with 3 LED lights attached to me, it will probably grow on me though. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
Venator armor.jpg
  • Venator

Pretty much will make you look like a power ranger. The helmet looks similar to the ones from deadspace. Being that this is concept art, I assume it'll look different from the release.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

The helmet is very similar to the one on Dead Space, although I may use the body armour. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
warrior
  • Warrior

The mouth covering looks similar to Optimus Prime's. Nonetheless, this is my all-time second favorite armor.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

When the first images came out of multiplayer, this armour got me worrying. Its not the best armour here in my opinion. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
H4-Specialization-Wetwork.png
  • Wetwork

The visor running down the center of the helmet is just plain weird. Definitely not your normal looking armor. Obviously, its for aesthetics.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 August 2012 (EDT)

Why does this remind me of Gundam? Its pretty weird if you ask me. --TentacleTornado 11:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
