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
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)
Engineer
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

- 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)
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
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)
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)
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)
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 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 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)
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 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 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
(COM • Mission Log • Profile) 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)
Stalker
Just plain ugly to me.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 20:30, 28 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)
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
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
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)
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)
