I think mostly the 3 and Reach armors just show how the industry and large has unfortunately headed towards an over-designed aesthetic because they have the polygons to do so. A lot of 343's own stuff would be better if they just simplified.

The 3 helmets IMO look a lot better in 5 than they do in the original game just because the armor in H3 multiplayer had a toy-like plasticity to it.

I'm still 75K RP away from swapping my Mk IV for Mk V, though :)
