Why can't the rest of 343's creations be as good as their concept artists/Industrial designers? It just looks so damn good.

I'll never forgive them for what they did to MJOLNIR and UNSC ship design. Mind you, Chief's Infinite armor is his best design next to the CE Mark V IMO

The multiplayer armor were a roflcopter fest. I must admit though that I really like chief's Mjolnir. For me it's up there with the original one and better than halo 2 and 3 designs. Reach designs were also good imo.

This armor just looks so badass to me. If I had to pick one to wear it might actually be this one. All the other designs were just so bad, like, wtf?

Nah I disagree. It looks like a wetsuit with bits of armor slapped on. Previous iterations looked more classic sci-fi, Mark VI leaned a bit too much into the heroic aesthetic with the Hoplite style chest plate but it ultimately looked like a compact, hardy and powerful piece of technology. The 4 armor is too modern in it's design and looks like poor armor - not at all like a PA system

I guess it just depends on what you like. I would be more afraid of seeing the above armor in a hallway than any other iterations. It just seems like the designer has a better idea of industrial design to me. The others are fine except for maybe Halo 2.

Here are two others I really liked the art for:

I just really like the level of imagination they put into these. Only complaint I'd have at least from a practical standpoint is a helmet meant to take serious hits that is also designed to split. It looks cool though.

To me these are too visually busy and overdesigned. The simplicity of Chief's armor is it's strength.

Yeah, 343 has a tendency to have busy looking stuff(especially their Covenant work), but overall these ones are fine having a lot going on. That's just me though. I can go either way in what I like either with lots of detail, or more reserved stuff. It's just depends on how it's executed.
 
Yeah all the MJOLNIR designs are cool but have you ever seen the Covenant Grunts? The best enemy in that series is also the weakest.

Lemme get uhh....hm. Lemme get a mixture of these two but with jaw length brown hair for the portrait (not pulled back) and have a lock of orange hair in the front and some kind of mechanical mask of your choosing. The jacket in the first one is neat, but feel free to change it up too. Background can be anything, or transparent. Either way. Hopefully this is the right way to apply for this >_>
