Oh I get it, web because it's... amazon... yeah.

Deadeye helmet would actually look badass with better color choices (who the fuck decided to show it off as blue and gold?) and CIO Helmet (Amazon armor showcased) might become my new helmet choice if Operator doesn't return.

Edit: Raptor armor did the same thing, the hell? I'm not usually cynical about this stuff but Raptor looks like a fucking Super Metroid enemy or something.

 

[Overdoziz]

It's like they're trying to make them ugly.

 

[Gui_PT]

Holy Crap these are all so ugly lol

 

[Louis Wu]

Oh I get it, web because it's... amazon... yeah.

I thought it was 'web' because there's a spider design on the front.

 

[Poker Face]

looks like ill sticking with default armor in halo 4...

 

[Ken]

Ah, okay.

Just saw the Amazon exclusive. Who would actually want to use these

I wouldn't use them but I wouldn't mind having them all even if they just sit in my armory.

You know, like my backlog of games.

I guess I'm alone in thinking these armors are somewhat okay; I like the departure from the armor style of the previous games for something a little more different,

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I thought that Raptor one was a joke when I first saw it.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Retailers exclusives EVERYWHERE.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Oh shit, first Spider-Man, now we on that Evagenlion shit

Yo, whoever gets the Buzz Lightyear armor first is getting my money

 

[Homeboyd]

OoooOOooOh! The Raptor!

 

[Fracas]

The Spiderman armor's helmet sort of looks like Sam Fisher's helmet from Splinter Cell.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I actually like the deadeye skin, just would use other colors...


FRANK, DAVID, I will give you anything to get an Iowa State Cyclones themed skin in the game.

 

[Blue Ninja]

All this shit is ugly.

 

[MrBig]

Frank, make a NeoGAF armor/skin happen

 

[senador]

Oh we've seen all the armor? Link please.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

What is Gamestop US?

I figure they killed two birds

Spoiler

AND A FRANCHISE*

with one stone; give amazon the web one since it's online, make web armor have a spider decal because spiderman's hip and will appear to the cod d-munchkins.

Spoiler

*i'm kidding i think

Also, I've got shit to do today but once I'm home tonight and we're bombarded with 343 new pre-order specials I'll try to put together an armor listing for Halo 4, if Halogaf or Forward Unto Dawn would like some help putting information together.

 

[Poker Face]

still hasnt been announced.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

LMAO at the raptor skin.

 

[Gui_PT]

Can't wait to see the CoD skin

 

[Gabotron ES]

Halo 4: Fancy Power Rangers Edition

 

[squidhands]

You and Squid are tasteless bastards.

I have exquisite taste. The helmet is cool, the skin is meh (reminds me of Marvel's Bullseye)

I thought it was 'web' because there's a spider design on the front.

Yup. Spiderman, Bullseye...wondering if we'll get a Captain America version next.

From Best Buy:

Halo 4 Venator Raptor Preorder Bonus
Pre-Order Halo 4 and receive the Best Buy Exclusive Venator Raptor multiplayer armor design. Color combination of the armor can be customized (we have used Best Buy blue and yellow for our image). The geometry of the suit and striping patter and permanent, but the color scheme can be customized by the owner.

Venator Raptor

What the hell is Venator?

The armour looks weird.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Can't wait to see the CoD skin

It'll be the one with the moustache.

^ Venator is apparently Latin for hunter.

 

[senador]

Venator Raptor

What the hell is Venator?

New game enemy revealed through exclusive skin.

 

[Blue Ninja]

It's like they're trying to make them ugly.

The only one that looks halfway decent is CIO.

I'm sorry 343, but those designs really are awful.

From Best Buy:



Venator Raptor

What the hell is Venator?

My handy Google calculator tells me it's a Star Wars reference:

Spoiler

No Star Trek references.

 

[User 73706]

Venator Raptor

What the hell is Venator?

Oh my god, I actually know this! Venator's latin for catch/hunter, I think. It could be some new company introduced in the franchise like Traxus and the armor's designed for missions involving assassinations/reconnaissance/kidnapping high-priority targets depending on your definition of catch. That or it's going meta and it's a heavily grenade-oriented armor.

Ah, good venator yo.

These guys look like VR Troopers.

damn you, Dax.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Ah, good venator yo.

You'd need to adjust the word first, I think. :lol

These guys look like VR Troopers.

Venator Raptor troopers?

 

[Poker Face]

combined picture for people who have yet to see

 

[Gui_PT]

Guess we're going to have to adapt to these skins

 

[senador]

You'd need to adjust the word first, I think. :lol



Venator Raptor troopers?

Ah good venatoration yo.

 

[Gabotron ES]

My guess is all theses skins will revert to white for team based games, that'd explain the white stripes on the spartans from the vidocs.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Hunters? I think we already got those

Unless they mean...the other Hunter

With this skin, you will win 90% of your matches with little effort

 

[User 73706]

First thing I'm doing in Halo 4 is making a Power Rangers parody using only pre-order skins.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Venator Raptor troopers?

Lol, YES!

 

[GhaleonEB]

Can't say I'm a fan of these armor designs, though the Raptor one is the best of the bunch. Curious how the volume of skins stacks up to Reach.

I like the variety in color patterns, though. Makes them much more distinctive at a distance, though I imagine most team games will revert to red/blue.

 

[Gui_PT]

With this skin, you will win 90% of your matches with little effort

Why? Because all matches will be scripted?

(Though for me, the image is inverted (and HUGE).)

Resized for you, so people at work or whatever can see it.

Edit: Damn you Pokerfaced

 

[Fracas]

Oh man, imagine all the derps wearing these skins in Rumble Pit.

Going to feel like I walked into some weak Halo cosplay convention.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

What are you trying to say, Gui?

 

[senador]

Can't say I'm a fan of these armor designs, though the Raptor one is the best of the bunch.

Cuz it looks Skyrim-ish?

Man, the color choices on the armor/skins just looks bad. Makes them all worse and hard to tell what they really look like.

 

[squidhands]

That Raptor armor looks like it has a giant popped collar. Can't unsee.

 

[RebornYeti]

Hopefully 343 saved all the ugly armor skins for pre-order bonuses. I hold hope they there will be far better looking skins included in the game.

 

[Gui_PT]

What are you trying to say, Gui?

That wrestling is scripted?

Am I?

I dunno

 

[Retro]

The idea of having custom paint styles applied to your armor is cool.
Making them retailer exclusive is not.

And all of these helmets are ugly as sin.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

That wrestling is scripted?

Am I?

I dunno

You make my 10 year old self cry, you monster!
