Reach and CE/CEA's MKV are my favorite armor designs in the series. They're so... Spartan-y.
best art style in the entire series, too. only ODST came close to reach's excellent aesthetic decisions.
If we're talking general art direction and taking storytelling/theming into account, ODST blows Reach right out of the water. Reach's evolving pallet was still good in that regard, but ODST pretty much perfected its Divine Comedy allegory.

Nothing really noticable. Too much clutter. In Halo 3 it was simple but perfect.

I could see what armor people had, and if I had it. In later games they are way too detailed.
The problem with Halo 3 armor is that the bright colors make it look extremely garrish. Halo 3 armor looked like plastic because of this. If it had a darker color scheme and more battle-worn textures like Reach it would look a lot better.
Halo 3 looked the most metallic and had the best color choice to me, Reach was pretty even. Anything after is shitty.
Halo 3's armour doesn't look metallic. It looks like plastic, because painted metal looks that way.

Reach is the only metallic looking in the series because it was worn and battered unlike 3's, 4's and 5's pristine armour.

I only liked the armors in Halo CE and Halo 2 because they didn't look plastic.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

I don't know what world I live in where painted metal looks like plastic.

Obviously it doesn't look exactly the same, you dimwit.

Painted metal has a plasticy look to it.
