Halo’s Armor Design

With Halo: Campaign Evolved being announced and the mix criticism on the reveal it got me thinking, what is it exactly the Halo Community is looking for in a future Halo game. So I figured I’d post some discussion posts to get peoples opinions on various topics around the franchise (I have to make this post long because anything less than 150 characters gets removed).

Todays question: What is it that Bungie got right creating Halo’s armor that 343 seems to lack? I know Infinite’s shaders was disappointing, but I’m talking about strictly the design of armors like the Mark V, ODST, Rogue, etc?
