Master Chief Armor Tier List (Every Halo Master Chief Armor Ranked) 

Lol. Real talk that aside it's actually my favorite.

Especially in laso

EXTREMELY. RESILIENT.

yeah like the shoulder plates in halo 2 and 3 are so thin, they would definitely not stop a bullet. All they would do is stop him from getting scratches if he falls off his skateboard.

@@archerburger143 i hate it when master chief falls off his signature skateboard. massive halo L...

No, Chief looks almost fat in Infinite. Halo 2 and 3 made him look way better.

But that's the thing about Spartans, it's easy to think that they're these buff meat heads for human beings, but they're actually a lot more lean in build. The armor is what makes them look chunkier or thicker. But man, Infinite's Chief definitely put some C's in thick.

@@agentmaryland1239 good point, the spartans themselves are relatively lean rather than thick. But both the mark 5 armor from CE and mark 4 from Halo Wars are thicker and I like that too. The Mark 6 in comparison is too form-fitting next to the Mark 4, 5, or Infinite's mark 7, although it's still a great and iconic design

Yea it combined the simplicity of the bungie mk 6 and the bulky awe of the 343 mk 6. Like i love both general designs but bungie doesn’t look like practical armor and 343 is too complicated. Infinite is the perfect blend

THICC

@@junebug7117 He is what the Humans call THICC! But I do love the Infinite Armor.

Yeah Infinite is IMO the best he’s ever looked both in terms of overall design as well as just general fidelity I really love it

Bungie armor looked oldish and simple whereas 343s are kinda new and convoluted, I actually like both and honestly aside CE master chief I say halo 4 and 5 chief look better then halo 2 and 3 chief in my opinion, it's mostly because chief feels short and skinny compared to the marines and even elites, he looks too small for someone who's 7ft2 1000 pounds. In halo 4 and 5 he's kinda the size of the elites from bungie eras except in 343s there's huge, too huge, then halo infinite broaght back the og elites from CE and its perfect, chiefs bigger then them and as tall as them, they also fixed the brutes, brutes definitely feel like they are indeed huge, big mofos like they should have been, I men if they're 9ft tall how tf is chief the same height as them in the bungie halo games? It makes no sense

Infinite is the best looking for sure but I do love 1 to 3 designs a lot

I think 5 and 4 are okay. I kinda like the design myself but in context of an established and beloved art style there's a reason people dislike it. For starters it has that generic over done late 7th generation art style that's supposed to be realistic but just makes everything look over designed and less practical. It especially hits the covenant worse though, if the enemies don't look sick they look like generic hive style enemies. The body suit looks incredibly tight and nothing like actual bdu or eva/ppu equipment. It looks like a sci-fi mech plug suit style skin suit. And the armor to me just doesn't look protective, it's too angular in the chest for blast protection and doesn't properly cover the joint and lower torso area. I actually do really like the helmet design but it also seems like the armor and helmet were modeled by two different people looking at multiple concept art pieces. Also the pauldrons just seem really heavy for not much practical change. As for Halo infinite it's like they tried to take the realistic design and mix it with a cartoon style, don't get me wrong that cartoonish style is what makes Halo iconic and I like it but it also kinda contrasts with itself. And the armor seems, I don't know how to describe except sorta like dbz muscles. It's more robotic and also kinda blocky especially the shin guards and chest piece. I guess it's sorta like a toy. Also the color looks more like breath of the wild grass than military olive drab. I didn't like the mark 4/5 in reach much but the armor felt far more practical and realistic while also being cool AF, I would have preferred if they just upscaled that style like how they just ripped the gun and enemy models for the ce remake. Over all o do really like it though, I didn't have any strong thoughts about his armor while playing the game, it's problems are with the world design, like 4 and 5 it looks nice and like wallpaper material but also nothing like the original series, especially the forerunner stuff. But that's all just my opinion.

i feel like 4 & 5 are good but dont look like the master chief. if the list was based on looking how the master chief should look, 4 & 5 are in the right place imo

as a person who grew up on halo CE for 99% of my life thank you

Yhm z pewnością zwłaszcza że wygląda jakby miał komuś skroić komure

I agree because I've always been a Mark 5 head lol. It's what I have on my Mark 5b Spartan in Infinite and what I used for a long time in the OG Reach. There's something about it that I've always preferred over the Mark 6 armor, even though I still really like it.

The iconic is multiplied by 224742573545454 when you remember that it's the helmet that Caboose wears.

I've always found it the most mature looking, which sounds funny seeing as it's from the oldest game. The MK VI just seems a bit too small and to me, the helmet has never seemed right. MK V on the other hand has a weighted look to it, not to mention the ammo pouches!

Same here

i agrree

100000%

Yess

I love it. It looks badass and cool. My personal favourite of his armour followed by infinite

I hate Halo 4 the most but the armour in that game is my favourite

Yeah, idk why everyone hates it

It’s a space suit it’s awesome

i think infinites master chief should be greener and darker cuz he kinda looks like old playdoh atm

​@@withervortex5429 I dont think the color is bad but old playdoh is scary accurate

He gassed up the TV show design too much

Honestly this tier list is trash

Fr how the hell is it F and D tier he looks so sick like a monster

Agreed. Some of the Elites were cool but I preferred the MCC/Reach elites for the most part but the H4/H5 armor just looks great.

True, really cool armor

I agree, and halo 5 only improved it.

Too bad it's hard for bungie stans to realise

​@@QasimAli-to5lk tell me something you like about halo 4 in total

@@superk9letsplays419 the story, the gameplay, the multiplayer and Forge

Someone gets it

Nope, design is just above average. Chief looks almost fat. Halo 2 and 3 he looked better.

@@chief117s15 Halo 3 was my S Tier option too…until I realized how girthy my duhde looks like in Infinite 😎

​@@chief117s15 The chunkyness is chiefs muscle

THIS! But 343 was lazy Too lazy to make the forward unto dawn the correct ship class, too lazy to include the correct weapons that would be on board, too lazy to do their jobs. Then again... it's exactly what one SHOULD. expect when you hire a bunch of people who hate halo.

Yeah they wanted to have it but it wasn't doable for performance reasons.

Infinite Chief should be S tier, however it's nothing like the H2A variant. It's based on the Legends/FUD.

​@@MarsiB013pretty sure this guy looks at bungie halo with rose tinted glasses

Legends and FUD designs are underrated in my opinion.

@@Ungus727agreed

H4 armor is ass

That armor looks like he’s a fucking dump truck. Chief looks like he is a target with a big ass neon sign constantly pointing out his location with the words “SHOOT ME” on it. That armor doesn’t look functional enough to be practical. 4s armors mostly look like fucking shit. Half of them are just Halo Reach Elites, but without split jaws. . . That or no visor exists. Not to mention no military in their right mind would look at Halo 4s chief and say “Yeah. That looks like a good suit of armor to give our soldiers! Totally won’t make it impossible to avoid getting shot by a sniper!” Even storm troopers would likely be more practical then H4 MC realistically, and storm troopers can’t aim worth a damn.

Its unpopular opinion but 4 looks faaaar better.... I think people are letting nostalgia cloud their eyes.... 343 screwed a lot of things but I loved all the armours they made for Chief ( 5 was eehhhh but anyway. )

​@@davidknowsbetter8495 i agree 5 did a bit of back track in terms of texture back to clean again. They are dam near being Gundam by then. But 4 looks awesome in a way. It's just a style choice.

Forgor some armoris

@@doomfan8603 Nah these are just the ones I care about. As for the anniversary versions and whatnot, I actually like CEA, probably would put it in S tier as well, and 2A is so faithful it would also get an S tier.

Halo 4 looked like shit compared to 3. Sure graphics wise its better. . . But I was expecting Master Chief. Not some dumb ass wearing big ass armor who needs to lower his gun to sprint wearing a shitty attempt at making Spartan Armor because he weighs like. . . 900lbs.

More polygons =\= better cope

He wouldn't be an iconic character like he is if they would just change his paint anytime

Completely agree. I think the colors in infinite are way off as well, he looks like a toy.

Halo CE Chief looking like a glazed donut

I happen to like glazed donuts though

Honestly worst take on the internet

Googles “how to delete someone’s comment on RU-vid”.

Nah, I don't even watch animes, or anything, I just like that Masterchief design
