I agree OP, Another thing that irritates me about Halo 4 multiplayer is that they completely got rid of any Military ranks and replaced them with an "SR" and number, which isn't that fun. I also hate the fact that all the armor looks like complete ****, maybe something from a low-budget Power Rangers movie rather than what true Spartans should look like. I also dislike that there is no distinguishable armor in Halo 4, it all looks the same except slight changes in the completely retarded looking helmets. (I guess 343 didn't think that Spartans should have visors to see out of) I'm honestly thinking about going back to Reach to play Halo online, because it's just all around a better experience in my opinion.. And it's a Halo multiplayer, not one based off of COD with crap graphics. Hell! The Halo: Reach graphics were even better than Halo 4! ... :/ We've waited five years to be let down on Halo 4's multiplayer. It would be so much better if we could just have our Reach armor and ranks back.
All this is true, I hope 343 realizes how stupid their Spartan armor looks.
