The Cool Armour Thread

[evilneko]

I actually hate most of the armors in Skyrim. Ugly as fuck. Especially dragonbone/scale and the female version of Steel Plate. Yuck.

I'm a perv though, and many of my favorite outfits... I can't post here. Here's one that's safe though.

Spoiler

My Fallout 3/New Vegas character has worn this outfit for a long time:

I love it.

And here's a safe one of one of my Skyrim characters, hiding her hair under a helmet and trying to pretend to be a boy. Pretty cute actually.

Personally I find most armor in games to be silly. Too many spikes, too big of shoulder pads. Bright red or solid black with skulls and such. I'd laugh if I saw a guy wearing basically any of the armor in this thread.

Spoiler

Modern infantry armor looks cool to me, and it's functional as well.

 

[laggyteabag]

Ive always loved the armour from the Halo games.

I rather liked the Shadow Trooper armor in Jedi Outcast, partially the look, partially the it-resists-fucking-lightsabers thing.

Spoiler: + a free force refill for each kill!

Cortosis is still inferior to Beskar, luckily.

Strange the Galak, the guy who designed it, had such doofy-looking armor himself, I think...

Isaac Clarke's lvl. 3 suit has always struck me as really cool looking.

The protagonist of System Shock 2 had some really weird but at the same time cool armor. Oh, and you thought that Adam Jensen was the first Cyberpunk FPS/RPG character with eyewear built directly into his skull?

The kinda silvery armour set in Dead Space two. I forget what it's called.
WoW occasionally has nice looking armour sets, usually they're a bit overblown. The mage Tier 5, shaman T10, druid t7.5, priest 6, hunter 7, shaman 7... shaman 10... urm...

Wish I could find a better picture, but my favorite armor is from Monster Hunter 3g, the new Jinouga Subspecies armor set.

 

[Dethenger]

I think the Catarina Armour from Dark Souls is hilarious.

It's okay.

She's perfectly capable of wielding this.

Pretty much all the armour from Tribes:Ascend. They did a terrific job on creating them .

Spoiler: Highlights

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Hellghast.

I've never even played killzone.
But what can I say? I'm a sucker for creepy gas masks.

 

[Arakasi]

I still think the Big Daddy is awesome.

Spoiler

Also, ofc the New Vegas armor.

Spoiler

Basically anything that was on a wallpaper at some point.

I can help you with that

False, this is best armor

Spoiler

I'd say the ARC Trooper is the best.

[Thedutchjelle]

Also, honorable mention goes to armor designs from Oni

Just look at it!

Spoiler

Didn't expect someone else here liking those armours. Was about to post those too. TCTF Riot cops looks badass.

Mirror's Edge SWAT Troopers also look badass

Spoiler

As do most of the STALKER armors

Spoiler

The mooks + police in Deus Ex Human Revolution also run around in some nice stuff

Spoiler

And ofcourse the Half Life Combine. I don't like the White guys though, their helmet is to nonsensical to me.
