ODST has a very tight-looking design and Halo's designs in general were ahead of their time, memes aside. Its a shame they had their soul sucked by Microsoft from the very beginning, and that corruption just burrowed deeper and deeper until they kicked out Bungie from their own creation and forced them to try and go Whaling with the microtransaction, lootbox fest of a shooter that is Destiny and its ill-begotten sequel, as Bungie loses their soul to Activision this time instead. You'd think they'd have learned not to trust those big gaming (((publishers))) and have tried to foot it off alone, but I guess reducing costs instead of finding ways to fund high spending is a lost art in today's world of game production, along with optimized code and reasonable politics.
Anyways, on topic, For all its faults DOOD had some cool armors.

I really liked all of Halo's designs and the lore. I read the first few books when they came out and they were great. I wasn't even that big of a fan of the games since they were okay at best but damn I love the UNSC aesthetic, I loved how it all looked like it served a function and it wasn't over designed. I loved the ships that served as just MAC cannons with engines on them. I loved the GI and ODST armor designs. It was all great until 343 took over and made everything ugly as shit

The only choices really worth talking about are power armor, which is kind of sad because there aren't nearly as many games with it as there should be. That's especially true when you're talking about ordinary soldiers as opposed to special elite super suit wearers.

ODSTs are my favorite, but a damn close second would have to be the IG from W40k.
I've always thought space marine armor looks fucking retarded, and the talentless hack who drew them originally should have been dropped on the spot for designing them. They are in dire need of some sort of visual upgrade, much like the steady upgrades that IG have been getting. Hell, even OG IG still haven't aged too terribly.
I dunno. Ever since playing DoW as a kid, iv'e always been enamored with the IG, even if they tended to be the ass of most jokes.

It depends. From what I understand Astra Militarum mostly fights Orks. Hell most of the Astra Militarum don't even know about Chaos, Eldar, Tau etc.

You take that shit back, nigger faggot. Republic Commando was awesome and RCs are one of the best sci-fi soldier designs despite not being power armor. There are exosuit modules in Star Wars that can be used to turn an unpowered suit into a powered suit, so they could have actually fixed that problem if Imperial Commando had ever been made. What I really want is a power armor simulator like how Steel Battalion was for mecha, but I don't know if it would be substantially different from any other FPS game because any suit of armor that has controls as complex as a mech would never be adopted by any army. Maybe they could base it on the suit's limited power capacity, use realistic damage modeling or have the armor have some other mechanic that needs to be managed besides energy.

The Imperial Guard Fuck GW copyright bullshit is sent out to fight whatever the Imperium needs them to fight. Mostly this is either Orks or Tyranids. Orks because they are pretty much battle hungry mushrooms that release spores to create more of them as you kill them, meaning you're never truly rid of them and Nids are bloodthirsty space cockroaches that want to eat everything, plus there are fucktons of them. The Space Marine are mostly called in for heavy duty Chaos stuff, ditto real blasty things like Necrons and Eldar. That being said, Cadia has withstood twelve major Chaos invasions, and only lost on the thirteenth one because of neckbeards whining about "muh story moving forwards" Personally, I would just like a Bad Company like game where you're part of a squad is different regiments and have to complete a mission, have the protag be your standard Cadian, then have a Catachan, a Krieger, a Mordian, then one of the regiments that doesn't get much love, like the Drookian Fen Guard or the Praetorians

Fuck yes. I've had a similar idea. I even found a way to make the focus on melee weapons make sense in a fucking futuristic setting.
WARNING: OC DONUT STEEL
Spaceships are basically tin cans of atmosphere, and extremely fragile. On top of that, they are basically contained spaces that will ricochet fucking anything anyway and cause all sorts of problems. To that end, use of firearms was banned during spaceflight, and melee weapons became the weapon of choice since anything with a projectile became an automatic out-the-airlock death penalty offence.
Melee training also helped to alleviate the muscle and bone degradation that happens in low-g environments, and since centrifugal force can be used to simulate even higher gravities, the hardcore knights would regularly train like fucking saiyans in 2x to 5x normal gravity, and years later land on planets fucking jacked and having mastered melee weapons.
So now you've got a culture built around worshipping melee weapons again because they're the only viable weapon in space unless you've got a death wish, but on top of that, death has also been (mostly) cured by cloning and memory implants. So if you do die in battle or an honourable duel, you just get cloned and gain some "memory debt" from those hours between your last "back-up" and when you were rezzed. Since death has no real penalty, there's no reason to be a cheap cunt and use a firearm like a pussy, and instead you man up and stick someone in the guts with three feet of fucking tungsten steel, or die trying.
plz no steel

Some marine armors have that Halo feel but that's because the subcontractor who made the multiplayer used to work with Bungie/343 on Halo DLCs.
The templar armors are pretty cool. I usually mix different armor parts, one shoulder has a bigger armor part, etc. I wish I could show you my character but I still haven't fixed my PC
The multiplayer wasn't all bad, they understood the issues with the gameplay and progression way too late though. They reworked the multiplayer, got rid of the map packs (every DLC became free) and the microtransactions but most of the playerbase had already left.
Snap Map could've been a great game mode if it wasn't a poor version of Halo Forge.

Honestly once you have sufficiently high quality armour, particularly power armour, and can afford to outfit most or all of your military with it without having to reduce their numbers, melee combat makes sense again. The main reason armour fell out of use was that in times when massive numbers of soldiers were being used, it ceased being financially viable to outfit them all in proper heavy armour, so lightly armoured or unarmoured soldiers were used in large numbers. If you did give your guys armour, they'd be impervious to the first few bullets they took but under sustained fire their armour would be structurally weakened and they'd get taken out. If you have power armour that can reliably endure sustained fire or that can self-repair over time in between direct engagements, and sufficient speed or cover to close the gap taking minimal fire, then melee combat is perfectly reasonable to have.

I still play the older Halos, the aesthetic being secondary to the main reason I play still. I currently enjoy SPV3, Project Cartographer, 3, Reach and ODST.
Reach still has a sizable community, and the day the servers get shut off will probably be the day I am done with console Halo. The running consensus I get from many normalfags is that the preference is set on Bungie's Halos and not 343I's, so with that fracture in the community there is some for better content. Thankfully I am content with my lot, unambitious as I am, to fool around in customs and shitty matchmaking that doesn't matter with friends in a game I enjoy for no reason that I can figure out.

Any sufficiently advanced society that has access to cloning would soon devolve in to pure hedonism, and that's essentially what melee combat is in my fictional society.
Deadly combat with fatal consequences is simply sport, except death is more like a concussion, where instead of blacking out you lose time since your last "save".
The crux of the story then doesn't become about survival, but about finding meaning in a society where it's pretty much guaranteed. And what might happen when that immortality (which is taken for granted) gets taken away, like by some kind of sabotage or virus that corrupts the memories and save files of the backup facility (like those Dark Stars in BSG). Suddenly people do start dying, and a culture completely alien to the concept of death collectively goes through the stages of grief.
And then you have characters who leave it anyway, because they are simply not satisfied with life, and choose to go on colonising missions knowing full-well they could die, truly die, in the attempt.

Dood was good, but it wasn't great. Nothing would live up to the legacy of the original Doom games though, being the marvel of technology it was at the time, and with the sheer amount of content they have accumulated over the years, the mods and customisable launchers and shit they have.
It didn't help that the multiplayer was average at best either, but the single player campaign was good fun.
Gotta remember this is /v/ though, where the loudest voices are always the ones complaining about every fucking thing not catering to their specific niche fetish, and everything is shit.

I want an IG game that starts with your shuttle craft being shot down in the middle of an ORC invasion. Have it start off as a horror-esque game until you group back up with head quarters, and have it slowly become a more tactical/strategy based game as you get loaded with more responsibilities for being the longest surviving IG on the frontlines.

Killzone 3 has infiltration missions wearing their armor
I hanged in my local electronics store when they still had consoles to play ,I finished Killzone 3 with the move gun in one sitting ,at some point another kid asked "when will you finish" to which I answered "when I complete the game"
My favorite scene from that game is "Stockholm? What planet do think YOU'RE ON!!?" but now that I found the translation it's way better in polish "Geneva ,Nie jesteśmy kurwa na Ziemi"/"Geneva,We aren't on fucking Earth"

I'm kind of partial to magitek armor. There aren't many power suits like that though. There aren't even very many magitek mecha, which could be adapted to build magitek power armor, but this almost never happens. You pretty much have a choice between the FFXV Magitek Exosuit, literal fucking Chozo space magic and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! I don't want to use an ork power suit because as several others have pointed out, orks are basically space niggers. Some of the 40K Space Marines have magic of some form, but their suits are entirely technology-based.

Honestly I feel like Bungie understood something about aesthetics that I think I've only really seen in Star Trek otherwise: Different civilizations follow the same laws of physics, and so if different civilizations use the same technology the architecture should look like variants on the same idea. Like for example in Star Trek the Federation and Romulans use a lot of different technologies in their craft, but both use warp drives based on the same scientific theory, and there are identifiable traits of that like the presence of warp nacelles. This even remains true between eras and is one of the big reasons I disliked Discovery. In halo the actual mechanics of its slipstream drive is less fleshed out than Trek, but you can still see similarities between Covenant and UNSC tech, and especially it's easy to see that what the covenant have is a good bit more advanced than the UNSC but still follows the same laws of physics they do. Whenever I see shit like that I instantly see that at least a good deal of thought was put into how this universe should look, and even if the story is shit I can at least respect the thought put into the art design.

There are still sorcerers who do "arcane magic", and make demonic contracts, but the demons themselves are just using psy power, but hey, as long as you don't know about the second part, its still magic. You could also get a Sister of Battle to do some of that prayer shit, since thats still seen as magic its just psy energy, or just use her blood if you don't feel like asking/are in a rush.

Spoiler for off-topic but
It's definitely the kind of design that feels like it was made by some guy who thinks more = better/faster. It's one of the things that annoys me with a few of Ace Combat's fictional planes. Take the UI-4054 Aurora from AC3 for example. It completely ruins my suspension of disbelief because 5 engines is hilariously impractical on any fighter. You generally don't even want go above a single engine under normal circumstances, especially with the incredible reliability modern jet engines have. Another good example is the X-49 Night Raven. This is supposed to be a high-speed fighter and yet they gave it a staggered BIPLANE layout. It boggles my god damn mind, and annihilates my suspension of disbelief. It feels like someone went "more flying wing is better!" and went further overboard with the idea than Jack Northrop.
