Military Armor and Sci-fi armor don't seem to have any protection what so ever. For instance many people will focus on head and chest area and leave things like legs and arms not as protected. What are some good combat armor?

I dont see a problem

>>324189824
Yes because putting a heavy plate of armor on your arms or legs won't slow you don't or decrease mobility, you retard.

Most video game armor is way too constricting like if you tried to wear it in real life you'd probably pass out from heat exhaustion. It looks protective to have it from head to toe but it can get really hot and sweaty. Games can't really factor that in especially in environments that are really hot.

Armor for leg and arm is pointless. Pointless.
You're not supposed to protect arms and legs, you're supposed to protect big targets, as in chest and head.
The only attention you should give for your arms and legs is for being as comfortable as you can be when engaged in a fight. Fully covering them with clothing so you protect skin, kneepads, elbowpads for bone protection.
Also, your clothing can't be saggy or baggy, it has to be tight.

That of course is only considered in case of medium-long range warfare and situations with limited gear, other situations like close quarters or chemical warfare have different things in question.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Fun facts about the BDU in that picture.

Sure it looks good and comfortable, but it's lacking in protection and makes the soldier a liability.

No, you stupid fuckface. BDU is the fucking cammies. Battle Dress Uniform. Your fucking gear is called something else depending on what branch your're in, each has a nickname for it.

Halo's ODST armor will always be my favorite
>>
>>324200332
I was thinking of putting mine back on.
>>324200625
For default armor it just looked like a flack jacket, upgraded armors with it looked like they had metal bits or whatever desu it wasn't on the elite soldier pack for ps3 so I never saw it until I got the PC version so I set it for that on rookies and maybe sniper because I don't like the binoculars on their armor, use it for some other soldiers too just depends on my tech level also.

Slightly serious thought: would putting something like carbon fibre discs (ie light and strong material) on the outside of the legs and arms be remotely feasible or effective? Like how some old Knight armor had interlocking discs for added protection against small arms, but instead sown onto the arm/leg clothing with much better materials used.

That always pissed me off, that fuck was responsible for thousands of deaths because he couldn't keep his nigger rage contained.

I'll never understand why they changed him from a Hispanic to a dumb nigger.

Then they bitch about wanting to fight with the boys when they can't drag a wounded soldier out of line of fire fast enough.

I'm totally down with the idea if they want to have girl only platoons. Actually that's a good idea as long as HQ makes sure they aren't calling in contact when they see friendly troops on the horizon.

Buck's armour is unique.
Hell I think it's the only armour set in the game that doesn't use that stupid fucking swimsuit/undersuit thing

I really like this, it looks like it works similar to the F35 helmet, where you have a HUD projected onto the visor.

That helmet though.
It's like the guy finished it and realized he forgot to fuck it up, so he stuck those tumors on the sides.
