As far as power armor Halo ripoffs go I like the DOOM 4 armor, but I kinda feel Doomguy loses a bit of his badassery by implying he's got a powered suit which he punches demons apart with instead of his BARE HANDS and a green t-shirt.

I always assumed the Power Armor was more for environmental reasons. Doesn't matter how much of a murder machine you are, it won't help you breath on Mars.

It doesn't bother me if it's some kind of pseudo time travel and only the main characters remember what happened. But if everything is restored and also everyone remembers it, then what is this bullshit magic and how does it choose what's reversed and what isn't? Magic is fine but it has to have rules.

Yes, "halo rip-off" in that the armor would look perfectly normal were it suddenly to show up in Halo as either a prototype suit or a middle step between Reach-style armor and the hideous Mass Effect suits the newer ones have.
Ye Olde Doomguy of ages past had a helmet and what was probably some basic Kevlar or equivalent armor.The ironic part being that Multiplayer literally looks like Halo with demons

New Doom. It turns out it's the same Doom Guy who literally cleaned out hell and awaited demons to awake. One did and locked his ass up because Hell is literally scared shitless of him. He wakes up to find out scientists did the same shit like before and is really, REALLY, not happy about it.

Doesn't he break his restraints and crush a demon's skull with one hand before he gets to his armour?
>>343616423
He smashes a zombie's skull to paste by slamming it on the table he's laying on after shattering his restraints. So yeah, Doomguy's strong as fuck.
