The fact that we are up to 50 issues in and still running strong is a testament to you, Halo’s diverse, passionate, and incredible fanbase. This week begins our first forays into what can be considered spoiler territory for Halo 5: Guardians.

Halo 5 REQ cards: Armor

Here are all of the “at launch” REQ cards for Spartan Armor (including variant paint schemes). There are actually about 90 different armors, with the rest accounted for as variant paint schemes.

The ranges of rarity are from Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, and Legendary.

As there are 175 Armor REQ CARDS, I’ve broken them up into the respective rarity category.

Which one is your favorite that you currently have and which is your favorite of all 175??? Continue reading →

[UPDATE] Heh, looks like I completely missed the fact that both Halo Reach and Halo Wars will be out the following month. AWESOME! Thanks Laird for pointing that out to me.
