Apart from everything that Halo Wars did wrong, the designs for the Spartans were downright badass.
Why wasn't it brought back? I love this armor.

The armor was silly looking. It was supposed to be the model from before the Mk. V (Halo 1), yet it was lighter and more advanced looking than the Mk. V to the point where it looked more like an alternative for the Mk. VI. Because of the lack of shielding technology, it should have looked bulkier and less maneuverable than the Mv. V for better ballistics protection (which is what the Mk. IV was originally designed for). Also, the helmet is kind of lame.
