not really. I like to game, I just dont care much for the customization aesthetics. It's like, "Dude, I just got my flaming recon helmet." Boom headshot. Looks like it didnt help. I mean in H3 there were people going nuts trying to unlock the katana armor and for what? You dont use a Katana in the game. It does nothing. None of the armor upgrades give you anything. It'd be different if they actually reduced damage, or increased your mags...something functional.
ITs buggy tho. I've seen a lot of spartans fully alive and have little hearts following them around the maps. Looks funny when some guy you've one shot a bunch of times finally gets his revenge and tea bags you while hearts are floating out his head.
