I didn't get into Gears until last year, around February, when I got a Gamestop gift card from my cousin and my brother figured we should buy the trilogy since it was so talked about as one of those "reasons to own an Xbox" games. It helped that all 3 used cost less than $10. We were pretty quickly hooked and completely satisfied just playing the co-op campaigns, each was its own testosterone-fueled adventure of balls-to-the-wall carnage and action cliches. I really dig the way that the combat is both tactical and fast-paced. I would doubt though that these new toys would have any swap-off armor since the characters in GoW wear mostly similar armor.

Regarding Halo I agree that the new armor stinks. I really enjoyed the first 3 and had a good time playing them with friends, ODST was a solid attempt to give us something a bit different, and Reach was a nice farewell to the franchise. Until Halo 4 came along with its convoluted themes, different composer , and armor that looked too Japanese or something (like the shoulder-pads were too big and the torso looked too busy). I was so disappointed with Halo 4 I haven't thought about touching Halo 5.
