I thought it was because people were too lazy to try and model it all themselves. Call me a critic, but people really should do more giving and less taking.
This right here is why I learned how to unfold models so that I could give back to the community that helped me learn how to make Halo armor to begin with! XD
Also, I ams till working on editing that female torso by TheDigitalFix. It's taking me longer than most modelers since I don't know blender all that well. XD I've noticed detail in the chestplate that some people over looked. I've included what I could to the model with what little I know about modeling.
