Dear 343i, Please Return/Redesign New Helmets

Hopefully this thread hasn’t been made countless times so far but if it has I apologies.

Specifically directed to the visual designers of H4’s Spartan Amour I humbly request that you guys bring back older armor designs or redesign older amour designs but redesign them, “modestly”. This is especially the case for helmets.

Although from what I’ve seen from the rest of the armor being released most of it looks amazing IMO but a couple of the new helmet design seem unappealing to me and I support people who are uneasy with visor less helmets as well.

But I just want to make it clear that 95% of the armor designs look incredible from helmet to boot and the art direction is like nothing I’ve ever seen. You guys are doing an amazing job!

I don’t think they’ve released pictures of all the helmets yet.

There is bad looking armor in the game, but it is much too late in the game’s development to create new designs or dramatically change those already in place.

They could theoretically take the ugly armor out, but I personally would rather they leave it in, so I can just not use that particular armor but others can if they want.

It was someone’s job to design those helmets, and our community has been so rude and close-minded towards 343i trying to innovate in this department. We should be ashamed as true fans of Halo. We need to give it a chance.

“I’ve only seen about 1/16th of all the armor in the game.”

“DO IT OVER 343i”
WHAT.

ignore this, I’m dumb.

> I don’t think they’ve released pictures of all the helmets yet.

Oh definitely not, which is why I created this post as a request for the next set of armors they are creating or have created if any.

Just noticing, your statement is concurrent with your name ^.^

But I like to believe that these are simply the craziest helmets to show off what they’ve got. They’ll have remakes of old, it’ll be fine. More “normal” helmets as well.

I think you’ve misunderstood me. I don’t want any armor already established to be change an I am fully aware that that is not even a possibility. This is directed to the possibility of 343i creating more armor selections.

But regardless, I honestly enjoy the style and creativity of each and every design. I am in no way bashing on these designs, just to clarify. This is merely a request.

A handful of the armours do look quite odd and silly, yes, but I gotta admit that I love them anyway. Scanner helmet? Give me that and I’ll wear it any day!

I’ve never liked most of the helmets in the Halo games. I only really like ODST, Mk. V, and Mk. VI.

The only thing I’m wondering is why they would expand on the visor colors if there are no visors to color.

Good question. But I think the visor less helmets will be the minority toward helmets with visors.

They’re not bad… just different. I’m kinda digging them

Very absurd to be asking for redesigns now. Just stay away from the ugly ones.

Has anyone forgotten that 343i gets to design the game? Let them do what they do- if you don’t like what they create in Halo 4 then don’t play it

Eh, weak?

I don’t like the look of most helmets, but luckily a couple do stand out for me so I’m not so bothered by it. However I would still like to see the return of some of the classic designs from the past games.

Agreed.
