Hey 343, is it possible to alter the look of the GEN1 Mark VI Helmet look more like the Halo trilogy version post launch? I think the GEN1 version should look more authentic to the original because right now, it’s identical to the GEN2 iteration. As for the armor, the space diaper is already there. What more do you need?
Oh my god! Finally someone who agrees with me! I always preferred Bungie’s MK VI but it seem that 343 is not liking it ahah. I made a topic about the REAL look of MK VI helmet months ago but without any support. 343 even changed the visor, It looks different from H3.
Mk VI is my fav armor of all time and i’m sad that even in H5 is ugly as it was in H4 
The rest of the armor is fine (That belt is back finally! Without that i feel spartans are naked). Just the helmet must change.
I actually prefer the new look to the helmet.

If it is the GEN 2! 343 called it GEN 1, so it would be nice to see the right helmet matching with the name, or in this case the series of the armor.

Agreed. It has the same look of the old one, just updated.
There is very little that looks different between the two designs. Also, these renders are outdated.
I don’t care, i love the old design <3
The renders are outdated but the helmet will look the same as the render. I can’t understand why 343 took the Commando helmet from reach and copy and pasted it while MK VI is a little bit different from its original look (H2 and 3).

Because it’s for Gen 4 SPARTANs.

And then why don’t change Commando helmet as well? The only thing changed is the name. Why can’t do the same for MK VI?

Yes but it’s GEN1 armor. The wearer doesn’t have any effect on the design of it.

Don’t forget the fact that in H2A mp 343 used the same mk VI helmet from H4 which is wrong because they are spartans II not IV with new helmets design.
It’s a huge frustation to see a perfect MK VI in campaign mode (speaking of H2A) and the same MK VI from H4 for mp…

I imagine Certain Affinity took that decision as they based Halo 2 Anniversary on Halo 4’s engine - it’s a modified version, tuned to feel more like Halo 2. It would have been quicker/easier for them use existing assets, rather than spending time re-creating others that could be used to work on other features.
edit I’m reminded of one of the MCC panels where Max was talking about the time they spent trying to make sure the jump physics / animation was just right, so it felt just like your were playing the original Halo 2. Wanted to highlight that before anyone started throwing the “lazy” word around.
I will say that the side profile of the 343 mark vi looks better than bungie’s (Imgur: The magic of the Internet), however it’s too squished in the middle when you see the front of the helmet: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (except h2a multiplayer, i’ll get to that later,) while the bungie mark vi, along with the infinite gen 3 sometimes, looks really round (Imgur: The magic of the Internet, Imgur: The magic of the Internet, Imgur: The magic of the Internet). Compared to a human head (Imgur: The magic of the Internet), h2a multiplayer, imo looks is the most logical (Imgur: The magic of the Internet), however it certainly doesn’t look the best. if they were to make a helmet with the side profile looking as great as the 343 mark vi while still maintaining human proportions, then that would be my preferable pick.
Edit: VERY VERY SORRY, DIDN’T NOTICE THIS WAS AN OLD TOPIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
