So look, I know it’ll NEVER happen BUT; how cool would it be if we could choose helmet less like in ODST?
I know this Convo has probably come across veteran forum stalkers, but it’s fun to bring up again as tech progresses.
Honestly I think it’s just another avenue to get armor out of the store. They could EASILY make ALL no helmet expression gear store based.
Beards.
Hair
Tattoos and piercings
Accessories like head band cat ears for your horror kawaii Spartans out there!
MP menu/ player card/ end of game victory pose Spartans holding helmets.
Pair this in with the hope of custom armor patterns and maybe one day some cracked visors too (tell me that wouldn’t be sick)!
Take that image I just gave you and imagine with me for 2 minutes what could be.
It’s 1:01 on the clock. The score board is 2-2. You have the flag. You zoom up right and slide out the second floor room into the alley out below. Your team mates rushes for the bulldog, as you round the corner the enemies are Nading the doorway. Teammate manages to take one down and dies in a dual melee death. It’s the home stretch but the delay sees you at 17 seconds.
You clamber the dumpster avoiding and ducking commando and BR fire and deposit the flag. Shield cracked and barely living.
Victory screen
There stands your Spartan . Battle torn and scrapped armor with faded plasma scorch burns. His face young but scarred. An eye is white and slightly closed. Crop top hair and a 5’clock shadow.
In his hand a Mark V (B) helmet with a cracked silver visor.
The match ends.
Again. I never expect this to become a thing in halo, Like Ever ; but tell me that wouldn’t be the most Bad Donkey you ever rode to town on?
