I’m not trying to hate…I think the new helmets look cool…but they don’t really look like something a spartan would use. I always like to believe the spartan helmet was built and used because it gave them an “advantage” for a certain mission (I know this does not affect multi-player you just see your HUD regardless of helmet choice). The helmets look more and more like an alien race…cool and all, but for spartans look kind of silly. Just wish the helmet art would have taken into account functionality.
Overall I’m happy we just get loads of new swag helmets to work toward. What do you think??
I get that 343 is putting their stamp on the franchise, I like the direction they are taking Halo. I have always felt halo has done a good job of giving the fans what they want in terms of playlists and what not…H:CE fans will have their old school game play…is my guess.
Just wish that stamp 343 is putting down looked half way believable with regard to the helmets.
Agreed…they do look cool…but do they look like an alien head or something that a military would develop to give their soldiers an advantage in the field? I think they just look “Cool”. That’s all I’m saying.

Yea…I had no problem with that helmet for that exact reason. I could always see that helmet used to focus the sniper on the task at hand…given that they had a spotter helping with a different more functional helmet.

Even spartans need spotters. But i think the ones i have seen so far have seemed pretty functional. Being that spartans could have very specific specialized skills. Also a spartans hud could still be a full screen like the master chiefs but still only have a visor that is the size of a quarter or in the shape of a triforce. Plus whos to say that the spartan wanted that look and requested it?

Well played senor…I’m just saying that I don’t believe that a company is going to make a bug-alien helmet and say “put it on, looks rad” It just doesn’t remind me of UNSC military style…that’s all.
It all does look cool. But I wish we could see some more visors, whats with this extreme lack of visors? Also, I agree with the OP, before, helmets always looked like they suited a specific purpose, now they look really generic, like something from Planet Side or any other generic sci-fi shooter. The older Halo variants always looked like they had a logical reason to be given the shape they had.

technically since the spartan III’s they have been much less about military and much more about allowing the spartans to show off some of their personality in return for being pretty much the biggest money maker in a battle. In any battle.

I think it’s more like “This helmet was designe with X in mind.” as opposed to “We wanted to make a helmet that looked cool.”
They’ve always hinted at that in the descriptions of the armors.

True…but I was really hoping for something like the SPI armor/helmet…maybe that’s one of the special sets they’ll drop on us…at least it looked sweet and looked like something a spartan would use.

And i can’t agree more SPI does look awesome and i am hoping for it but at the same time i am also looking forward to Pioneer which looks like a fat geth but could still be pretty cool.

You would think 343 could do some cross game stuff with Lucas Arts and get a couple of cool storm-trooper helmets for fun.
