While this may not be a big issue, it is something that just bugs. I previous Halos, the visor texture actually looked like amazing shiny glass, with a beautiful brown gold colour. But since Halo 4, 343 have decided to go with a more plastic texture to the visor and armour, which makes master chief and the multiplayer spartans look like action figures. Halo 2 A: Visor/ Halo 3 Visor.
It is likely that it will change between now and launch. The same thing happened with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
Fair enough, I just hope the visor looks like glass when the games is released. Fingers crossed for Halo 5 aswell.
I actually like it. I had the same thought, but I think it looks good. The original Halo 2 visor wasn’t all that shiny (I don’t think it was possible to create a texture like that then) and the Halo 3 visor was sweet, so I’m torn. I’ll be happy either way.
Big shiney visors are terribly impracticle
You’re not looking at a finished product. It’ s a work in progress.

From the Halo 2 picture you linked you, it appears that reflections haven’t even been added to the build yet. The graphic fidelity will increase as the finalize it all.

I don’t care much for practicality, I want things to look good. Halo 3 machinimas looked the best by a huge margin.

Yeah you’re probably right.
I must say that making Chief’s visor look like plastic is bugging me. They did it in a more slight way in Halo 4, and it just didn’t feel right. It just looks a lot more realistic with the reflective glass look.
Hopefully his visor changes colors to the more traditional gold. This isn’t a finished product, like most everyone has said, so there is still plenty of time to change
