more hideous armor, greeeat

I might sound like a hater in this, but I’m just expressing my opinion(Is it so wrong to have an opinion?), not trying to start any flame wars.

The new helmets that has been revealed in the bulletin is very ugly(expect for the pathfinder, that one looks like of interesting). A few weeks ago, I thought that it might get better and nicer helmets(pathfinder the only exception) might be revealed, but no just more trash. I just cant get around it, the miniscule visors(you would have to go cross eyed just to even see out of them), the bulkyness, and the Elite(Sangheili) look that these helmets possess. I would expect Elite helmets to have a kind of weird design, but not spartans. The reach helmets looked so much better that these lame exuses for helmets. I think that these helmets detract from the Spartan look, I don’t think these spartans look as heroic as they should. they look kind of weird and covenant like with these helmets(Although that what might be what the designers at 343 want, i don’t know). I know its too late to do anything about it(Which is a real shame), but i wish something could have been done. I hope that at least the mk.V doesn’t look as hideous if its put in(It better be or that will really piss me off).

I like the look of most of them but for me, Operator is my Fav now.

I see where you´re coming from. I myself only like the Operator one. David Ellis has said that people who like the classic helmets would get their itches scratched though, so I´m eagerly waiting.

Rogue FTW!

thanks, thats a real relief to know.

The ones in the bulletin are ugly, agreed. Maybe with the exception of operator.

I’ve never liked most of the armor in Halo 3, Reach, and now 4. I’ll probably just stick with ODST armor if they haven’t ruined it.

It was in the weapons video I think. Or at least something that looks like it.

Idk what your talking about. I understand you have an opinion but man the art design in halo 4 is amazing. I think the armor looks way better then the previous halo games. I really do like most of the new helmets if not all of them and they are getting better. The chest pieces actually look realistic if we had armor like that today instead of just a big chuck of armor that covers your whole body.

I seriously don’t know how people can say they don’t like the new armor or helmets. I mean coming from an artist i truly applaud 343 for their art design.

Some of the helmets they have show from leaked screens while ago are descent but their not horrible. I Think most of what has been shown is way better then most of the reach helmets.

Idk maybe you will grow on them over time but remember they a rendered screens so thats what they will look like in game. Just wait to you see them moving around in different angles and stuff then you might like them more.

Pioneer looks very Forerunner, probably will be my choice.

don’t care about those helmets. I got Locus!

Why is all of a sudden has every one fallen for the operator helmet? O_o Its not ugly or anything it just seems like a basic helmet to me.Not like a Badass awesome looking helmet. Like the ones we seen so far. I’m not hating on it i just wanna know why people like it so much all of a sudden.

the operator isnt too bad, but it looks like a modern day pilots helmet(Like for a fighter jet). maybe just a little too plain though for my tastes.

I think it’s basic as well. It reminds me of the Commando Reach helmet, though commando looks better than operator in halo 4.

Operator is the least ugliest helmet revealed in the specializations.

I’m under the impression that gamers always pick the ugliest things imaginable.
examples being halo 3: Rogue, security shoulders, katana. Halo Reach: security shoulders, gungnir/mark 6, and the UA collar.

this also shows in assassins creed multiplayer. Look up assassins creed pariah. He was in every multiplayer match ever. But the knight? almost never except when I picked him. Not to mention the godawful ones in revlations.

There’s a conundrum present for me now, since I have no problems whatsoever with any of the armor, there is no -Yoink- uniform anymore in my mind. I love it all honestly.

I’m still hoping Mark V is available. If it is then i’m all set for halo 4.

whys the mark 6 ugly?

I’m not a fan of them… but they don’t look that bad. I do find it difficult to understand how spartans are supposed to see out of a couple of them though.

Yeah…about that. the forearm in this pic looks familiar, doesn’t it?

Personally, I found the Reach ones boring but I love the variety in the Halo 4 ones. To each their own I suppose.
