Neck is a bit too long.
Just short of comical.
Doubt 343 will address this.

I agree, I was hyped for the helmet until I put it on and saw how long the neck was. Looks pretty goofy

It looks okay in these renders:

Its your neck while wearing it.
Not the helmet itself
Omg you guys were talking about a helmet. I though you were talking about an actual giraffe.

This can all be prevented if 343 started to work with body- and head models and build the armor and helmets around it.
Morrigan gives you a giraffe’s neck. Cambion is such a small helmet it will crush everyones skull inside it. The Neon hawk and Neon screen armor effects were off center. Et cetera.
All these issues are super easy to be avoided. But I think 343 doesn’t care if things look realistic or not.

Does the neck part look different to the renders though? If you scroll down there are some pics with shoulders included. The helmet looks a bit “short” by design.

You can preview it ingame.
Neck looks long from any angle.

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly because the body/chest piece are significantly less bulky then the standard mark v and vii armors. Because of that, more of the neck is exposed.
Has anyone tried over lapping with transparency yet to compare the two body shapes between different cores?

Why do all canon cores have a gaping flaw?
Mark VII - grey chestpieces and other attachments unaffected by coatings
Mark V[B] - tiny helmets (most visible on ODST, Mark VI & Recon)
Rakshasha - looooooong necks (most visible on Morrigan & Artaius)

Don’t forget all shoulders being misaligned on Mark V(b). Every shoulder on that core looks horrible with the only exceptions being ODST and the sniper rounds from Jun, because those shoulders cover up that they’re misaligned.
Ikr, I saw that and began to die laughing. I wonder how well it would look on the mk7
Spartan giraffe at you’re service!!!
Rip fellow commando shoulder user.
I noticed it too. The whole reason I loved commando was that it was a blast shield. Now its just small and shrunken

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the neck is the same size as it always is tho?
Still looks goofy, in a funny way tho. Dying and seeing the noodle neck flailing lmao
If only playermodels were stretchy like they were in Halo 3.
