No Helmet Like in ODST?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

Just had a random thought… wouldn’t it be kinda cool to bring in an old option from ODST, where you could go without a helmet in multiplayer?

Not sure how that would work canon-wise, as I’m not sure how the shielding system is supposed to protect your head if you have no helmet on… But anyway, what do you guys think? An option like that might even allow for more in-depth Spartan customization.

Not only that, but maybe bring back old features from Reach and ODST and allow you to select a different voice actor, game announcer, or somehow integrate the kinect? I dunno, but I think additions like that would be great if implemented well, especially since these wouldn’t be major game-changers like loadouts or armor abilities, things like that.

I really don’t think it’s necessary and would just raise a bunch of confusing things like how shielding or the HUD work.

Maybe if there was some kind of Hub world type thing, but when you won’t even really be able to see your face, and you certainly wouldn’t be focusing on it in the middle of a match, it’s really not needed.

The Voices would probably have to be in Forefight/Spops.
As for the no helmet idea. It’s a bit too much for 343 right now, I personally would far prefer them to focus on more armour options (emblem placement, battle damage options and attachments).

Hm, maybe. I’d like to focus more on armor customization and such.
