Noble helmet? Nice, but where's my helmet?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Noble helmet [aka commando] looks nice from the pics I see from halo 5. But even with that and breaker, and the other confirmed gears.
I don’t see my favorite, yet. =(

Might seem selfish but, since halo 3 and it’s customisable armor.
I started it found my preference of default gear,
CQB.
Unlocked the rest but I stuck with it, loved it.
Reach comes out, and doing some digging i found
Cqb as a waypoint unlock.
I immediately went for it, I got my look back.
So for 5 years I wore the same helmet and i started to identify with it.(8 years now)
I felt I wasn’t in halo 4, my character wasn’t there.
I feel I won’t be in halo 5, unless cqb is brought back.

>>>Also what’s a better title for this thread?

Well there is said to be tons of armor coming to the Halo 5 and security has been announced to be returning so its possible your favorite may come back.

Since they’re only making armor for helmets, visors, and torsos, they’re going to have lots and lots of customization options for those 3 armor parts. I would be very surprised if CQB wasn’t there, unless they decided to focus more of their time on new designs. CQB doesn’t really fit in with their art direction, which is why I guess it wasn’t in Halo 4.

If it does come back I hope it’s not like mk5 was in halo 4. =) or how odst looked during beta.

I know odst was fixed, buck wore a nice one in trailer
#343 #CQBBACK
I hate hashtags.=(

I feel you on how armors are handled Mk. V looked weird in Halo 4 which is what I would’ve worn, but I stuck to Enforcer because it had that older look to it. I’m sure we’ll see a comeback of armor from previous Halos. My one wish though is to see armor yet to be presented fully or at all in a game like Mk. IV and SPI armor. Mk. IV may have made an appearance in Halo: Reach, but it was a modified variant and I hated the art direction that Halo: Reach took the franchise. SPI might not make it into Halo 5 just because it’s so slimmed down from a full suit of Mjolnir and has a helmet similar to EVA, but I still would love to see the armor that Tom, Lucy and every Spartan-III wore in action.

Off-Topic: The armor worn by Edward Buck is known as Helljumper while the armor unlocked from watching the series Nightfall is known as Nightfall. Two different armor variants my friend.

I think Halo 5 needs WAY more customization! It should have more! This is less customization than Halo 3!

7

I hope they bring back some of the older armors. Personally i’m not a huge fan of the recent art direction on the S4 armor.

Dude, it’s compensated for. Shoulders are swapped for visors, assassinations, and skins that actually can be seen.

If the community pushes hard enough, I’m sure 343 could release some downloadable armor content (free?? :D)

They’ve already said they’ll be adding hundreds of new things to the REQ pool post-launch.

11

To be honest they are keeping things secret mostly to aid in surprising you. So just wait and hope it’s in the base game or req packs. If it isn’t, try and see if you can voice for it to be added in the Post-launch Req pool

12

I would love to see CQB come back.

13

tbh, REQ packs scare me, I know I wont like them. complication is not innovation.
but if I have to buy them to get gear…not guaranteed to get wanted things either, so not looking forward to it.

But free DLC in a AAA shooter is.

Hmm that got me thinking in the future Halo games what if they allowed you to make your own helmet and armor.

CQB is based off of a traditional Spartans helmet.
(A real life one)
You have the t shaped opening, the top has a “nose guard”, /cheeks.
Could a helmet be more like a real spartans?
Maybe a classic, ua, and or halo 5 style ?
