In Halo 3 and ODST, the Recon set (especially the helmet) looked really quite cool, rare and desirable, while keeping a ‘reconny’ look to it. However I feel that in Reach, it doesn’t quite look the same, and I’ve only seen one picture of the new helmet, and I’m quite disappointed to see that it now looks like a fish with a visor. If there’s any other screenshots or concept art out there, am I wrong, or has recon definitely been ruined?
Does it really matter? You should be caring more about broken mechanics rather than a meaningless helmet.
Yeah we’ve seen only two pictures of Halo 4’s Recon helmet both in bad image quality and we have yet to actually see it in the game so yeah it’s ruined.
I say its been ruined because somebody made it so that everybody has Recon in Halo 3 Cough Bungie Cough
It used to be a rare armor and one to say I earned this and made you well me feel proud to wear it.
Looking at it now its just a plain simple piece of armor. Hopefully Halo 4 will have a rare armor like Halo 3 Recon before it was available to everybody.
IMO the recon helmet has always been fugly, and for some odd reason everyone and their dog wanted the fugly thing.
I definitely think that Recon looks more awesome in this game than it did before. Here’s a link to the Halo 4 version of it: Recon Now if you compare it with the Halo 3 version of Recon, the orange visor part of it looks more flashy imo.
Was never interested in Recon even in Halo 3 days. I didn’t care about getting it. It’s not an impressive helmet to me. The Reach one is decent and the Halo 4 one is Borderline ugly.
I like the new look myself.

is it me or do those look pretty much the same? just sayin
I see no problem with new armor. I found some old armor ugly too. Doesn’t mean I hated them.

TL;DR
I DONT LIKE CHANGE, AND I AM NOT OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. 
I actually thought the Reach version looked the best. But I suppose at this point in time, Halo 4’s Recon variant could undergo some change. I’m hoping to see it look more impressive than its Reach counterpart.
Quite the opposite for me:
Hated it in Halo 3, I thought it looked dumb.
It looked pretty good in Reach when it was white and had a black visor.
I like it a bit better in Halo 4.

His feedback is actually legitimate, more so than your response.
Yes, I know it’s a meaningless helmet than has no effect on the game whatsoever, but my thread was specifically about the recon helmet, not about how 343i has ruined everything and how the magnum is over-powered. Stop trying to make yourself look intelligent.
I understand that people have their own opinions on how they like the new model, but in MY opinion, I think they should’ve kept it the same.
I remember before Halo 3 was released i think it was called the cobra helmet or something? It looks bad in Halo 4. I’m judging from the pictures I’ve seen so far.

They were kind of similar, but I disliked the back of the model on reach. Thought it was too plain and round.

Hence why I was asking if anyone had any more images of it, -Yoink-.
