I think I might have figured out something that someone has already posted here. Anyway haters gonna hate.
I think that the GRD helmet was never meant to be in Halo: Reach. 343i has been secretive about the whole helmet right from the start. What other thing is 343i secretive about right now?
I’m certain, that the GRD helmet was meant to be in Halo 4 the entire time. It was just modeled into Reach to give the fans something to speculate on, without directly saying what it’s about.

I don’t know. But it’s not as if it’s common for developers to talk about features they cut.
Also, there may be a hint of embarrassment to how the situation developed on 343i and Certain Affinity’s part.
