Why did 343 waste time making an armor for kelly?

If Kelly-087 prefers wearing helmets that have a full on mask VISR then why did 343 feel the need to make one for Kelly-087 when several full shield helmets already exist EVA & pilot for example.

Because Kelly-087 wanted them to?

Same reason they gave Fred, Linda, Locke, Buck, Tanaka, and Vale their own unique, new armors: because they wanted these characters to stand out.

And then they just give us the armour in multiplayer anyway? Doesn’t really help them stand out.

The armors we get to put on our Spartans in multiplayer share only the models of the armors used by the characters in the campaign. The color schemes and designs on the armors cannot be replicated. No matter how hard you try, you cannot fully recreate the look of any major Spartan character in multiplayer. You can get close, but that’s it.

The Hermes is an advanced variation of the EVA armor, equipped with a potent mobility subsystem that only a few can handle properly. Since Kelly is the fastest Spartan around, the speed advantages are a perfect fit for her.

It could be to introduce her in a new way.

I wouldn’t really call it wasted time with how big the team is you are acting like all of 343 took a break just to make her helmet.

Why did Bungie create a ton of armor variants in Halo 3 for you to use in the multiplayer even though it was canon prior to that all the Spartans wore the same armor and many times the only difference was the number on their chest and no one but Halsey could tell them apart?

I remember Halo 3 would simply not allow you to use 117 for your service tag in any form. Replacing it with i or L wouldn’t even work because it was reserved for Chief.

Just to be precise?
