…343 brought the infamous “GRD” helmet into Halo 4?
A middle finger would be assuming that 343 is getting back at the community by implementing a once ugly helmet shown in a leaked screen shot for the Defiant Map Pack.
So no, it would fall in more towards “trolling” and “cool”.
What’s up with that helmet? I know that on Battle Canyon or whatever the Beaver Creek remake is on Reach, there is a little doll in one of the teleporter rooms with that helmet. What’s that all about?
Maybe, the GRD helmet will be the recon of halo 4.
If I recall correctly, 343 said they were trying DLC armor for Reach, but there was just no real dedication towards it, so they put the dolls in the new maps as a tribute.
(You’re going to have to trust me on this one, I don’t have a link.)
How about Halo 4 includes ALL the helmets that have been in the Halo series with all their diffrent varients. I’m not just talking about the helmets in the games, I’m also including helmets from the fiction like the SPI helmet. That way, NO ONE can complain that their favorite helmet wouldn’t be in the game. Even though this would probably be resource intensive, it would give the community a lot more customization options. 
Halo 3: Recon
Halo Reach: Haunted Helmet
Halo 4: GRD
It makes perfect sense.
And no, there are thousands of weird people asking for that helmet, there is like a 10000 reply thread on BNET.

What a shame. I would love to have some new armor in Reach.
