In Response To: Halo 4 Helmet Guide IMG *Updated* (nillapuddin)
- Recruit: I'm glad the first helmet we unlock is one of the better helmets.
- Warrior: I've grown accustomed to this helmet, especially after drawing it once. I kinda like it now.
- AA: More or less the same as Reach's version.
- Soldier: Looks like the Commando helmet from Reach in a weird way, but it looks more like Commando than the actual Commando helmet does. The fuck?
- Aviator: Seriously dislike this helmet, it just looks completely silly.
- Orbital: I know this is to please the EVA[C] fans, but can I see this helmet without the skull?
- Infiltrator: Forgettable.
- Hazop: What happened to Hazop? The Reach version was supposed to look like a skull in a subtle way, but this doesn't look anything like the original.
- EOD: Yay! This helmet looks like the previous versions! I actually really like EOD, so this may be my go-to helmet for Halo 4.
- Oceanic: This helmet still strikes me as unnecessary.
- Defender: It's like a dumbed-down version of War Master... why have two similar helmets?
- Recon: Same boat as EOD- It looks a lot like previous versions. Makes me happy.
- EVA: What the fuck happened, EVA? I used to LOVE EVA in Halo 3, but then the Reach version didn't look as cool as the H3 one. I was hoping EVA would look awesome again, but I guess not. Yuck.
- War Master: I can appreciate this one for being over-the-top and completely silly.
- Scout: Same as Recon and EOD- yay, familiarity!
- Enforcer: Forgettable.
- Wetwork: Forgettable.
- Operator: Might be one of my favorites. It reminds me of Security in a way, but a little less bug-eyed.
- Pioneer: What the fuck is this all about? Terribly silly looking helmet.
- Pathfinder: Forgettable.
- Engineer: What is with the eye placement?
- Stalker: Forgettable.
- Rogue: I actually like this one, but it REALLY doesn't look like the H3 Rogue at all.
- Tracker: Forgettable.
- Vanguard: Forgettable.
- CIO: Splinter Cell, and forgettable.
- Venator: I like this armor set, actually- but I don't see this as something that fits with Halo in any way.
- GUNGNIR: I liked the blocky Reach version so much more than this one.
- Commando: Forgettable (doesn't even look like Reach Commando).
- Ranger: Is tha... Is that a fucking BUCKET?
- Protector: Forgettable.
- Mark VI: Eh... it sorta has the same shape, but it looks like it's rendered poorly or something. Lighting makes it look weird.
- Raider: Guess that's their answer to Hayabusa. No thanks.
- Deadeye: Forgettable.
- Locus: Love this helmet. I know people think this is just a dumb Gears of War/Doom reference, but I don't give a shit. I think this helmet looks downright cool.
- Scanner: I don't know what the point of having that thing over your visor is.
- Strider: Forgettable.
- FOTUS: Love this one too, just because it's completely over-the-top and silly.
There are a LOT of forgettable helmets, which makes me pretty sad. Especially since the reason they didn't bring back a lot of helmets is to make room for this silly shit. Maybe someone somewhere thinks the helmets that I found forgettable are awesome. Either way, I'm disappointed by a lack of Mark V, ODST, and a decent EVA. They could've at least brought back the Halo 3 helmet variants- I mean, we have 38 helmets here, and a lot of them look very similar to each other.
The thing I do appreciate is those over-the-top, "c'mon, that's stupid" kind of helmets like War Master and FOTUS.
