Subject: Dare and Recon Helmet

I just read through the Meet the Team article on the frontpage and I have to say I don't really care for Dare's look. Having her clad in very minimal armor and then putting the large Recon Helmet on her doesn't really fit her armor scheme. Her head now seems too large for the rest of her body. Im not sure why Bungie didn't design a new, smaller and more compact helmet for her so that her armor would match, but Im sure Bungie still has some details regarding their choices still up their sleeves.

ODST's are suppose to wear armor that suits there task, also she is suppose to be the commander so she needs to look different. I agree that she looks a little awkward though.

Th e cake IS a lie

I don't know but it looks almost like it's a placeholder for something better

It looks good in the concept art, but ironically the final version looks terrible.

Never saw that concept art, but I do agree with you. The larger chestpiece at least balances the helmet size in that picture.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Having her clad in very minimal armor....

.....Ok, you just cooked up some images for me
<.<

But yeah, the helmet looks a bit large.

Perhaps you have nailed Bungie's design choices ... ;)

My theory is that they are trying to make Recon armor look less cool these days.
