Subject: What Purpose Does Taking Your Helmet Off Serve - In Game?

In the "Just Played ODST at E3" thread the OP says on page 20 that he saw something he thought he shouldnt have seen.. and later said that it was the ability to take off your helmet in firefight.. Why would you want to do this? Any advantage?

If you can, it's to make your character more unique. It serves no purpose other than appearance.

1. theres no way you can do that, it serves no point and he engine is not designed to do have a character model do that.

2. Doing so would take away your radar, HUD, compass, health bar, skulls (in firefight), how much ammo you have left, what your secondary weapon is, wave round or set in firefight, or even where your aiming. Soooo.... yeah pointless and serves no point. most likely a cinematic.


Sorry but I have the evidence

Can't wait to play Mickey without the helmet.

Just send me a FR if you want to play.

I play any playlist, and most customs, unless your version of infection sucks.

"per audacia ad astra"

death to the bieberfever!

ABOUT THE AMMO AND HUD THINGY...
if i'd be buying the collerters edition (pre-ordered it ofcourse...)
you'd have the ability to play as sgt. johnson,right?
well if you're playing with that character you'd be missing out a part... like the part that you wear a helmet cause i don't think that sgt. johnson will wear a helmet so that's not completely right with skulls,hud,ammo, removing thiny when you'd remove your helmet.
there is a possibility to remove your helmet...

Thats's sick man! Altough I'm never going to play without the helmet, i hate it when game developers create soldiers without helmets just so that they look cooler but any soldier would wear a helmet in combat!

As for the whole "they can't aim/see stuff", all UNSC personnel have a neural chip implanted in their skull like the SPARTANs did. So they can still see all that.

Just so you all know I was only talking about Firefight, helmets can only be removed in firefight as an option to customize your character, it wont make him any diffrent ecept for his looks.

I am the starter of the Just played ODST at E3 thread, hope this clears things up!

I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Well you still cannot take off the helmet, you just chose to not wear it before you go into combat :P

Just like Saving Private Ryan!

That would be so funny if you could do that in game.
