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.


1) it'll be an armour permutation, not an ingame ability.

2) No it wouldn't. Because (Altogether now) it's a video game.

It's all just for looks. End of.

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?


actually its more of an aesthetic thing. How do u want to look to others?

im pretty sure u cant do it in-game. You just do it before FIrefight loads up like how u change ur armour permutation before a multiplayer match in halo 3.

taking your helmet off in-game would be ridiculously hassling to see kids going "Hey! i have a helmet!" then 2 seconds later "Hey!!!! Look it's gone!!! OMG LOOK AT ME IM AWESOME!!! AND MAGIC!!!!"

Dude, it's a game, you're still gonna have the hud. Sgt Johnson doesn't have a helmet, and if everything had to be super realistic like that, I doubt the elites would have the same general hud layout as a Spartan does in multiplayer.

WAIT I JUST REALISED SOMETHING

it would be sick if u could take ur helmet off during a game so u could throw it when u run out of ammo like in saving private ryan.

throwing pistol wouild be good too

Hear that?...It's the sound of no one caring.

So you can show-off your "Without visor-VISR" skills.

  • 06.20.2009 6:12 AM PDT

Just to distinguish yourself, just like the other armor options.

I'm really getting bored of just saying "Neural Interface" over and over.

Neural Interface.

so you can't mix and match your armor? =(

so i'm guessing the Rookie model will not have a helmet less version, and the Johnson won't have a helmeted version.

why do we need to justify it with "neural interface" ?
QUOTED FROM WEEKLY UPDATE
Q. wait a second! How will Johnson use VISR-mode? He doesn't even have a helmet!

A. It's a -blam!- video game

Yes you can.

Johnson's helmet on/off will probably be for his hat. I dunno.

Oh. Seeing as you're going to be playing as those characters, i dont think you can.
*Insert Frankenstein joke relating to the swapping of shoulders and legs here.*

if anybody complains about it not being realistic without helmet but with HUD again ill frigin murder them guys this is a game if youd rather that bungie made it so that you cant see HUD when helmets off then take it to them but if they do it (unlikely) everyone will be cheesed off because youll look kool but it will be dreadfull to play because you dont have any of the HUD advantages (primary weapon, secondary, ammo counter, VISR,etc.) i'm sick and tired off people sayng sgt johnson without helmet but with HUD is unrealistic and i think for gods sake if you hate a game for being unrealistic why ply HALO its probaby one of the most unrealistic games there is its se in the future with space travel spartan super soldiers and plasma guns god. and if anyone argues against this .........NEURAL IMPLANT!!!!!!!!
