I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

No, Spartans without Helmets would be silly. The Shields wouldn't graft over their heads.

Also, the Spartan image is a faceless hero. It should remain that way.

Both the physics and badassary involved would be destroyed.

yeah your right but i think it should be able to customize different looks like in firefight for odst like emblem color (but the standard spartan comes with olive drab armor) so what customization will there be for firefight

Customization should involve player model (Spartan, Elite, Brute), Chest, Helmet, Shoulder, Back, Wrist, Glove, Thai, Shin, and Foot.

Color Primary, Secondary, and detail. But detail should give you a limited paintbrush (about enough paint to cover the largest shoulder)

It didn't effect Buck or his team in ODST without helmets. Their helmets are supposed to shield their face,but it dosen't effect them when you take it off. If you shoot one of them in the head without their helmet, I doesn't kill them instantly.

That's because it's a GAME, and they NEVER had shields.

I'm not talking game mechanics, I'm talking suit mechanics. A SPARTAN's ENERGY SHIELD NEEDS THE HELMET TO BE ACTIVE.

Well that's in firefight, I don't know which mode the OP was talking about, because he said 'like in ODST', which suggests firefight (which is non-canon). But the fact that he's suggesting you have to beat Legendary to unlock the ability makes me think campaign, in which case it should effect damage taken.

Look, here's the point:

ODSTs DONT HAVE SHIELDS. This means if they are hit by a headshot, they DIE ANYWAY. So they can wear helmets if they want (Effectively like Gears.)

The Spartans' Shields REQUIRE THE HELMET TO BE ACTIVE. Otherwise the head is left completely unprotected, and a single shot from a pistol will kill them.

One of the things Spartans are best known for is their face being hidden. So no.

You should not, unless you want a shield flare to remove your head.
