Subject: What's with Halo Anniversary's crappy helmet for Chief?

Interestingly enough, when you migrate a gamertag from one email to another, your old Bnet account doesn't. Sigh.

Am I the only person who thinks the Master Chief actually looks worse in the remake than in Halo 3? Honestly, his helmet looks just.... bad. Is this just me?

Doesn't seem that bad to me.

  • 06.06.2011 12:09 PM PDT

It's nostalgic!

Stupid ass washing machine...

At first, I was totally with you. I thought his entire model looked.. off.

But actually, after comparing it to the original Mark V seen in Halo: CE, it's actually pretty accurate, and as AndyDaRoo said, nostalgic in it's simplicity.

Yeah, but the visor doesn't contain the same level of graphical improvement as the rest of the suit. After seeing the lighting effects in the newer games, here's an image of what we get now:

See what I mean?

Looks way different from a normal suit of Mark V, I agree OP. As well as the UNSC Marines looking exactly like UNSC Army troopers..

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I kind of agree. What would have been wrong with using the Reach design of the CE helmet? That was a good design. This one is just trying too hard to make it look somewhat polygonal it seems.

No.

I think that was placeholder.

The helmet used in the promotional art looks a hell of a lot better.

I am more put off by all the reused Reach stuff. It just doesn't look right.

Especially the fact that the marines have fingers but the rigs they're using doesn't so they're just walking around with their hands spread out in the default position with the gun floating above their palm...

Or the fact that the Halo Reach jackals don't fit the CE rig at all, so they have these hilarious looking scrunched up necks.

God, I hope all this Reach stuff (weapons/ characters/ props) is placeholder.

they fixed it, but too late to add it in the trailer. And it did look atrocious.

It's confirmed in an interview by Frank that it was a very early model, and was used for the E3 Trailer because they didn't have enough time and were rushing.

It has now been changed and looks tons better apparently.

It probably is the box art verison for anybody whos seen it.

I have a feeling that's going to be the case with Halo 4. I want to be wrong, however.

The Visor is too big, not shiny enough. They are fixing it.

If you're talking Halo 4, then I gotta disagree. I really like the Halo 4 MK VI armor. It just looks more practical and more maneuverable. On top of that, it looks like an actual natural progression from the MK V suit and not just a green Robocop with an inflated MK V helmet.
As for Cortana, a lot can change in a year. Plus even in the 1080p trailer she isn't that clear.

Cortana can change her apperance at will.

I think the brightness of the reflection on his visor in the announcement trailer is a bit too much, hence my original ideas. However, when he goes up the tractor beam near the end, you can see he looks almost identical to the original model just with updated graphics.

Well it's supposed to be the same as it was before just updated graphics. Looks classic Halo to me. If you played Halo 1 enough you'll feel... at home when you see it.

Anyways, it really doesn't bother me much. I am not expecting too much out of 343i's shot at Halo. The games will never be the same without Bungie's touch to them.

IT'S A PLACE HOLDER THEY FIXED IT ALREADY!!! GOOGLE IT.

-Early build,FRankie said it.

-No it's not,i'm would rather have a marine with Reach looks then a Marine with armor straight from Aliens.
