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

That's what happens when for whatever stupid reason the company decides they want MC to look like he's using 10 year old graphics...with new graphics.

Seriously, MC only looked so blocky and ugly because 10 years ago that was all they could do.

He's SUPPOSED to look like a MK V spartan in Halo: Reach.

Why not use that model?

That's not the final build.

The finished build probbaly looks like the remake box art which looks badass as hell.

The helmet used in the promotional art looks a hell of a lot better.
Agreed. I was going to bring this up.

As for the 'current' model; it looks about on par with Halo 3's MK.V, but with a bigger visor.

Scandinavian Master Race!

Oh look...
Seriously it was an old model they used for the trailer.

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

This, Frankie said it himself.

even the halo reach mark V helmet is kind of weird. They made the visor edges in the middle too rounded and i think the original halo CE version of the mark v is still the best looking one

  • 07.24.2011 1:59 PM PDT

I'd rather them make the mk V look like it does in Halo: Reach.

  • 07.24.2011 2:03 PM PDT

Yeah, I agree, looked kind of retarded, 'that was ten years ago, this is now' Me: WTFBBQ?

But the promotional art's alot better and I hope it looks like that in the game. It's my wallpaper.

i think they tried to make it look updated but still have the halo combat evolved feel to it, you know a little bit of the retro vibe.

  • 07.24.2011 2:28 PM PDT

Oh hey there

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

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?


That is an old build of the game. It will look better in the final version.

other then the helmet whic does just seem a bit ...off? yhe suite looks fine ecept the damn lights is he a augumented super soldier or a Xams tree? how the hell could you stealth in that?

  • 07.24.2011 3:14 PM PDT

watch the new gameplay video. They have a different model.

  • 07.24.2011 3:16 PM PDT

you realize it is different armor right?

You simply cannot compare the helmet in Halo Combat Evolved :Anniversary to any other game besides Halo : Combat Evolved . From what I've seen , it looks more crisp and clear then the original .

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

I'll probably just read the terminals online and play my original CE copy if I get bored.

  • 07.25.2011 9:51 AM PDT

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

That was just a placeholder in order to get a trailer ready for E3.

The gamertag linked to this account is an old one. My new one is James Voe Guy.

It's just the same helmet as the original Halo CE, which is probably the point. I thought that it looked pretty good.

  • 08.01.2011 10:33 AM PDT

Placeholder wasn't that amazing in terms of details. Thats for sure.
But it did look like a nice hommage to the first screenshot we ever saw of (shooter) Halo. With the tall visor and more bucket-shaped look.

But I just hope the final model will look like the one on the boxart (big suprise: it probably will...) and not like the lame remakes of the Mk. V helmet they had in H3 and Reach.

Its not final, they already said its being addressed.

My Grandfather was a Desert Ranger, my Father was a Veteran Ranger in the NCR. My father was killed by Caesar's Legion and they took my Brother. It's now my responsibility to uphold the mantle of the Rangers and avenge my Father and find my Brother.

Too much MacWorld 1999.

They changed it.

  • 08.01.2011 12:22 PM PDT

I'm probably not the first person to notice this but I also haven't seen anyone else mention it. Yeah they changed it, you'd think they'd just use the architecture on the chief from Reach, or at least similar to it. Having said that, I'd like to invite everyone to watch the anniversary trailer (has to be in HD) and forward to the segment where it says "co-op over xbox live", roughly 1:15 in depending on where you watch it. look closely, the second chief playing along with the first person is clearly visible as the same model from reach. Personally, I'd prefer it that way, I think the Reach aesthetics are the best yet, but thats just me.

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?

Its not just you.
When I first saw the trailer, I was like "What the F?!?!?"

  • 08.05.2011 11:09 PM PDT

Better than halo 4 armor.
