I notice during Halo Reach all the Spartans except for Emile will remove their helmets at one time or another. In one of the books I read they were trained to keep their helmets on and that one of the spartan IIs (I forgot who) preferred to vomit in his helmet than risk getting shot in the head.
Why would they take off their helmets? Especially at a critical moment?
All the times they have their helmets off they are out of combat, and the most likely reason Bungie had them with their helmets off so frequently is so we could get to know them better, you can read far more of a character if you can see their face and read their facial expressions as they talk than they can if they're inside a helmet all the time.
That was an SIII, and if I remember correctly they had just been warped into what would quickly become a combat zone, not a good idea to remove your helmet there.
As for Six and Carter removing their helmets before they died. I'd assume Carter romved his to improve his vision, he was coughing up blood, I'd assume the inside of his visor was completely smeared with it.
And with Six, her visor was completely ruined, and the cracks in it certainly threw me off quite a bit trying to fight with them there. And I think Six knew her death was near anyway, a broken helmet won't do you much good in a fight if you're already going to die.
Spartans are never to take their helmets off and the SIIIs had a hard time following this rule. This is more of another example of how they are different from the SIIs who take the job as their life while the SIIIs just see it as a job which ends at 9 PM.
It doesn't matter reach was under attack and the planet is a hotspot not to mention they were sitting in the middle of a city being "glassed".
both mark V and SPI had a system that washed the faceplate of any vomit,blood,etc. so that doesn't cover it.
Where was that stated? O_o 'cause I really don't remember reading that at all, the only time I remember seeing it is here on the forums :/
New Alexandria wasn't being glassed until the end cutscene of the level "New Alexandria" and they'd just pushed back the attack on the current center of UNSC operations in the city, they were not under any immediate threat and were inside the facility.
Really? I didn't remember that, in any case I am pretty sure that it would not be that affective of a cleaning job, Carter's visibility in the helmet would still not be optimal.
