Oops. I think I just lost your mind.

The GUNGNIR armor helmet has no visor, only a single camera on one side. This could possibly (likely) be a reference to Odin's one eye? Odin was the god who wielded Gungnir, btw; it was his spear. (Mjolnir was Thor's hammer).
Not much more to say?

I am debating whether or not that these are the right or wrong forums?...

according to Bungie, the Gungnir helmet was designed alongside the Spartan Lazer so the whole one eyed visor was because it went with the Splazer. The whole Thor thing is pretty interesting, looks like Bungie was a BIG fan of comic books ;)

Yep. Sounds about right.

Umm... or Norse gods? Thor wasn't invented with comic books =/

I believe it's Norse mythology, rather than the comics.
