Awesome Sauce, you can't back up those claims about the helm visors working different for GUNGNIR vs other helms. ALL helms get static while sitting near the jammers in New Alexandria.
That and the fact if it worked exactly that way the skull would hamper vision, and thus reduce effectiveness. Carter nor Command would allow it.
Thus common sense wins the day with "It does not affect vision in any way."
Well to your dismay, I can...
Helmet: The MJOLNIR Helmet is one of the most crucial aspects to the MJOLNIR system. It is made of Titanium and contains key features like a Heads Up Display that links to the brain and hands, and can identify equipment and display information about it when it is picked up by the wearer. Another feature is the direct neural interface system which connects to a SPARTAN-IIs neural implants. Two core processor chips are implanted into the subjects skull in the rear of the head. This is essentially comparable to an on board computer using parts of the human brain for processing, when the connector at the rear of the subjects head and receptors in the brain link to the helmets on board sensors it creates the neural link needed to move the MJOLNIR suit. The helmet also contains other equipment to protect and aid the user in hostile conditions. This includes: filters to remove toxins from the atmosphere, a supply to provide air to the wearer during EVA, thermal and motion sensors, communications, solar-powered lighting, and imaging and video gear. The helmet also contains the A.I housing, where a ship-borne AI chip is inserted, located on the back of the helmet.
Thats the enire description of the Mark V helmet (standard base for all Reach helmets, except the Mark VI). And in that text there is nothing saying anything about a "projector like system". Where it says video and imaging gear it means equipment to take pictures or video within the helmet (like the pictures taken of the Covenant Invasion Army in the cutscene before the battle scene on "Tip Of The Spear", or the video taken of Six's death from his helmet in the last cutscene of "Lone Wolf") and not an actual viewing system.
I will grant you (like I said), the GUNGNIR helmet does have a projector, respectivily. One of the reasons that the front of the GUNGNIR helmet is so big and thick.
One last thing, in the cutscene/mission "Noble Actual", on the inside of the helmet (which you look into before putting it on in the Warthog) the visor doesn't look much like a display screen but the result of a anti reflectent film being shown at an angle. However, I have not seen the cutscene while wearing the GUNGNIR helmet, so that cant be comfirmed different for the GUNGNIR helmet, but I imagine that it is, since visor colors effect what you see.
If anyone has watched "Noble Actual" with the GUNGNIR helmet on please confirm that info.
