Unless you want to look more like a raging ignorant conspiracy theorist.

The name GRD came from a troll thread feeding misinformation that the GRD helmet was seen for a brief moment during the live stream when a bungie member scrolled passed it in the armory. People went crazy trying to find proof or pictures, and all the proof shown was just photo-shopped images of it.

I don't understand how you all even bought this for a moment as Bungie has said multiple times they know nothing about this helmet, where it came from or how to get it. If this is the case then why the -blam!- did you all think a bungie employee had it in his armory?

There is 0 reason to believe it is called the GRD helmet, it is just as likely to be called the Turducken helmet as I totally saw a evil otto wearing it on his player card on thanksgiving while I was eating a Turducken.

TL;DR The name GRD originated from a troll thread and should be called the BoB helmet due to its resemblance to the helmets BoB s from marathon had or simply the mystery helmet.

Im not sure which helmet the GRD is?

Why am I replying to this?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Does it really matter what it is called? What should everyone call it then? "404 Not Found"? If there is NO other proof for what the helmet is actually called, of course it is going to adapt a name that is subject to being completely incorrect.

It doesn't matter what the name is. Most people identify that one object by the name "GRD" whether or not it is the actual name. The name has been added to the vocabulary.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

Until the name of the helmet is known, it doesn't matter what you call it. GRD is fine because everyone knows what you are talking about when you write or say it... right or wrong. Suck it up cupcake.

  • 11.14.2011 10:13 AM PDT

And people should never have called Emile 'Skully' back before we knew the names. It was wrong and there was absolutely no evidence that that was his name! You shouldn't call it anything at all!

Yes we would still guess a name but, it is silly to guess a name that was obviously a false theory, BoB helmet made more sense as it was a valid theory not a troll post. Also people try to find out about GRD by searching for the letters GRD in the game which is ridiculous as it is obviously wrong.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

Who cares, omfg. This is becoming the new recon already. Next there are gonna be tons of "IcanHazGRD?" threads.

  • 11.14.2011 10:33 AM PDT

I actually prefer the name GRD over BoB...

GRD sounds...better. I mean, I'm not going to talk to my friends online and say "Huh, Imma switch to the BoB helmet" that just sounds stupid. :I

Saying "I'll swap to the GRD helmet." sounds much better even if the helmet isn't named that. Who honestly cares...it's a piece of virtual metal. I don't understand why people are going so crazy over something so stupid.

Then again. It's probably the Recon/Hayabusa thing all over again.
"I play this game so I deserve it!" or "I don't have that so I want it and I want it now! I am entitled to it!"

I'm sorry, what did you say about the GRD Helmet? You know, the GRD Helmet that is hidden in the game? The GRD Helmet that is 100% confirmed? There is so much evidence for the GRD Helmet.


lol GRD Helmet.

  • 11.14.2011 12:51 PM PDT

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

GRD sounds a lot more serious than "Helmet X"
BoB might be more appropriate, but GRD sounds better so that's the name the community has given it. Having origins in a troll thread doesn't invalidate it. If anything it's a very fitting name, given the amount of trolling discussion of said helmet incites.

So we should just make up a completely random name that is 100% false rather than use a name that is most likely wrong just because there is a chance that it is wrong? Your logic for not using "GRD" is because it is probably wrong. Your idea for a fix is to use something that is definitely wrong. Flawed logic is flawed + inspiration is waste of time; once again, the name is completely unimportant. If everyone can identify it by the name that was coined in a "troll thread" then let it be because it is identifiable by everyone.

Ego Slap quit whining. Seriously! Look Halo Anniversary just came out and there are GRD dolls on all of the new maps. So either way you slice it the helmet is and will forever be known as the GRD helmet. Don't like it? Wanna whine about it? Stop playing halo and get a real life! In short since Google recognizes the term "GRD" That makes it the most popular name therfore should they release it for halo 4 it will most likely by the GRD variant so there's the logic behind the name. 343 designed the helmet and kept it in their personal armories much like recon before the vidmasters so stop whining and move on. I love the helmet too but I gave up on the Halo series after completing the Anniversary campaign on Legendary Solo so all in all the GRD does not exist in REACH but has a very high chance of being in Halo 4, 5, and/or 6 so save up your money, buy the game, try to unlock the helmet, and look at the name when you do $20 says that it will be called GRD. It is NOT a bungie Helmet, that is why they don't know anything about it.

The last thing we need is more helmets.

I disagree good sir. if we had less helmets then there would be less peoples heads to shoot off.

also In my personal opinion... yes opinion something as an american having bought the game am entitled to... at least in my own mind, The GRD helmet isnt a helmet. its a dust collector something that is going to sit in your armory (if it ever gets there)and collect dust and you are going to blow off said dust every once in a while and say why the bloody dickens did I waste all this time.

Successful troll is succesful

GRD flows right off your tounge. Sounds like "grenade" or something.

How about we call in the imaginary helmet, because that the only place you'll find it.

Then how about they take off the helmets that way we can shoot the actual heads off instead.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!
