Strider is okay. Scanner is unspeakably terrible and I really hope it's not trying to replace GUNGNIR.
It's a fucking VCR strapped to your helmet.

Lol the scanner's helmet part looks like a CD-DVD drive.

GUNGNIR is still in Halo 4 IIRC. If that scanner piece is an optimal bit, the helmet wouldn't be bad at all. But yeah, looks dumb with it on.

The completionist in me is really wanting to get the console for the extra crap, but...I really don't nerd another 360.

A helmet with a CD-Rom. Dose it have Windows 3000 installed?

Shh. On my phone. Usually I check for mistakes. Oh well.
I laughed at that more than I should have when you quoted it...

Because of it's sheer bad, it's going to be the most popular next to whatever resembles Chief/Mark V-VII

What I really like is it seems like they're just letting loose with some of this. Just whip up a concept and bring it out. Thats what makes the best shit happen.

Looks like they took the term 'scanner' literally.

Is that Scanner helmet the UNSC version of the Nintendo virtual boy?

I don't....why is the formatting weird? Why was I not actually quoted? Why did you host the post link button on imgur? WHAT IS GOING ON?Originally Posted by Ajemsuhgao:

The Virtual Boy has returned for your soul.
Fuckin wit yo mind, son.
But so far there's been nothing that good...
Not to be team downer on this but considering I love the "dress-up"/customization aspect in videogames that allow them I have been really disappointed with a number of unveiled helmet designs as most have come off as weird. Some barely even resembling a helmet. I would also like to see more designs with visors and not just dome visors.

I don't know; I just think of Reach's safe and clunky armor and I see this all as way better. More experimentation, more fun, and I think it looks way sharper and more realized.
Reach's helms were pretty good but also pretty plain. When I think of the other parts of the armor, Halo 4 just destroys Reach.

I'm on the same page as you re: loving the dress-up stuff. But the helmets we've seen have looked FAR better than the stuff that we saw in the E3 build. Some of those helmets just looked stupid. I'm assuming they've been polished up now.
Recruit also looks awesome, and it's making me pretty happy to have gotten the LE.
But there's a fine line between Experimentation and Over saturation. I'm all for NEW helmets, but i'm also AGAINST every helmet looking ridiculous.
There are a few helmets that i'm absolutely in love with so far. I just hope to see some old helmets, too. CQB has always, and will always, be my favorite.

Buddy and I are playing Reach. Go into Objective. Get matched with three randoms against a team of five Inheritors. Oddball Countdown.
Naturally they start destroying us, one random goes AWOL and starts to betray after dropping -7 then eventually gets booted, the Inheritor team then drops the ball at 149 to play slayer as anticipated. I sent one of them a message mid-game saying "Don't be a dick, just win the game." He waited until after the game, where he replied, "I just wanted to have more fun xD."
It's times like these where I hate playing this game. How the in the hell does it make sense to match virtually five randoms up with a full team at max rank?
HAhahaha you got Oddball Swordbased!!
Pretty much this. Although one set of armor that was revealed with specializations was pretty cool.. Operator, I think. Reminded me of Security

I'm okay with Halo 4's armor, and I do appreciate that it's more athletic and less hulking, like Reach's armor. But the helmets are borderline grotesque. It's like a Spartan's face got shoved in a blender.
Someone in a gaming side thread a few weeks ago put it well when they said that all the helmets look like crinkled up tin foil. There's so much weird geometry. I'd say it's good in concept, but not well realized at all.
