Ranking Helmets from HALO REACH | How can they be IMPROVED?

[@Ms_Lynxi]

Would be interesting to see a tier list of all iteration/ redesign of helmets over the years, like Recon, Eva, Scout ect. Example: Recon H3, HR, H4 and Trailblazer aka Recon for Mark 7.

[@Wernissage]

That’s a fun idea!

[@ToaOfFusion]

He just straight up called the GRD helmet the Kopaka helmet. 10/10 Would want you to rate helmets again

Hurt when Operator got B tier but I remember thinking it didn’t feel so epic with attachments that remove the top goggles thing cause it really does give it a lot of it’s character. Which is kinda the thing pilot needs but does a little better with its base and adding the forehead piece.

[@afd19850]

I would have unsubbed if he put it in C lol

[@faberthecatgirl]

Operator has been my go to helmet for over 7 Years

[@amithabraham2224]

I looked like "Sad Keanu" when he put Military Police in C tier, the helmet was supposed to look like a marine helmet with a mouthpiece

[@anthonysibilia685]

See for me Atleast imagine if they added like a night vision attachment, like he drop down quad lens, I think it would fit operator so well! It gives me a spec ops vibe

[@thecourier7964]

Operator is my baby. It deserves to be in infinite.

[@lustyhuntermain]

I like the Air Assault helmet for its feminine ‘look’ and it’s less mean look in terms of my play style in Reach, though I wish it had more attachments like the lil flashlight and the UA attachment seen on the Mk5 helmet

[@hawkeyetrickshot3164]

Yeah Air Assault is very soft and kind looking.

The pilot helmet is my favorite helmet in the whole halo franchise and when you add the UA/HUL accessories it makes the helmet perfect hoping they put it in halo infinite

I absolutely love the Operator helmet, my all time favorite

[@alext.9033]

IKR, Wish it was in infinite!

[@ihackedmyself]

Mark v b was almost perfect. But it always annoyed me that you couldn't have just the visor attachment without having to have the Hul attachment on top of it. It was especially strange, since a version with just the visor attachment was present in the beta, but not the full releases

[@mindlessgmr]

It would also be nice if 343 could remember the helmet brim existed after it came out. I actually quite like the HUL attachment with it, but so far in Infinite, it's missing it's most unique part of it, so it hurts to look at it there.

[@clearwater4470]

YES! That visor/brim somehow adds a lot to how cool the mark v b is. If you could have the visor without the up armor then mark v b would be the helmet I use

[@alexanderrobins7497]

I wish we had more attachment options available. Most attachments can go on most helmets without a problem, but we only get two pre-selected combinations. It sucks when I want an attachments, but it adds or removes something I don't want it to. I would have preferred another season dedicated to Reach helmet and chest combinations instead of more Call of "Halo"-esque armor added to H3, or those non-Spartan Mjolnir last season.

[@xXbrokenvoidXx]

@@alexanderrobins7497 I hate how Infinite made the helmet attachment system even worse. You can't have multiple attachments even if they occupy a different spot on the Helmet like left/right/top/front. No UA piece with the CBRN filter, no Tac-light on one side with comms module on the other :(

[@Cheezmonka]

I know this would've made the video WAY too long, but certain helmets benefit more than others from color customization. Gungnir is a prime example of something that looks better with some contrasting colors.

[@kardfendarr4987]

My favorite helmet from this game is EOD. I like the visor style here compared to the one from halo 3.

[@benjaminalderson5644]

The special thing about reach's armor is that the attachments and customization can completely change how good these helmets look. Some of the c and b tier look like s with the right attachments

[@thegreatgoatking.kingofall4001]

The one thing I dig about the military police helmet is that it’s as close to a normal trooper helmet as you can get. Being basically the space trooper helmet with a opaque visor

My favorite has always been CQB. I think the shape of it makes it more expressive, and the more round shape better fits with it being a helmet in my eyes.

[@eduardocastellanos9197]

Really enjoy your videos and agree with most helmets except recon, I fell like Recon was at it’s best in Halo Reach, it’s smaller profile fit it’s purpose of stealth better. I feel like Reach nailed the believability and aesthetic of functionality with it’s Spartan 4 armor which is what gave Halo Reach’s armor such a unique utilitarian aesthetic compared to previous Halo games. I think these qualities are best expressed in the Commando, Scout, Recon and Mark 5 Helmet. These are the helmet I feel you can see a helmet and instantly guess it’s purpose.

[@devindalton4688]

Spartan 3*

[@bananawingz8624]

When you put ODST in S tier I clapped. My favorite helmet in all of Halo. Curious to see your opinions on the firefall helmet

[@Lazypackmule]

Yeah, gungnir never really looked like a helmet at all, I always called it the toaster Was really confused when I found out some people really liked it

[@notagreen-fiend9029]

[ *Edit at End of Reply:* Infinite's GUNGNIR is more smooth, no details _nor ornation of Odin's Spear_ symbol, and _bigger triangle-chin_ parts... *_making it look like a beaver,_* 🤭 ] To be fair, the Blocky-Visor _(called a Blast-Visor)_ is an attachment that helps the Spartan link with the Spartan-Laser. A distinct reason that helps me feel more acceptable to it 😊... + being a *one of a kind helmet & attachment* and not something common-use on anything else... + _Named after the Spear of Norse-God Odin?! 😃 lol I _definitely_ get why people would not like it, still 🙂.

[@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD]

The gungnir is like one of those androids that have a uncanny neutral face. A machine with no emotion. Lol it has one eye but on its side making it lack symmetry so it looks like a machine trying to pass off as a hUmAn BeInG and it’s named after a weapon. The spear of Oden…or in this case the spear of the unsc. A weapon thrown by a god.

[@commissarcactus1513]

Reach has a lot of great helmets, and also a lot that are just okay. I think AKIS GRD/CBRN deserves a mention for looking much better than the other AKIS versions. I'm also fond of having prominent attachments, especially large sensors, so AKIS GRD/CBRN and Mariner OPTREX are among my favorites. Commando and ODST are inescapably S-tier though. Total agreement there.

[@emilefragz1885]

CQC was probably my favorite. About the only one I disagree with. Great vid

[@virtualcomet6808]

Halo Reach's Mark V is perfect in any way or form.

[@aidan3917]

reach security is my favorite helmet of all time, I was so sure he would like it

[@Windjammer19]

In H3 and 5, the security helmet's visor "disconnects" from the chin, giving this "hanging" effect. Reach tries to fake that by indenting the lower portion of the visor. I think if you made that lower portion black, it would work. Pretty interesting list, although some helmets I think would be saved if you compared some of the attachments. Commando's "cap" attachment makes it go from S to SSS tier imo :P Also if you do more of these it might help to look at the helmets in game so you can compare the sides. Reach's helmets have the most consistent design language across the board. Specifically the black brims on the foreheads and the circular "ear" sections on the sides. Great video and (minor) redesigns!

[@optiTHOMAS]

Oh yeah, that little attachment makes the commando helmet even more badass! Love it!

[@gundamator4709]

Personally I agree with you about eva c, in my opinion its good on emile but i don't like it on anything else.

[@ArmouredProductions]

The Military Police Helmet is actually a Mjolnir variant of the CH252 helmet that Marines & Soldiers wear. More specifically the ECH252 which is fully enclosed and vacuum sealed the only difference is that the ones Marines & Soldiers wear have a clear visor. So altering the MP Helmet changes the entire design of the CH252 Helmets.

[@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD]

Also I assume it was top heavy to look like a marine with a helmet on. Like the bottom part is a robotic face.

[@TravellingHalo]

Theres that wonderful face! Inspirational work, my friend. The simplest solutions create the biggest impact.

[@Wernissage]

You're a wise man, dear friend

[@no1gamer720]

He really put security at the bottom lmao, probably one of the best with the 3rd attachment

[@Alphamerican]

If you're taking suggestions for videos, I've got one. With Microsoft acquiring so many companies, and owning so many IPs now, I'd love to see your take on crossover helmets. Doom Slayer's Praetor helmet, Power Armor from Fallout, Reinhardt from Overwatch (Shares Escharum's voice actor BTW), COGs from Gears of War, etc. I think it'd be an excellent challenge for you, and I think it'd yield excellent art.

[@sixbases6793]

Carter's helmet in S tier? I like it

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

The reach ODST helmet is the peak of ODST design, it’s angles and curves, the visor lines and sloughs dip in the middle with the fact it’s was angled down a slight bit so the top brim is level makes it aggressive and stylish

[@mauriciosanchezmeza5200]

I use the Hazop helmet on Reach (Glad to have it back ln infinte but it isn't worth for 20 bucks) and althought it got a C tier i reason with the changes you would do to improve it. The mouth area isn't annoying to me but its a nice detail to have it covered with the default appearance. Kind of like Commando's helmet does, only showing the real mouth with the CBRN attachment

[@tostie3110]

It does look like a sort of attachment point for the breathing apparatus

[@soyboyiii8771]

This is what I love about halo. I may not like a helmet but someone else would love said helmet. There truly is a helmet for every Spartan

[@hueandeye]

Problem.. If you look close enough at Grenadier's visor you may notice a small circle. This is just speculation on my part but that might imply some kind of integrated camera system that would likely be hidden underneath the reflective layer on later gen systems. There are some concept pieces that show Mark IV & V variants with additional trim around the visor that isn't as present on Mark V and VI. Grenadier is also confusing though, because it does not resemble any common interpretations of Mark IV, despite apparently being an up-armored variant of the family. I personally liked the extra trimming, since the visor are the eyes (identity) of the helm, and without the trim, it feels a bit too close to Mark VI. Also, a lot of people also don't seem to realize that Hazop was the skull helmet b4 Haunted. The structure of the cheekbone/upper mandible area and the hallowing/darkening of the cheeks are the most major tells. Smoothing it out too much also takes it away from it being a from previous generation (and also it's natural 'frown'). It is also one of, if not the only helmets that seems to properly fit the CBRN attachment. If you water down and simplify/smooth out everything, you start to lose the identity that things such carry.

[@zecaoalfredo4242]

I always rock the EOD/MK5/Commando on Reach, Halo 3 I usually stick to MK5 or ODST

[@jalakor]

JFO would’ve been my helmet of choice if all the attachments weren’t tiny little things on the upper “forehead” of the helmet. Instead, I rocked Operator, or more recently, GRD.

[@Commander_Raveth]

[@S.Collins]

i honestly didn't remember those little visor bits on the grenadier helmet

[@Zaffr3]

When I first played Reach I was an EOD fan all the way but over the years I always either used the MK V B or ODST. The designs til this day are simple and timeless and the attachments feel like they don't take away from either design (through I do like running the MK V B without attachments)

[@sleestack2723]

Broke my heart to see security down there, i do like your redesign for it, the base helmet isn’t my cup of tea needs the attachments to break that rounded silhouette Great vid

[@GeorgeFPS1]

Your redesigned helmets to make them look like halo infinite style is interesting most armour in halo 5 is complex with extra detail but you make it more simple and more halo look. Halo reach armour I don't think they need improving. keep up the good work.

[@molotovcocktail1858]

[@thegreatest1294]

the base AKIS helmet is kinda bad, but the CBRN variant makes it one of my favorite helmets what I like about gungnir is how mos of the helmet uses the player's secondary color (also the CBRN variant makes it look better) and yes, ODST is a flawless helmet

[@ChowderTheCat]

Personally I'd make a F tier for the Mister Chief helmet version for reasons.

[@user-fq9eb9pv4l]

And I thought I was the only one that would put EVA in S tier. My appreciation of the design really comes from the fact that its delibratly "bland" and not boring. While we can't see their faces, the Spartan's character are reflected by their helemt's design (or as i put it "semblance of facial expressions"). But the EVA is just a blank slate, there's no emotion to express, you can't possibly make anything out of this big visor as if there's noting behind them to begin with; just like an grim reaper with its face under the hood engulfed by shaodws.

[@connorb1844]

I get pretty much the opposite impression for the same reasons lol

[@HazopGaze]

RIP. My helmet ended up in... Well, y'know. To be fair though, I did redesign it myself into a custom variant that merges aspects of Mark VI Mod, Mark V, and HAZOP together into a blend that I'm really quite happy with. Although the mouth piece was kept by inspiration, as I've always seen it as a key part of what makes HAZOP what it is. There are a lot of helmets that have vents in some manner or another but only HAZOP seems as if it was designed with the CBRN attachment in mind. Also wow. Trying to get that point across required a lot of 'HAZOP' to be said.

[@inductivegrunt94]

I'm not really sure what to say about this, I pretty much agree on all of your placements for the helmets. But if I had to state my differences, I would put: Mk6 at S for obvious reasons, it's a great helmet EVA at B I never really got the whole "Fishbowl" helmet design since I first saw it in Halo 3 and I thought it was ridiculous Pilot Haunted and Emile's at B same reason as EVA I don't like the whole big visor designs or skull designs never have Military Police at B since it's the Marine helmet and I like the marines of Halo so much I rocked that helmet in the 360 reach days and until I got Mk6 on MCC But for the rest I pretty much agree, so that's pretty much it.

[@revanamell1791]

I think it would be controversial but I think Halo Armour having stat bonuses would really be interesting and add flavour. I'd do it very very subtly though. Sniper focused gear gives you a little less recoil and more zoom with the sniper. Like in the single digits of percentage. More armoured suits buy you a fraction of a second of health, same for shield focus. There's all these helmets with interesting lore and in universe functionality we never get to play with. Imagine playing a full recon suit and having enhanced situational awareness calling out enemy locations for your tankier comrades to go bulldoze.

[@rookie4582]

Wern S tiered my favorite helmet Mark V B. In my opinion is my favorite default Spartan Helmet.

[@Gatlinggunman]

The problem with the Military Police is that it's literally just a Marine helmet with a visor and mouthpiece shelled over where their faces would be. When it's on a marine you don't notice it as much because their faces make your brain predict where the rest of your head WOULD be. But when it's covered up you're brain has nothing to go off of, so it ends up looking like this lower than normal face region with no neck and a big-ass forehead. My personal favorite's always been the Operator helmet, mostly because of it always looked like the kind of helmet the brains of a spartan group would wear. A lot of emphasis on the forehead portion with the visor, while keeping the bulk to a minimum. But I do kind of see where you're coming from, the chin is a bit too distracting, it brings all the bottom lines of the helmet to a too narrow and straight portion, if it were instead replaced with a wider vented portion or flared out slightly like on the EVA it'd be a lot more pleasing.

[@VaderViktor]

I disagree on the JFO. I think the visor lines give it distinct eyes, similar to the Warmaster helmet. I think that line in the middle imitates a nose ridge, making that particular helmet feel far more human than the rest.

[@thedoodooslayer4106]
