Redesigning FIRETEAM OSIRIS | How Osiris' helmets might look in Halo Infinite

@@Wernissage Congrats on your 1-year of awesomeness. Will hopefully stick with you for years, if not +decade to come. 🥰🙏 Huge fan of your content, but been too busy to comment frequently on them, sorry. 😅 You made Tanaka's Helmet one that I would proudly work to earn and wear for Halo Multiplayer! 🤩 Very good choice on the black-forehead, with a wider-visor. Very nice subtle-yet-effective changes, good sir, lol. Buck in Halo 5 didn't feel or sound like 'Buck' for me - _more _*_War-Torn_*_ than I _*_had hoped,_* and not balanced with his dry 'done-with-this-sh;+' attitude. I expected him to be the heart of *FrTm-Osiris,* and to be more vocal and proactive with his thoughts that might give the group some flare in both conflict AND trust/respect. 🤷‍♂️ Still like to see him and co. back in action on Chief's side from now, on. 🤞🙂 Beautiful, Vibrant, and intimidating, like the prime raptor-birds of this era. 😃 H: 5-Vale's armour felt like a stand-out for me, next to Locke's. Too bad her personality and background was not well invested enough for me to be... ... ...well... invested, lol. 😅 Aside from the vents on the side being too big and _some removed details that, to me, made his H: 5's helmet _*_resemble an angry Elite,_* you did not disappoint with Locke, at all. 😎 lol _Somehow, though?!_ Your Gen. 3 Infinite-Tanaka redesign has become my favorite!

That's one of my biggest criticisms of H5. All new characters of Osiris have development and personality from books, comics, vids, and other media the problem as with most games and movies now is "telling and not showing" type of writing. Tanaka for example survived a Covenant glassing of her homeworld, trained with Insurrectionists, served the UNSC and saved stranded colonists, served on Requeim with Fireteam Domino, was apart of ONI's ridiculously planned operation to take the Absolute Record, and then joined Osiris....and we get no mention of any of that in game. She's an expert in all human, covenant, and forerunner tech....and we still don't see it in game. It just blew my mind how we gave ample development time to characters but when we get to play as them we get nothin, barely in dialogue and character banter at that.

The fact that both teams had 2 women on them as well kind of gave me that assumption. I work in the industry myself and it is a very prevailing theme...pandering...

@Colors x Shapes…take a chill pill, someone else’s opinion shouldn’t offend you. And it’s not that serious anyways, just something I wouldn’t be surprised about. From a realistic standpoint if you wanted to go that route, having 2 women and 2 men on a squad of 4 isn’t exactly ideal from a militaristic standpoint…I think reach did it better with Kat.

[@TBoneHEMA]

@@ssjay5870 I don't insult the design because it's not the same. I insult the design because I think it looks terrible. It's called feedback, and it's crucial to game development. Everyone knows it's "just a game". That's so far removed from the issue. Changing visuals is something that happened from Halo CE all the way to Halo Reach with no issues. You know why? Because they stuck to an established design philosophy. One that wasn't boring and was beloved by people who played it. Imagine a new star wars movie comes out, and suddenly all the lightsabers are katanas and the stormtroopers wore pointy hats and Darth Vader didn't wear a helmet. That would be fine with you because we should "let the devs have fun" right? Not only that, but they come out and say "that's how it always was." that's the equivalent, to a T, for what 343i did to Halo design. It's called consistency, and it's vital to the development of any IP. I don't think you know much about this. I'm all about creative liberty, but if you establish creative boundaries in the first 5 games in a series, those boundaries NEED to be respected.

[@midgetman4206]

To have more of an insight to what you mean, could you give an example that would make it differentiate from the "classic" look? I do like simplicity, not because I used to play during "the days" since I never did, so I don't have that bias. But I can agree that while I do like the 4 and 5 armors, they can be a bit loud in some places. It's the same reason why halo CEA and 4-5 looks wrong, there are to many things to look at, most of which look unnecessary. like the random hydraulic cylinders in the The Piller of Autumn, and the jagged lines thrown about in the forerunner structures. When I see something, I ask my self "what is its purpose and why is there?" and those things don't make any sense, and so, look gimmicky. The same goes for the armors, it makes it look like they have insect mandibles, why are the things that look sensitive exposed? A plate would solve that. I view things realistically, and people try to be cost efficient so why try to make things complex and hard to manufacture? Streamlined and simplified look realistic to me. The same goes for forerunner design, they were in war, why would they not try to make what they make time and cost efficient?

[@bionic-tale4313]

These are always phenomenal dude, every time you talk about the in game design for something I start to wonder how it could really change and improve and every time you just make me smile with your artwork. One thing I think could look cool on Vale's helmet is adding 2 stripes down the forehead of the helmet and getting rid of the swords symbol to help add a little more cover on such a big open area, it would also fit the character because she is naturally faster than the others for some reason, and the helmet also gives me heavy pilot vibes.

Amazing video, I’ve always felt Halo 4/5’s designs are overall busier than they should be for Halo. Here are my thoughts: Vale’s redesign is masterful and my favorite of the 4. Tanaka’s and Buck’s are both great and suit Halo’s true aesthetic very well. You did a great job with not distorting too much of Buck’s since ODST armor is pretty solid regardless. I find Locke’s visor and above to be good changes, but I find the mouth piece and cheek plates looking awkward after the protruding ear vents. His redesign isn’t bad, maybe an adjustment of the ear vents size would help. Overall a great video and it makes me look forward to their redesigns for when they eventually appear in Halo Infinite. (Perhaps in far-future content).

[@deanmurrell5386]

The black area you gave Tanaka's helmet almost makes it look like an alien-ish skull with a red glare. Really neat, and really well redeaigned overall. Fantastic work:)

[@TheLegoJungle]

I’m weirdly fond of Vale’s original helm. Looks insectoid, reminds me of a bee or something.

[@gregbagel791]

makes me think of something metriodish, I really liked it as well, but it just feels too out of place in a halo game. In almost any other Sci-fi setting I would absolutely love it (especially like a dark samus take)

[@notstupidbutthatsalie601]

Reminds me of the Halo 5 Elite zealot helmet

[@zatoby6705]

Someone needs to hire you. I love the redesigns. The simplification of the details makes the armor look far more robust and makes the helmets look like they can actually function as practical protection instead of just looking cool.

[@Wernissage]

Thank you!

[@nicholasshealy9040]

You never disappoint buddy, Vale’s helmet is definitely my favorite. But please for the love of God, redesign the Covenant weapons already.

Which one is YOUR favorite?🔥

[@wiktorwojciechowski8889]

ODST all the way!

[@nobudarsai9675]

Definitely Locke's, and then Vale's! If you have the time I would definitely like to see a redesign of Kelly and Fred's helmets Linda's was my favorite. Also no apology dude you have a life outside of youtube, and any real fan will understand that and will be patient I came to your channel late but I have not been disappointed by any of your vids since. But I will wait patiently in the corner for your Covenant weapon redesign and combining video, I'd be interested to see if you'd redesign the Beam Rifle or combine H2 and H4 variants. Keep up the great work!

[@bernardcornellisvanmeijere4375]

All of them where great, though if I had to choose I'd go for Buck's new helmet.

[@foxtonnes864]

I would have to say that the best redesign is Buck, followed closely by Locke. The boxy cheeks look much better and turn a decent helmet into an outstanding one. And the overhauled Hunter helmet is great. The sharper/simpler mouthpiece makes it much more aggressive, befitting its use by Locke and creating a nice contrast against Chief’s more tanky appearance.

[@edu_made_a_mistake6657]

It's only appropriate to play the ODST jazz during Buck's section

[@young8584]

This video actually made me sad because I know they will never make the copperhead vales helmet as good as he did

[@Lagatortooth]

All these designs were awwwsome you actually gave the character some fucking waist armor and toned back the details but kept the designs pure I liked the detail of how you gave Buck the Infinite Assualt Rifle

[@sharoncunningham2783]

All he needs is the horns and two eyes instead of a visor and you get a pretty good prime.

[@wet_weather_imp]

What’s amazing about these redesigns is that although they are much more simplistic and ‘Halofied,’ they are still instantly recognisable and identifiable as that helmet and thus character

[@SwanieGaming]

Me redesigning Buck for Halo Infinite. "Just a taller version of Buck from ODST"

[@lllXanderlll]

Man that Vale redesign absolutely blew me away. That was beautiful

[@MakutaOfficial]

I liked your Locke redesign more than the H5 look, but I also still feel like he doesn't look like a spartan.. Something about the mouth piece looking like Optimus Prime and the head piece being too round, I dunno. Still better than what 343 did, but doesn't feel like a spartan helmet. If anything, Bungie's Mark VB looks more like a helmet for Locke, as Noble-6 was Oni's "Grim Reaper".

[@SrMaximus]

Holy god, those redisigns looked so awesome and well done, I really love it! The Vale's one is just perfect, definitely you should redisign more helmets from Halo 4 and 5, like the CIO, Warrior, Operator, Helioskrill, Recruit and much more! Also, what would you do if 343i calls you to get those designs to Infinite? Seriously, excellent job!

[@nightblockprimecraft9284]

A marines redesign would be cool

You knocked it out of the park with these. Tanaka and Vale's helmets in particular look fantastic, and like designs I'd enjoy actually using. Can't wait to see the Blue Team redesign!

To me, Tanaka, vale and buck redesign look great but Locke looks better and worse to me

[@warbilby]

the mouth texture looks flat and like something is missing right?

[@bestbrainbigman]

I feel like he should’ve kept that protruding cheek design that Locke initially had. It meshed well with his thinner visor and gave his helmet a more menacing appearance. Not to say that his redesign is bad. I just simply have a different opinion.

[@midnightstarfall8166]

@@bestbrainbigman Mm yeah, like, the Tanaka and Vale redesigns worked pretty well (Though with Vale being fairly flexible throughout the campaign the blockiness kind of...takes that away a bit?) and you literally can't go wrong with the ODST helmet... I feel like the Locke redesign missed the mark a bit with the intention of the design, like, he's an ONI agent, they're generally supposed to have some sort of edge or menace to them and the redesign kind of...made it look too friendly? Like I wouldn't say it's bad because yes it's in keeping with Infinite's design language, but it loses a lot of it's personality. The flat mouthpiece does not help with this as it makes it look like something is supposed to be there but isn't.

[@Captianmex1C0]

Recently I've been getting into How cars are designed and Using the same logic that Applies to a hyper car, Locked redesign in general Just doesn't fit together, The mouth guard should've been Rounded or More Hexagonal. The County triangle just doesn't match well with the rounded Head

[@midnightstarfall8166]

@@Captianmex1C0 I agree it's just...like it feels a little sad because I've been noticing a downwards trend with these redesigns in general recently. With each video degrading into "Blocks are good and simple is good so it's the only way" when that isn't like...*always* the case. Certainly I can see the argument for Halo 4 and 5 armours and weapons being simplified but these videos have been simplifying them into the generic.

With this much talent in redesigning the helmet design, I'm surprised you didn't get hired by 343 Inc. They could really use your talents to port your redesigned helmets for Halo Infinite.

Your redesigns are awesome and all that I can say is these redesigns would make Halo 5 more interesting in terms of characters. I respect your work.

[@cz.gazz.]

Now that we have Halo: Infinite to compare it to, it's baffling in hindsight how poor Halo 5 looks. It was almost arrogant how little the look and feel of that game represented legacy Halo.

[@ohlookitsbryan]

Arrogant really is a good way to put it. They really didn’t give a shit about what made halo look like halo.

[@stormichow5325]

@@ohlookitsbryan I think that's a poor way to view it. To me, it seems that they put _too_ much effort in attempting to make the armor cool and flashy, and unintentionally stripped away what made the armor so likeable in the first place.

[@obiitom]

@@ohlookitsbryan i don't think it was arrogance, they wanted to "improve" upon the look of Halo to make it better with the more detailed engines, just as the ID devs changed/improved the look of the Doom games for example. Unfortunately since the original Halo didn't come out in 1993 the redesigns were too recent since CE and 2 had already been "remastered" and saw a "redesign" fairly recently (2011 and 2014), the changes were too much, they went too far.

[@Dricon1997]

The styles you made were really refreshing and definitely fulfilled the idea of something simple and calming for the eyes. My favourite among these helmets is the helmet of Vale. It went from an interesting helmet with too many unnecessary details, down to something simple, bulky and easy to look at. The top half filled the empty space it had, which was a nice touch. I’d love to see more styles! Great job!

[@nightblockprimecraft9284]

I’d like to see a covenant vehicles redesign. I think in 5 the smooth look of the phantom was really cool. However the wraith is way too orange. I’d like to see one design of the wraith for the swords and one for the storm covenant to show their differences in culture.

Personally, I always thought that the original designs were very blurry in the sense that they weren't immediately recognizable. This is something you've improved upon in your redesigns as each one is much more defined and identifiable. I cannot wait to see what you do next, keep up the incredible work!

Bucks redesign is magnificent. The angular headphone type pieces are perfect.

The ODST soundtrack for Buck's helmet was a nice touch. Man, I keep forgetting just how _recognisable_ that rain storm sound is. If it's in a HALO vid, and you hear the rain, you know _exactly_ what song it is and what it's about.
