Did you ever hear the tragedy, of Helioskrill the Legendary? He who unlocked it fought long and hard to earn that armor. Earned the right to wear. Then one day, he ran into another spartan donning the armor. When he asked what the spartan thought of all the jackal snipers, he only replied that he’d never played Halo 2 and got the armor from a pack. It’s ironic, really. He could play the trilogy on legendary, but not the lottery.

I think there should literally be WAY less armor. It drives me insane how many ugly helmets and armor there are. 95% of them, I'll look at and just think you myself "nobody is going to wear that". I understand they have to have a decent amount in order for their loot box system to work. But I honestly think people would be more willing to pay even more money for things, if they simply took the time to make armor that looks appealing. I don't want to pay money when I know, that there is a 98% chance I'm going to get something that I will literally never use. They also should add more weapon skins, but that's just a personal preference. Anyway, that's my two cents.

[@Zeta4]

JJK311Y the armor decals should be purchasable with credits not as separate armors in the loot boxes

[@JJK311Y]

Donuts4TW I agree, but the developers won't get rid of loot boxes until they're illegal. They simply make too much money off them.

[@vanders4198]

I agree. The armour designs look terrible. Reach was the pinnacle of Halo armour as it was customisable, yet gritty and functional.

[@pushingbroom]

Maybe, but when you look through what players do actually equip. It's pretty diverse. A lot of the sets are just duplicates too with slightly different markings or decals. I'm waiting for the country skins to drop so I can equip the Canadian flag. haha.

[@raulpetrascu2696]

I usually go with Venator but am i the only one who doesn't like the look of Helioskrill? Like I have it (got lucky early on) but I hate it and I also don't wear it so that I don't get mistaken for a pro.

[@antonwidera1681]

The problem is that the developers won't get any of the money of the lootbox system. And in addition the next game won't get a larger budget either. Only Microsoft profits from it...

[@souza1178]

Yup yup. I say no game should have micro transactions. Halo reach for instance didnt have any and more ppl play that than halo 4.

[@huey1910]

Yes, they should not do that, but only when they go too far like EA or orther p2w games, they should still have the micro-transaction system but make it so the players that dont have money or dont want to pay can still play the game like the people does it

[@WeggieNinja]

This is so stupid. I spent a week playing each Halo campaign on Legendary with a bunch of frustration to end up being proud being in the 0.80% of players with this armor, but now it’s pretty much worthless to wear. It was supposed to be something that you can only get if you actually work for it by playing each Halo campaign on Legendary, not a set of armor you can just easily get by spending money for it. I hate when games do this.

[@atomicthagamer4257]

Blame 343i bungie would never do this in a Halo game

[@Bioshockaholic]

They've probably gotten their fair share of blame regarding Halo 5's missteps by now (here's hoping Halo 6 will be all the better for it!) And to be fair, I hear that Bungie has had THEIR fair share of sketchy micro-transactions in their new games.

[@cardzgamez8804]

WeggieNinja it takes away from the cool aspect of the armour knowing that anyone who plays the game or buys reqs can get it, rather than playing through the campaigns on legendary, imo it looks better than the Achilles armour, I have both but helloskill is my fav armor in the game, Achilles being my second

[@stevewright8284]

[@Sanya6496]

While yes, there are similarities to Reach and 3, the player actually had to play the game and earn the credits. Also the helmets were connected to real life military ranks and gave a sense of accomplishment. In my honest opinion, I can't see how Halo 5's REQ system can be defended when you used to have to either be a dedicated player or had a lot of parties to unlock armors. Now, you can throw money into a ambling system and hope for the best. I don't get it.

Good points. But RnG is still annoying. So many armours are cool and I'd want to get them with credits, but I cant, because packs. I'd be fine with packs, but if you just make credits to buy packs cost money instead of the packs, you can let people directly buy the armours/weapon skins they want but for a higher price than packs. That way if there is really expensive armour, someone can still spend money to get it, in-game credits to get it, or just hope for it in a pack. That choice would make the microtransaction system much nicer and player friendly Imo.

In my opinion, the accomplishment to unlock (X) armor, helmet, whatever, is the best way to go. Not only does it make ppl play the game which benefits the company, but there are few things in life in general, that make people feel good more so than a sense of accomplishment. In my opinion, (and I'm a pretty deep thinker about what makes ppl do what they do and become who they become), halo REACH thought ppl to save and be conservative, halo 3, and 4 made people accept challenges to get what they desired. These games literally applied to real life. The loot boxes, etc, only promote spoildness and little work for gain. It's a negative.

[@Hamuelin]

In my ideal halo multiplayer there’d be a fair amount of armour that is locked into achievements/commendations, that would show a player is awesome at that particular style of play. You could then have a load of more generic armour that either gets unlocked loot box style or with varying credit value like Reach. Id only have one or two armour skins for each permutation, and they’d have to be very distinct. And you’d only be able to get skins for the chevo/commendation armour by doing a harder version. I.E. an armour for finishing campaign, one skin for heroic completion, and the other from the legendary completion. Or say, different stages of the commendation. I’d also like more detail back into the armour instead of just helmet, body, visor.

[@LordEmpyreal]

Fun fact, Helioskrill is not the only Spartan armor canonically based on the Elites. While it wasn't created by Sangheili, the Wetwork armor set was constructed using the Elite's combat harness. There is only one reference to this, in the in-game description of the Contoured wrists on Halo 4. Contoured wrists and legs are part of the Wetwork set despite having a different name, as in Halo 4 they shared an armor skin with the Wetwork helmet, chest, and shoulders, and in Halo 5 these wrists and legs are the ones the Wetwork body has. If you wear full Wetwork in Halo 5, or the Wetwork and Contoured pieces in Halo 4, you can pretty clearly see how the pauldrons, arms, and helmet resemble Elite amor the Bungie era games.

Same bro feels bad

[@thelvadam7884]

I feel the same way we had too deal with halo 2's legendary and all they had too do was open a box

[@jonathanpirolo3996]

JACKEL SNIPERS we can't survive the stupid bird things

[@HK47Elite]

Fyi you can turn on the scarab skull and still get the legendary achievement for h2 for anyone not wanting to get sniped for 12 hours

[@cianfagan8181]

I'm glad I was able to complete the whole mcc on legendary with a friend and even though the armor was hard to obtain but I was still glad to earn the achievement.

[@Doombringer_r]

"Jackal Snipers" needs to be a Halo inside joke.

[@me_Gustav]

I've been wearing it since day 1 of the beta I was really pissed when first saw this :((

[@BinkTheDragon]

me Gustav I’m pretty sure it wasn’t in the beta

[@me_Gustav]

Eric Hernandez it was

[@me_Gustav]

Eric Hernandez I grinded all those legendary campaigns before it came out because IGN announced the armors before the beta released

[@joshuagraham5750]

Oof

[@ArmogidaMedia]

me Gustav I know your pain. I went through all the legendary campaigns just to learn that everyone has it now.

[@LabeilleCreative]

From my memory cant you get Recon for the VIdmaster achievements in Halo 3?

[@-Anonymous-.]

Got the Legend achievement during covid/quarantine solo. So fun replaying the games.

[@liaratsoni6185]

Why not have reach's armour system where you can buy armour with credits, mixed with halo 3's achievement system (where armour could be unlocked by reaching certain levels) but also have weapon skins which can be sold or bidded on like in csgo which u can get from packs (like in Fifa) Plus the ability to buy credits. This earns 343 money and makes armour mean something. You can get different armour from other players a low level (5000 credits per armour piece (helmet, chest, right shoulder, left shoulder, knees, legs, visor colour) and upgrade that armour to be even more unique. Then once reaching a certain rank or level being rewarded certain armour set and the ability to purchase other armour sets. Sargent, lieutenant, captain, major, general all unlock like 3 armour sets for purchase each and you can choose one helmet from each of the three sets to be have as your reward for free. Earn credits through playing or buy them if u can't play for 50 hours on one game mode. Buy packs to make credits on the auction house by selling rare skins. Then have the hard achievement armour unlocked like the katana or hayabusa armour.

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

Liara T'soni Make it so that you can't buy credits, and I'll agree

[@liaratsoni6185]

But they want money. So this gives them two avenues of making money Packs for skins and visor colours and credits to buy packs with or armour from the armour or skins from the store

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

Liara T'soni Aye, no credits still. Req packs are alright but not the credits. This also goes that if they implement this sort of system where you use real money in an rng like a req pack, lower price tag for the base game too

[@RhodesianBushmaster]

Cola Botels What?! The credit system in Reach was so much better than the REQ system in 5. Couple that with special armor that you can only get through certain difficult achievements, plus bring back the REQ system exclusively for armor skins (I read one guy on here suggest making it a tertiary color pattern that you can change the color of) and weapon skins (maybe the same thing, letting you have different colored skins on your weapons). Sounds like the perfect system to me.

[@TheFallinhalo]

can we please NOT turn Halo into a screaming Autism fest? "in CSGO stream *youtuber opens a crate and is chatting. streamer: oh? i dont know why hes doing tha....... *crate lands on a knife Streamer: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD *Autistic screeching Streamer: I GOT A I GOT A KNIFE I GOT A KNIFE I GOT A KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *even more autistic Screeching Ya.....lets not turn halo into that ok?

[@Ch4pp13]

If the Helioskrill armor was made by the elites, it would only make sense to tie it in with something elite related. Maybe do actions while playing as an elite? Maybe have an easter egg or something in the campaign only accessible with certain skulls on, and leave the achievement be secret, giving no description? Would give value to the armor, as you actually had to search for the stuff or do something other than blow up prowlers.

[@CipherTheSniper]

man I was so excited when I finally got the katana and recon armor in Halo 3, just brought back those memories of getting them

[@gruntguy007]

"What if in Halo 3, they let everyone have the katana afterwards" To be fair, they did that when they introduced more achievements to the game, with that it was easy to surpass 1000G and get Katana

[@isaac14ac]

Me and my friend did the every campaign on legendary but mcc didn't even give us the achievement so we got screwed over :D

[@Jackosaurus117]

Andres I think it has to be solo

[@HeadShot-kl8us]

Andres you have to watch all the cutscenes all the way through or it doesn’t count as completing it, i learned that the hard way and re did h1 & h2. I got the achievements afterwards

[@MainGoldDragon]

screwed over ? sounds to me like you had the best time of your life

[@roydar5288]

343 should make so you earn armors but you randomly get skins for those armors in req packs

[@abrahamgarcia1754]

Genius

[@littlezambie4509]

Great idea, I also think they should keep weapon skins in the packs to.

[@roydar5288]

So you would also earn weapons for warzone to

[@PrettyDamnDandy]

The confused Spartan to make them actually pop (considering you’ll be red or blue 90% of the time and no one will be able to tell your skin) they should add accents (like halo 3) or neon esque lights to the armor (like Locke). I.E. you get a fancy armor set from beating the campaign on legendary and through the req system you can potentially get a skin that adds 3rd color accents or glowing lights to the armor. Sorta like a toned down version of armor effects for the “legendary” items and simple markings that stay the color you want them through each game type, could totally see this working.

[@ziskav]

PrettyDamnDandy Honestly That neon idea is something I would love. It kinda sucks we don’t get that on Locke’s armor in multiplayer. That’s a great idea.

[@fsmayhemmc9570]

Didn’t even know how to unlock the scout helmet but I still did

[@benl4565]

It’s funny because I didn’t even realize you get that armor from having that achievement. I thought I got it from a REQ pack but shit it feels good to be part of the 0.81%

[@DoggedlyHandsome]

You forgot the Nightfall armor that you unlock for watching the entire Halo nightfall series’s. Although that might be a bit of a stretch

[@RhodesianBushmaster]

The Ice Princess Hey, I liked Nightfall.

[@lasthersir546]

Doggedly handsome you can also skip all the way to the end of each episode

[@KhoraPrimeMain734]

Well have you heard the tragedy of helioscrill, but first have you heard of audible...... lol

[@tr011facez3]

Of course I remember the used car salesman achievement. I spent forever as a kid trying to get it lol.

[@matthewleto1180]

Now that MCC season 7 is out and we have a human designed elite armor set, I would like to see another iteration of that idea, but with a more pragmatic design.

[@erols8083]

[@evildeadslayer3059]

No Chromie Homie can you still get the Timmy Helmet or was that only for a limited time?

WARTECH Spartan you can still get it today.

[@evildeadslayer3059]

[@byecai]

WARTECH Spartan No problem. Wanna play h5 some time?

[@evildeadslayer3059]

Cai sure my gt Is TRIP TX I mostly play btb and WarZone these days

[@roadrunnerproductions7941]

No way!!! I just fricken passed Halo 2 on legendary to get this. I was on the road to getting it, but now there's no value to it. Damnit 343!

[@spike-the-red-king]

Holy Crap, I knew the achievement to unlock the scout helmet in halo 3. I remembered getting a achievement then randomly finding scout armor in my list of unlocked armor. After all these years and i suddenly remember the used car salesman achievement out of no where. what a strange achievement indeed.

[@gabrielerando7795]

For the scout helmet you needed to shoot a banshee from the campaign with a laser spartan I swear to my hayabusa armor i didnt look

[@st.paddymad7085]

MCC Legendary for Helioskrill, only to have it as cheap duplicate skins within req packs. Nothing's sacred anymore.

[@drink_your_tapwater]

[@liamliae4254]

[@xAsh96x]

You get the Scout helmet for shooting down a banshee with a Spartan laser I believe

[@mr.anonymous7973]

Y'know I know you can get this in req packs now, still gonna try to get it via the legend achievement tho

[@drleo]

As one of the 0.80% who got Helioskrill through the Legend achievement, and an Elite player since Halo 2, I can't say I'm all that bothered by this. In fact, as someone who has always played as an Elite (when it's been an option), finding out Helioskrill existed in Halo 5 and this achievement is how it was unlocked is what motivated me to finally finish the Legendary campaigns in the MCC. (I like to call it Legendary++, in fact, given how you also have to deal with the MCC's bugs and glitches on top of the difficulty of the campaign itself.) When I found out the base Helioskrill set was available through gold packs, I was a little disappointed, but shrugged it off. Sure, I'd have preferred it not have become available but in my experience it's still very uncommon to see someone in both base Helioskrill armor and helmet in the field. I see more Achilles than I do Helioskrill. But more importantly, I have the achievement and those who got it through REQ packs don't, and I know this, and I can't say I care all that much about whether or not random players I come across know I did it. Its value to me doesn't depend on that. I still did the achievement and I won't ever take the armor set off. Thanks for the video!

[@sunp94]

Never will beat the feeling of seeing the flame recon helmet in halo 3 for the first time

[@jabaier2]

Are you sure about the Katana unlock requirements in Halo 3? I had it, but I unlocked it at 1060G (which is where my total still sits 8 years later). I remember at the time, there seemed to be a lot of disagreement over how it was unlocked (This could have just been a perceived thing. I was only just learning the wonders of KZbin). I mostly remember hearing that it would be unlocked after reaching various amounts of gamerscore between like 750G and 1250G. I also remember that after I got it, it would disappear sometimes and I would have to restart the game for it to show up again. Maybe I got it through a glitch or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Edit: Did some "research" (AKA google) and it looks like the requirements are still debated, but no one said you needed all of the achievements. From what I saw: It could be earned by getting 1000G and then it couldn't. Instead, you now needed 49 of 79 achievements. But if you got the Mythic map pack, you could sometimes get it without either of those requirements. Whenever you did manage to unlock it, it would appear and disappear randomly sometimes until you managed to get 1750G. You also might (maybe) need to find all of the skulls in campaign, or maybe just the 13 gold skulls. The only one of these requirements I didn't fulfill was 49 achievements. I only have 36.

[@souza1178]

Ok so let me explain. The requirement at first was to get all original 49 achievements which amounted to 1000 gamerscore. However with the addition of more DLC and achievements it was revealed that the only requirement was to unlock a combined gamerscore of 1000. For example you have 36 achievements for over 1000 gamerscore which unlocks the Katana. If you would have had less than 1000 then the Katana would still be locked. So Halo 3 at launch required all achievements unlocked (1000 gamerscore) but with new DLC achievements all you had to do was unlock 1000 gamerscore across the whole game, original/dlc achievements combined.

[@bubsterr741]

And it was hyabusa that you needed all skills for

[@purplekush5640]

Complete legendary, and get all skulls while you play it

[@Shinji5146]

I love it when there is something hard to get a 343 like to make everything easy to get

[@xiruxydosee1797]

Masked 343 is a Colouss failure!

[@RhodesianBushmaster]

Xiru Xydosee a "Colouss" failure? They're still working things out, finding out what works and what doesn't. Halo 4 had a decent story, but a horrible multiplayer and forge. Halo 5 had a horrible story, but a decent multiplayer and an excellent forge. I'm hopeful in Halo 6 they'll combine the successes of the two to make a game worthy of the title 'Halo'.

[@bl.4675]

If you grab the rocket and shoot the two prowlers at the beginning of the mission cartographer,you get the armor.
