By YourExWife Go To PostHayabusa wasn't ugly perse, but I stopped using it in MP once I realized it made your spartan easier to shoot.*cough, flaming head.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostDefinitely multiplayer. I've been waiting for that Gears fix for quite some time.
Hey remember a few weeks back when I talked you about that thing. It's happening again. ;)
By YourExWife Go To PostIIRC, you can shoot the sword on the back, which makes you hit-able at certain angles you wouldn't otherwise be. Also, it can give away your position certain times where you normally would be hidden. I remember testing this out in customs with friends like 8 years ago, but if that got changed or we were mistaken, then woops. Still, makes you crazy easy to spot, just like the flaming head stuff or the lightning storms and shit.
It does this to help alert opponents by informing them (intimidating) that they're messing with the wrong spartan.

You won't be seeing MC's face in Halo 5. I'm very pleased, and this better not be a trick.
If they ever decide to kill John off it would be the perfect time to reveal his face. The impact is worth it but also looking at future games/developments they wouldn't have that put yourself as the hero conundrum. That said I don't see him getting the axe in H5.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostYou won't be seeing MC's face in Halo 5. I'm very pleased, and this better not be a trick.Honestly, I wish they would just show it. It's not like we don't know what it looks like, we've seen in multiple times before (though only once during adulthood). It would go a long way in making John seem like the actual character that he is in the books, and that 343i is trying to show in the games. Not showing it for all this time just seems needlessly awkward, especially because we'll most likely be seeing the face of the rest of Blue Team in this game given that they already have the models finished.
Oh well, maybe in Halo 6.
Yeah, after how much they've shown his face in other media, and all the teases in the games, they may as well just rip the bandage off. Especially since, and this is just my observation/opinion, video games seem to be more character driven and less about the player inhabiting the character (save for open world and custom characters of course).

I liked the glimpse we got in Halo 4 via the legendary ending. That's enough for me for now.

I don't see it either. He's got one or two more games, at the very least. And I agree, his death, or his final arc/conclusion would be the best time to reveal his face in full.
“I actually don’t even know if I can talk about that… He doesn’t take his helmet off.”
Interesting reply from Longo, though. Very interesting.

Why would they ever kill him? Like would it make sense? I don't really mind playing as someone else but Chief is where its at.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostWhy would they ever kill him? Like would it make sense? I don't really mind playing as someone else but Chief is where its at.
He may not ever die, or at least, we'll never see him die. There's a lot of ways that a character can achieve their conclusion without death. Given how character-driven halo has become, and the significance that 343 devs have put on MC's journey, it would imply that he's moving towards a conclusion. When that conclusion will be, is entirely up to them, but I don't see them dragging his saga out for another 7 games. Again, they don't necessarily have to kill him off. He may find other means of resolution and conclusion. He may even eventually fade to the absolute definition of legendary, in that he'll still be alive, but whereabouts unknown to everyone.
Who knows. Maybe they will have him star in every game haha. I'm just speculating.
This guy
By Ozzy Onya A2Z Go To PostMaybe Locke takes his helmet off, I'm onto you Longo! :)
Hahaha
Like I said in the GAF thread, I would be genuinely disappointed if they ever reveal the Chief's full face.
The image of the Chief is a stoic badass in green armour, not some old wrinkly dude. Revealing his face would just ruin the character for me.

Well he is an old wrinkly dude under that green armor, whether we see it or not. The image doesn't really change for me.
I kinda hope Chief has a really goofy ridiculous face under his helmet this whole time, and that's the lore explanation for why he keeps his helmet on.

By Captain Friendo Go To PostYeah that's the last I remember, too.Actually no, he popped in just before Gamescom to temper some expectations.
Edit: haha, autocorrect screwed my other post up a tiny bit. I think I'll leave it.
Edit 2: also I think he said something about his flight to rtx being cancelled as well. So he is still popping in here on occasion.
Whatever happened to that guy SolVanderlyn or something. I remember he was the WORST when it came to any Halo news.
By derpface123 Go To PostCan I get a link to where he rips into Rag's post? That sounds delicious.Type "Stinkles" in the search bar on the left.

It's still super weird to me that you can't just click on a user and scroll through their posts. Imagine if I could just find Stinkles, click on his username, and be taken to a list of all the posts he has made. That would be so convenient.

By Lord of Admirals Go To PostNew Canon Fodder. I was featured in it as well.
Saw this bit of text in Ntho's page:
Although N’tho ‘Sraom’s romanticized nationalism is emblematic of all Sangheili, he has developed a healthy respect for humanity - not necessarily for their physical abilities or martial prowess, but for their audacity and resolve, traits that true warriors understand are just as crucial to turning the tide of battle.
These philosophies served him well when, at the behest of the Arbiter, N’tho led a hybrid team of humans and Sangheili back to Installation 00 in 2555 to once more quell the threat of the Halo Array.
I thought it was a nice touch, considering the former anecdote dates all the way back to his Bungie.net description.
Hayabusa looks out of place in Halo. It's not ugly but its out of placeness and the fact that more than half of Halo 3 MCC players use it have made me sick of seeing it. It's almost like a "rookie alert" if you see someone with that 117 tag and Hayabusa. They probably only ever visited the armor tab once, saw Hayabusa, went "OOH THAT ONE" and never went back.
...no offense.

WAHRER CAMEO ON WAYPOINT HYPE
I'm not sure how I'd go about verifying via edit history, but I added a tidbit in Trivia about Usze's armor being claret-colored on Halopedia a few years ago:
The trivia thing's been edited / modified for sentence structure a little bit since my original edit, but you have me to thank for 'Taham being claret in-canon, shitlords. Don't say I've never done anything for you.
Following the Human-Covenant War, Usze was assigned as a liaison to the UNSC, though he found his attention increasingly diverted to the dealings of his families' keep and the legacy of his biological father, the legendary swordfighter Toha 'Sumai. Typically clad in a custom Assault combat harness in a distinctive claret color, he faces his enemies with a tempered zeal that is unusual for so young a warrior.
I'm not sure how I'd go about verifying via edit history, but I added a tidbit in Trivia about Usze's armor being claret-colored on Halopedia a few years ago:
Claret, the color of Usze's armor, is not available to players. The color looks remarkably similar to that of the paint scheme on a Spectre. He is also the only known Sangheili to have claret colored armour.

In regards to armor I really dig huge shoulder pads/cauldrons so I always look like a big guy
I love the simplicity of the ODST helm design and Reach had some AMAZING helmets. Air Assault, Scout, EVA looked the best there, etc.

I never liked Operator. I felt like it made my head too small, and the armor trim around the visor just looks flimsy. Reach Operator looks like a wimpy engineer guy who would die first in a firefight.
I don't like Halo 4 Operator either but for entirely different reasons. Hopefully Halo 5 has some legitimately good helmets/armor sets that stand out. I don't want to be wearing Mark VI for my entire time during Halo 5, I'd like some variety. We already know from a Canon Fodder post that Security armor is returning for Halo 5, so I'm interested to see how they interpreted that design. Hopefully with a big protruding visor like the awesomeness that is Halo 3 Security:

Yeah I played Halo 4 today and all of the armor just looks so weird. Any designs they "brought back" from preview games just look... wrong. H5 is much improved in that sense.
