Halo Infinite leaked helmet customization

Some of things don't feel very Halo-y with the art direction established as a return to form for Infinite, like these very post-apocalyptic looking helmets. But I kinda like them regardless?
Smooth brain take here.

of course it's not their fault. my criticism was aimed at their leadership and product decisions, not the people doing the actual work on the helmets.
Things like the customization vanity options that will go into the battle passes are what pay the developers over the 3-5+ year development of these live service type games. These are completely separate development teams from the people working on getting the campaign out the door.
We have literally never had an open world Halo game with campaign co-op but it's safe to say no decision regarding the art team working on customization options has impacted co op in the campaign.
That gray part is probably an attachment but yeah the attachment sucks.Everyone upset about the snowman, but this is easily the worst helmet:
Yep that's right! Definitely, I'm almost confident they'll include the Mark IV!
I'm generally in favor of the customization system. I feel like I'm in the minority when I say this, but I feel like previous iterations made the customizations easy to gloss over.
I'm not a huge fan of the silly stuff like Snowman-helm, but I would survive if it was just available to wear for a limited time.
what I would like to see is custom kill animations. No not assassinations, but things like "grunt birthday party" if you get a headshot kill. I could live with an enemy turning into a snowman if I get a perfect kill or something. I think that would be better than having snowmen helmets because the animation would only have to render for the player who got the kill.

Wanting a game to look aesthetically pleasing is not an unreasonable ask. Most games are already judged based on how cohesive the art style is. I understand the appeal of silly cosmetics, but I also find them to be incredibly obnoxious after a certain point.Some people in this thread:
It's frustrating how this is an expected thing in all MP games these days.
A few of them are definitely something where they just don't seem to fit the art style, but in a different way to how Halo 4 / 5s stuff didn't fit. They still look great and I very much like them, but if I had to guess what this was from:
Found Jun's account. ;)
Halo would have been one of my last guesses. Both the colour and the style of it seem quite out of place, it comes across as more of a Dieselpunk style sci-fi or like it would fit in with something like Wolfenstein far more than Halo.
.
I hope the customization in this doesn't go the way of tf2, where the aesthetic of the game was totally ruined by new cosmetics that totally break the art style and theme. I really don't want that snowman helmet to be a full time thing
I didn't play much of 4 or 5, but I liked the customization in Reach quite a bit. hopefully it's more along those lines

Some of these are cool, but I hope the notably weird stuff like the snowman one is just for a short seasonal side mode and not something you normally actually equip. Being able to turn off the goofier options is a band aid that can only be so effective.
I hope we get some IP crossovers in Infinite's customization.
I would love an N7 Breather helmet to go along with that armor coat that looks like it has the N7 stripe
Or Doom. Or Samus from Metroid.
Fortnite couldn't even get Samus during the Bounty Hunter event, not a chance, lmao.
People should realize that you can't put any helmet on any armor anymore. The customization is split in "Armor cores". So the classic Reach armors can only be put on the classic looking armor core. The samurai style armor is confirmed to be another core we get for free at launch. From the picture I would guess the steampunk looking stuff will be another armor core. If you want to mix these armors, you just can't.
While I really like a lot of these leaked helmets, it's absolutely frustrating why 343i decided to restrict them so much. Want some nice steampunk style shoulders, samurai legs and classic Halo helmet? Nope, not possible.

A lot of the Halo threads recently have been highly leaning on the negative side and I am kind of tired of it. People gripe over things that literally barely effect them.Some people in this thread:
Anyways I like most of the designs and I hope the design team go as creative as they want.
That's the derp helmet.Everyone upset about the snowman, but this is easily the worst helmet:
I guess ya'll thought that Hayabusa (which is beautiful btw), fit in with perfectly Halo's aesthetic. Goofy stuff like this isn't too new to the franchise.
A bunch of these look great. A few of them look very dumb.
I'll stick with the ones that look great and dunk on the folks who choose the ones that look dumb. It's a non-issue.

Please let me turn off these goofy designs and only see spartan armor in game! This has me seriously worried. Probably won't even look like Halo after a year.
These are heads and shoulders above 4 and 5. Hell these are better than Bungie era permutations too
We might just get this:
Hoping for as much dumb shit to get in for those True Gamer™ tears 😭
people need to get with the times and learn to love these cosmetics

Not a fan of wacky helmets like the snowman one, just feels jarring compared to the rest. Feel like it could work if they made it an actual snowman helmet though.
This was inevitable with F2P and free map models. I just hope we can turn certain things off. Halo Reach has the super annoying "Pinata" death explosion and it really, really sucks because it was so common.
I'm expecting helmets, death effects, intro/outro poses, etc. They will go all in.

Ahh yes because the 3D modelers and texture artists are clearly to blame for the Campaign team not being able to figure out a good way to do the open world co op campaign.
And even if you want to shift blame to management, you want them to tell the 3D modelers and texture artists stop what you are doing and help the scripting/programming team with the co op campaign?
I dont understand what this post is trying to prove?
Artists keep getting the short straw.

Truth. This isn't what you want.
They should make this one of the helmets; cartoony look and all.. just an exact replica.Some people in this thread:
Not a big fan of the goofy cosmetic trend every shooter follows now, but at least these ones are clearly readable and not cluttered like 4 and 5. Makes me worried that every Spartan is going to be animated neon-pink with constant armor effects by the time the game is a few months old, like how Modern Warfare now is a mess of Billys from Saw running around with anime assault rifles.
The simple existence of Hayabusa means you are wrong:
You are not wrong tho.
Most helmets were trash.
You say that as if outside of ODST(and its variants) and like the Mark xxx.
Halo ever had actually good Helmets
343 atleast had a number you could choose from that were decent.
Even reach had a limited number of good helmets:
Halo 3
LMAO at some of the people actively worried about these
Loving that they're opening up the customization more. People love their cosmetics and these look to give a lot of cool, new options
