In canon I always loved the Idea of a Spartan being assigned to an ODST Team as a specialist or team leader. Like if Buck was given command of ODSTs again after being made a 4.
Idk if that ever happened
It's the closest we got to a helmet for a character that's a regular marine or soldier, which is a nice contrast to the cyborg supersoldier characters we usually see in multiplayer.
Dude reach Security is super slept on! And CQB is top tier in my opinion for one of the best helmets in the franchise. Wish they brought back Rogue in Reach or Infinite, the one from H5 was hideous
Not actually really played halo since Reach and couldn’t remember what helmet I mained. Got such a big nostalgia dump when I saw the JFO. Yeah that’s the one.

Once I sort out my 3d printer this summer, that's one of the first things on the list. Foam on the inside for fitting, and an amber pinlock (motorbike helmet inner visor layer) as a visor.
No attachments on it either since it's attached to the base Stormfall helmet which nobody asked for/uses. Plus the visor colour doesn't make a difference to the camera lens. Sloppy work from 343.
Copy pasting my recent comment from elsewhere, about the unreleased Reach helmets:
They're probably trying to figure out what to do. They weren't in the leaked upcoming store bundles, as 343 apparently intends to stop selling old armor. But things this sought after can't be given out during limited time events; imagine the backlash. So my guess is either a rework to the S1BP (given how it didn't give credits, I think it'd be fair to retroactively give hidden armors to bring it on par with S2), or they are withholding them for another BP (probably after cross core, so the S1BP isn't required)
I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. I think they’re saying they could be available if you levelled up season 1’s BP as the season 1 BP doesn’t have as many armour unlocks as season 2. If this were the case they’d be available retroactively.
> imagine the backlash. So my guess is either a rework to the S1BP (given how it didn't give credits, I think it'd be fair
There just gonna be in an event or Season 3, there definitely won't be a rework of S1
I honestly never got the appeal for the pilot helmet. I remember seeing many high ranked players use it but I preferred eva for the full helmet visor look
For me, its between Military Police, Operator, and ODST. I really liked making my guy look like either a normal marine or an ODST because of how much respect I have for them putting up a good fight against the Covenant. Operator just looks dope.
Recon, especially with that attachment in the picture. After that, Scout, Commando, and Mk. V.
Honestly though, the hard question is picking which one is the worst, because all the Reach helments look really cool.
They honestly all look really good, none of them are bad imo. My favorite Reach original helmet is probably Commando or JFO, my favorite preexisting helmet in the Reach style would be EOD or Scout which imo greatly improved their Halo 3 counterparts
Recon with both attachments and eod. Kept switching back and forth between the two.
Eod with as much bulky shit i could put on and recon looking more lightweight/mobile
Recon was great in 3 before it got played out in Reach. I just ended liking EOD.
Reach had the best rod hands down
Reach does have a nice rod. I’ve seen it. It’s huge.
Nice.
Operator, Pilot, CQC are my top 3
Shiiiiit... Me too!
The fact that operator isn’t in infinite is a crime. It’s probably my favorite halo helmet.’
ODST, always use that helmet when I can
Feet first into hell o7
In canon I always loved the Idea of a Spartan being assigned to an ODST Team as a specialist or team leader. Like if Buck was given command of ODSTs again after being made a 4. Idk if that ever happened
Honestly same i love the odst helmet
Same
Military police (343, if you can give it to marines in campaign stop trolling me and hand it over already)
Military Police was also a frequent choice of mine, dunno why, just loved it for no particular reason haha
Same. It's ugly in a beautiful way
It's the closest we got to a helmet for a character that's a regular marine or soldier, which is a nice contrast to the cyborg supersoldier characters we usually see in multiplayer.
Mk V
Wher Mk V in Infinite. I need it
You need to have played through Tactical Ops in Season 1 - one of the unlocks is Mark V for the Mark 7 core + a unique helmet attachment
Already have that one. Need the one for the Reach core
oh Well, cross-core eventually so
It’s in the files already and the zeta mk V is a different helmet
Funny enough it was in the multiplayer trailer but it still isn’t available in-game.
The Mk V is still the best helmet and I will die on this hill
I will die with you brother
1. Operator 2. Recon 3. Scout 4. Mjolnir MK. V 5. EOD
2.5. Gungnir
EOD
EOD GANG RISE UP
I love being less likely to be decapitated.
E to the O to the mothafuckin' D.
Always gave me stormtrooper vibes. Take my updoot!!
Yesss
Hell yeah
EOD squad
Security and CQB. Security has always been my favorite in every game, but I used CQB while trying to unlock security and it really grew on me.
Dude reach Security is super slept on! And CQB is top tier in my opinion for one of the best helmets in the franchise. Wish they brought back Rogue in Reach or Infinite, the one from H5 was hideous
Wym? Everyone and their mom who hit brigadier general always had security or gugnir equipped
Why is Security not in this image? Thought I was losing my mind for a second
Operator Gang
Operator was one of my most used helmet out of everything when Reach came out. Not only was it cheap, it also had the “best attachments” imo.
Gang gang
Operator gang
i agree
Operator
Yea I was an operator guy too. The best design
Gang gang
The best helmet in the history of halo.
Agree, but general and ultra camed close
This makes me happy
*Not so patiently awaits it being added to Infinite*
Commando, EVA (c), pilot, MK.V, odst, and recon. Those are my favorites
Commando
JFO. Getting real tired of waiting for it to be released in infinite
You and me both
I have a homemade JFO helmet in my office that sits behind me in every work zoom call that I'm on. I need it in game.
Not actually really played halo since Reach and couldn’t remember what helmet I mained. Got such a big nostalgia dump when I saw the JFO. Yeah that’s the one.
finally a JFO comment, i love that helmet
Hazop 100%
I've always liked the Air Assault. I still use it in Infinite, too!
Air Assault Gang!
Sir Assault is one of my favorites too!

G R E N A D I E R Once I sort out my 3d printer this summer, that's one of the first things on the list. Foam on the inside for fitting, and an amber pinlock (motorbike helmet inner visor layer) as a visor.
absolutely grenadier
This is the way.
Grenadier! Perfect helmet
Wooo
M V (B)
I always stuck with the Mark V(B)
A Spartan of culture I see
Gungnir. Was sad to see it put in Infinite's store.
And it wasn’t even for the mark vb armor core
It will be at some point since both cores are canon. Unfortunately since we haven’t been given a date, “some point” could be no time soon.
I'd give it 9 months at the minimum
No attachments on it either since it's attached to the base Stormfall helmet which nobody asked for/uses. Plus the visor colour doesn't make a difference to the camera lens. Sloppy work from 343.
Was sad to see it looked monstrous compared to Reach
Recon
Commando, Hazop, Operator
The CQC Helm. So I'm a little miffed at why it's in the game files but not available...
Copy pasting my recent comment from elsewhere, about the unreleased Reach helmets: They're probably trying to figure out what to do.

Dang, that would really sting if they're withholding them for another Battle Pass. Makes sense though.
I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. I think they’re saying they could be available if you levelled up season 1’s BP as the season 1 BP doesn’t have as many armour unlocks as season 2. If this were the case they’d be available retroactively.

My helmet since H3. And yes I too am confused.
Do you mean CQB ?
Oh yeah, I forgot CQC and CQB are two different helmets in Reach.
ODST, Scout, Recon
These would be my picks
They have that high speed & focused look
Air Assault. Current helmet in MCC and Infinite, I just think it's really clean.
Pilot. Hands down
I felt like it made the most sense given six’s background so I geared my six with pilot-themed gear and an orange paint job like a survival suit
I honestly never got the appeal for the pilot helmet. I remember seeing many high ranked players use it but I preferred eva for the full helmet visor look
To me pilot looks like a sturdier EVA. EVA just has a dome
ODST with the UA attachment
Recon
CQC, Mk VI, Gungnir. i just can’t choose
Security helm God I love the marble blaster helm (not in your pic)
Operator and odst for sure
Operator was always kinda sick. So was scout and commando
Good ol EVA. Rocked it and will keep on rocking it when I can
That’s a bold choice. I respect that.
Hazop or Operator. Happy to see so many diverse answers
My go to helmets are recon, odst, and scout. In that order.
JFO
Gungnir
Gungnir obviously
Security :)
Classic Mk. V is just so hard to go wrong with IMO
Pilot and Operator, need them in Infinite asap
Eod and grenadier
For me, its between Military Police, Operator, and ODST. I really liked making my guy look like either a normal marine or an ODST because of how much respect I have for them putting up a good fight against the Covenant. Operator just looks dope.
Same.
Operator
Recon, especially with that attachment in the picture. After that, Scout, Commando, and Mk. V. Honestly though, the hard question is picking which one is the worst, because all the Reach helments look really cool.
Gungnir
Grenadier why is no one talking about Grenadier
Pilot
Grenadier
Scout and mk 5 but def mk5 if i had to choose one
Pilot but only with the attachment that goes over the top
Where my Scout homies?
I want the haunted helmet to make a comeback
Is the joke that you left out Security? Because I’m upset :(
Grenadier is first. But shoutout to EOD for that big improvements from Halo 3.
Security, which the bell end hasn’t even listed
CQC, just wish it wasn't behind a pay wall in infinite
As far as I'm aware we haven't even had the option to pay :(
May I ask why you like that one, it’s your opinion but I don’t get the huge hype over it
CQB, Hazop with attachments
They honestly all look really good, none of them are bad imo. My favorite Reach original helmet is probably Commando or JFO, my favorite preexisting helmet in the Reach style would be EOD or Scout which imo greatly improved their Halo 3 counterparts
EOD
Wheres mark vi that was always my go to
My top 3 : Pilot, JFO, Hazop (with attachments)
Commando and ODST
Every single helmet in the 4th horizontal row could qualify as my favorite.
Haunted
CQC, Operator, and JFO were my faves.
My favourite helmet in reach is probably CQB. My favourite helmet from reach is probably Commando or Mark V (B)
EVA
Pilot
Eva and odst
EVA/EVA[C]
ODST and variations slap.
Mark V, but for new designs I love the Scout.
EOD ftw
Odst
Commando, hands down.
Recon has just always had the look I needed
I’d love to see a mark v with some form of a brim above the visor similar to the mark vii
Commando. I did use grenadier a lot in the original release though.
ODST. Design cool
Military Police
Recon with both attachments and eod. Kept switching back and forth between the two. Eod with as much bulky shit i could put on and recon looking more lightweight/mobile
It’s always been ODST. Just something about it’s design just clicked for me.
Recon gang.
Operator. If it ever comes to Infinite I'll actually use Mark V(b). Until than mark v(b) will Continue to be the most boring armor in infinite.
Recon with the UA/HUL 3 attachments is my favorite helmet in the series.
Where my operator homies at? Also, row 4 here is nothing short of perfection.
ODST
EVA
EOD gang for life
EOD
MK V
My favorite helmet was the Operator
I always rocked Operator
ODST
MILITARY POLICE!
CQB Tho thats Vanilla Reach - Fractures has enslaved me to the Plague Doctor helmet grindset
Elites
Operator 🤤
EOD. Reach has the best looking EOD helmet
Operator ALL day.
EOD
Mk V, ODST, and Mk V (B) in that order; I had so many hours just spent testing different armour combinations in reach, good times
GUNGNIR
CQC
Mk V (b). Something about it strikes me as the perfect evolution of ODST for a Spartan (even if lore wise Air Assault actually fits that niche.)
Can’t recall what I wore back in the day but now it would be ODST.
Commando, also personally I think MkVB is underrated.
(In no order) Commando, EOD, Grenadier, Mark V [B] and the iconic Mjolnir Mk. V
EOD gang baybeeeee
Gungir
ODST all day.
The Operator with the side attachement is my favorite Halo helmet of all time. Nothing even compares imo
Mk V
ODST with UA/CNM attachment
Pilot with the Armor on top and the Courier Pearl
Recon
Mark V and Mark V(B) although I really do think all helmets look good
Eod. Tried military police once and the lobby bullied me the entire time
I always liked Pilot
surprised we don’t have this much helmets in infinite for free lol
