The Angled vs Roundness fight that most helmets have is ultimately the stylistic argument of if a helmet is supposed to be armor or a representation of the wearer's character. Angled helmets are inhuman and machine and complete the armored look while rounded ones force the viewer to view the armor as a character. this is why master chief's armor worked so well, it's close to a human face in a abstract way. 343 would do well to learn to make their helmets look like a face even though it's armor. I only started playing infinite during entrenched because the entrenched armor "looked" better than the samurai armor to me, and i LIKED the Hayabusa helmet. turns out because the kerberos and rocketeer helmets look like human faces they work. The eaglestrike accidentally looks like a human face but no where near the kerberos and rocketeer, and the Leadbelcher doesn't at all and looks garbage. the new Brodie and M199x helmets are better than the eaglestrike but don't touch the kerberos or rocketeer. compared to their normal helmets though Entrenched beats almost all of them because they have Character due to their rounded designs while still looking like armor because they're based on REAL helmets. Wernissage what you did in the video was redesign the helmets to have Character.
I think a hidden fifth rule, it's VERY important that these helmets flow with the shape of someone's skull, because comfort falls in line with the form factor of most preferred helmets, which is what I think you followed greatly without even realizing it, but Anatomy is a HUGE part of understanding how to make halo armor.
Agreed. One of the biggest issues some of the H4 and 5 helmets have is that they don't look like they fit the human head very well. Too many designs that aren't wide enough and extremely tall
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Venator redesign, but then you added the attachment and it made me appreciate the base version more. A good attachment can make a helmet feel completely different. Such is the case for some in Halo Infinite. Edit: God damn, same for the Tracker helmet (one of my personal favourites from 5). 343 should seriously consider hiring or collaborating with you. You’re a fantastic part of this community and you have a brilliant and inspiring way of designing things.
While every other helmet is very good, he kinda dropped the ball this one, deviated to much from what made venator, venator. He should have kept the sharpness a bit more.
@@kapthas59 I fully understand that. I did deviate quite a bit with that one. Best explanation I have, is I always insert some of my own flavor into these redesigns, and sometimes it's a bit much. So I get it!
@@theravenlordmasterofthevib8991 I think a whole core based around a fracture where humanity joined the Covenant would be nice (and Helioskrill would be one of the armors, I assume)
@@mosterchife6045 More like a fracture core for "Elite designed Spartan armor," since that's what Helioskrill is, a collab between the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios from what I remember.
The miracle worker is back at it again! Always thought that Protector looked like someone dropped the Recruit helmet and tried to glue it all back together. But you managed to make it look excellent! Excellent video as always!
I like your redesign for venator however I think the visor or attachment need to be tweaked because I don’t think they fully fit together because the Visor is more rounded while the attachment is still triangle shaped. The top corners of the visor that kinda poke out past the attachment is the area I think needs fixing but other than that great design
Love the Idea of attachments to make them look more like the original version. Tracker was my favorite in H4 and you make it look stunning in Infinite's style.
One Reclaimer Saga helmet I'd love to see tackled for a redesign is Wetwork. The vertical slit visor is so distinct and the sharp "cat ears" are just so out there that I'd be very interested to see what that looks like toned back and more practical looking.
14:54 "Some real Kopaka vibes from this one" It always surprises me when a bionicle reference comes out of the blue lol Wonder if he'd be willing to do a "Redesigning Bionicle" lol
A (to me at least) interesting suggestion for the protector redesign would be to make the "grill" part in the front take up the entire mouth and chin area, this would really focus your attention on the middle of the helmet and I think it would have gone very well with the UA attachment. I think it would also make the helmet REALLY distinct and give it a lot of character.
Since Microsoft owns Bethesda you should do crossover designs. Doom guy armor core, fallout helmets in the eagle strike core, etc. It would be pretty cool
I was increasingly impressed with every helmet you redesigned here; they're all so well done and fit within Infinite's style scarily well! It's pretty impossible to choose a favourite... ... is what I would be saying if you hadn't blown my mind out of this universe with your Venator redesign! It's perfect. I am obsessed with your redesign and I NEED it in Infinite now. It didn't cross my mind to give the helmet a full visor and make it's classic incarnation an optional attachment - an excellent idea that conforms with Infinite's handling of the weirder helmets they've brought back so far. You didn't just make Venator fit into Infinite's art direction, you may have just improved the design outright. Fantastic work, Wernissage. While I am gushing about Venator, may I add: it's been my favourite helmet since it's introduction, but I never knew it was even in Halo 5 because of the REQ System. I had no idea that they actually gave it a visor, and knowing that they improved it like that in Halo 5 makes me even sadder than I never got to use it. Here's hoping it comes to Infinite, and here's hoping it looks even half as amazing as your redesign!
Thank you so much! The Venator redesign was defnitely a risk, but it’s probably my favorite too. It’s very different, but that’s kinda what I like about it. Thanks again for the kind words, really appreciate it!🔥
So something I noticed with your designs is that in terms of Visors, you seem to go in the same direction each time (when a visor isn’t visible, put one in front). It works very well, but for Fenrir I believe you could’ve made an EVA/Zvezda style visor work, especially since it’s hard to tell where the attachment ends and the helmet begins, so you can basically do whatever you want there. Also for a “forgettable” helmet, I actually used the Cypher Helmet quite a bit in Halo 5, as it was one of the first helmets I unlocked. It’s nice seeing it again, especially with your new coat of paint.
Cypher - Very Nas. Venator - I love the idea of making the helmets look like they can be disassembled. It's very practical and mechanical. Looks way better with the attachment. Very Nas. Tracker - That's cool. Very Nas. Recruit - This is one of the best adaptations you've done. I mean pretty much all you did was make it a bit more short and stalky, but it really makes a difference. Very Very Nas. Fenrir - Very clear and defined shapes. Very Nas. Protector - Very Geometric. Very Nas.
In regards to the Recruit helmet. One of the reasons I love its designs so much (as well as your redo of it) is it reminds of a helmet I always wanted to have access to, but never got: the Halo 3 Marine Pilot helmets. They have a Halo 2 styled ODST look but with the raised nose piece. And I adore that we finally got a close design to it.
I love how the idea of helmet visor attachments let’s these crazy looking designs fit more in Infinite’s style. And it’s cool seeing how 343 are doing this themself.
7:28 TBH I actually thought the visor looked a lot like the face of the Promethean knight 8:48 goddamn that looks like a helmet i would rock, it's as if Mark V[B] and the ODST helmets combined AND I LOVE IT.
Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the 343i helmets from H4 and H5G, 'Tracker' was my go to (and my favorite) helmet in H4, even in MCC before they introduced the 'Keystone' helmet. I loved your redesign, I hope some day we get a new version in Infinite, similar to what you came up with. Keep up the great work!
They all look amazing! I think the areas I do struggle to vibe with are the visors on the Tracker and Venator redesigns; I think most people can agree that the visors are the most iconic aspect of these two helmets, and I think relegating that “uniqueness” onto an attachment is to the detriment of both designs. While both helmets look good, neither read intrinsically as their 343 counterparts without the attachment which I think is important. For Venator I think the borders of the visor need to be sharper, possibly with more prominent lines on the visor itself to give it more internal shape. As for Tracker, I think it would look cleaner if the visor was smaller, perhaps only up to where the visor lines are on the redesign. With the attachments I think they both look really good as spiritual successors to these helmets. However I think that they fail to be recognisable without them. Protector is a much stronger redesign personally, precisely because it keeps that visor profile the original has.
All of these are absolutely incredible, and your newfound love of attachments was very enjoyable to watch... But man, your editing is absolutely amazing. Moving the camera around the 3D Halo 5 model makes it incredibly easy to take in the original design, while making the lead-up to your changes all the more exciting. Your editing was always good, but this new addition takes it up a notch.
I honestly dig all the designs but the venator attachment should in my personal opinion cover over the entire Helmet from the points other wise it looks weird.
Man, another set of all bangers! Great work! Especially with Recruit and Venator, but all of them really truly fantastic redesigns that strike that perfect balance between keeping the soul of the original and fitting in with the new, all while either staying as distinct as before or becoming more distinct.
A request/suggestion would to have a series that regularly you do a design video on ONE set or piece, complete with shading/wear and scratches to more fit with the in game imagery. I loved the final shot of the helmets 'in game' and want more!
I’ve always thought that the recruit helmet kinda looks a bit like the odst helmet in some ways, tho drastically different. Also, I get the impression that the standard helmet from halo infinite is an updated version of the recruit helmet (tho I later see in the video that you mentioned that). I love the redesign tho!
What I really love about what you do is that you retain almost the entire silhouette and details while simplifying things by a good margin. I like how you treat visors as well. If there was only one thing I would comment on, it's texturing. It gets a little too flat although I understand that's to keep the design and structure clear.
Bro that new recruit helmet is so good. I love your changes man. I must however say that another rule you should follow is: allow the helmet to fit the same head. Every helmet has the same silhouette but with a different shell which keeps the look roughly the same. 343 changed the general silhouette of the helmets for example with senator and the first helmet you redesigned in this video. Some of the helmets feel misshapen and it's because they don't fit the head shape style that bungie kept simple and roughly consistent. You might say that EVA was too big for the silhouette which is somewhat ok. It does fit the silhouette but adds to the upper region. I hope this makes sense and helps a bit :)
My favorite 343i helmet is the Interceptor helmet, I’d love to see you redesign it because what makes me fall in love with the helmet is that distinct X shaped visor!
I love all the redesigns with the up armoured variants, especially protector. It feels like a helmet called protector would be used my some sort of security detail which would be fighting in close quarters and might need the additional face armour
I absolutely love these! My only personal changes would be I think Venator's attachment would only create 2 lines on the visor instead of three, and as for tracker I'd hope its attachment would also have color changing! Cause in infinite we have emissive visors and it can look closer to its 4 version that way and just... ya know, extra customization!
The circle vents on the cypher helmet look perfect for a cburn pipe attachment I love that Tracker is absolutely stunning I'd rock the hell out of that in infinite
Absolutely love your redesigns, the only thing id suggest is a spearhead attachment for the venator, to go over the forehead and give it the sharp look of the original without it being a mess of shapes
Idk of its just me but this is some of my absolute favourite content atm I got into halo from looking at the Armour in halo 3 when I was a kid and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever and when reach came out all I cared about was the Armour so redesigns and designing helmets and Armour is like my favourite thing to see and you make them so iconic and fun I love it, much love ma dood
Another great video! I don't remember if you redesigned the locus helmet but that be awesome. Have you considered redesigning the halo 4/5 elites or even something like a lobby design?
Your redesigns are getting better and better! Honestly I wasn't super sold on Venator until I saw it placed onto the Infinite armor and then I realized how cool it looked! Also, I really really want Recruit to return, you made it look so damn good! 🔥🔥
I was on the fence with the Venator redesign, I thought it got rid of the uniqueness of the helmet and made it into just a generic Spartan helmet although a very solid one, but then I saw the attachment which really made me think about the modularity of these helmets in Infinite and how almost all of these designs can serve as a stock design to be built upon. Tracker on the other hand blew me away, it was so perfect I’m upset that I can’t wear it, even without the visor attachment.
I’m glad you implemented an add on for Venators familiar look we know, and pays good tribute to its dead Space-like design. It would look even greater in game using one of the bright emissive visors for that extra visual flair. Most of the helmet attachments in Infinite itself are quite unappealing in my opinion, but the one you made for Venator complements the design very well.
Hey W! Great to see you again. Most of these helmets I never unlocked in game, so it's awesome to get more exposure to them. If I may, I feel a little torn about the Protector one. It's easily my favorite of this wave (and of any you've done) but the redesign took it a long ways from the Halo Legends Forerunner soldier design I think 343 built it around. You guys are free to fact check me. If you're taking any requests, could you consider doing Jumpmaster sometime? It's very plain, but I've had it forever and grown sentimental about it. Plus I'm tired of my wife calling it the "Johnny Bravo" helmet. Keep posting, I always look forward to your videos.
Redesign my favourite helmet from halo 5, Achilles. I think a video redesigning fan favourite helmets from 5 would be great. My fav helmet in this vid was definitely protector. I didn’t like the helmet much in 5 but opening up the visor more in your redesign makes it stand out a lot more to me now as a nicer looking helmet. Personally I’d also have preferred Venators attachment you made to have covered the top part of the visor fully instead of having it open I think it’d have made it look a bit more aggressive. Overall great video
recruit really fits the halo infinite aesthetic and i love how the black accents are so more subtle now. cypher & protector definitely are the ones that stood out the best tho
My reactions to each redesign... Cypher: Oh, that is sexy. Venator: At first I was like meh, but once I saw the visor attachment i was all for it. Tracker: I like it, a little reminiscent of ODST. Recruit: Oooohhh Fenrir: I would wear it. Protector: Made me think of the Crysis nanosuit. Overall, I loved every redesign you made, I love your work.
As always, all these redesigns are beautiful. The Venator is definitely a controversial redesign tho. Still did a great job integrating it into the MK VII style tho. The only thing I would've kept somewhat the same, is the more straight shape directly above the visor, cause the more round shape makes it look a little weird.
Wernissage, these are absolutely your best by far. They are AMAZINGLY faithful and follow the design doctrine you have set. They're recognizable, but so much better. Great job pal!
While I don't care for the first two remastered I really like the last 4. Though I would've kept the side indents on the recruit. Personally I got a very Greek aesthetic from Cypher and I would've gone the route of making a Hoplite stylized helmet making the top less bulked out and a curvy yet sharp connected helmet. Venator was an interesting redesign and personally better than the original but I understand why people that liked the og wouldn't like that
Athlon, Warrior, Centurion, Hunter. These where My favorite Halo 5 armours, would be cool ro se those redesigned! And once again satin it would be cool to see a Batman and assassins Creed armours. You are doing great work!
Ngl I'd absolutely rock that Tracker redesign without the attachment, fantastic work all around! 343 should definitely take some cues from you if they're not already
The Tracker redesign looks the most legit. You really nailed the style and it looks gorgeous. The armored-up look is something I’d expect to see from Reach. A toast to you and your bright future!

His talent would be wasted. AAA Devs nowadays don't actually bring their ideas to life, they bring the ideas of management to life.

While I do disagree with most of the Reclaimer Saga's Artstyle, certain armors like Venator look really good imo. Love to see what you do with them.

Would you ever consider doing this series with torso armor too? After all, the next most prominent piece of armor seen, covers the most mass.

Cause in infinite we have emissive visors and it can look closer to its 4 version that way and just... ya know, extra customization!
I just want to say thanks for giving some love to the Halo Legends soundtrack with your videos, it’s fantastic.
The shading on these helmets looks REALLY good!! Love your designs man. You actually inspired me to start doing this myself!
The circle vents on the cypher helmet look perfect for a cburn pipe attachment I love that
Tracker is absolutely stunning I'd rock the hell out of that in infinite
Absolutely love your redesigns, the only thing id suggest is a spearhead attachment for the venator, to go over the forehead and give it the sharp look of the original without it being a mess of shapes
Idk of its just me but this is some of my absolute favourite content atm I got into halo from looking at the Armour in halo 3 when I was a kid and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever and when reach came out all I cared about was the Armour so redesigns and designing helmets and Armour is like my favourite thing to see and you make them so iconic and fun I love it, much love ma dood
Glad to hear that, thanks!
Another great video! I don't remember if you redesigned the locus helmet but that be awesome.
Have you considered redesigning the halo 4/5 elites or even something like a lobby design?
These are fantastic. Hope you do more of these Halo 5 redesigns
I hope you eventually do armor redesigns
Beautiful work, You've really improved. :)
These redesigns look amazing. And that venator redesign with its attachment?? Oooh lordy that gets a chef’s kiss.
I’m glad to see another upload. What are your thoughts on the current art style on the armors for Infinites multiplayer?
I think the Recruit redesign is my favorite.
Your redesigns are getting better and better!
Honestly I wasn't super sold on Venator until I saw it placed onto the Infinite armor and then I realized how cool it looked! Also, I really really want Recruit to return, you made it look so damn good! 🔥🔥
Glad to hear that, thanks!!
Would love to see Heiloskril, the Halo Championship armor, and Achilles for the next video! Those are my 3 favs alongside Stalker.
That machinama style ad was perfect.
I still love that you have the halo legends music in your video which is actually my favorite halo soundtrack
it's SO good
Very cool designs! I especially love your version of Protector helmet! 😍
I was on the fence with the Venator redesign, I thought it got rid of the uniqueness of the helmet and made it into just a generic Spartan helmet although a very solid one, but then I saw the attachment which really made me think about the modularity of these helmets in Infinite and how almost all of these designs can serve as a stock design to be built upon. Tracker on the other hand blew me away, it was so perfect I’m upset that I can’t wear it, even without the visor attachment.
I appreciate how the Protector helmet looks quite a bit like an owl.
the recruit redesign is simply perfect. bravo
I’m glad you implemented an add on for Venators familiar look we know, and pays good tribute to its dead Space-like design. It would look even greater in game using one of the bright emissive visors for that extra visual flair.
Most of the helmet attachments in Infinite itself are quite unappealing in my opinion, but the one you made for Venator complements the design very well.
Hey W! Great to see you again. Most of these helmets I never unlocked in game, so it's awesome to get more exposure to them.
If I may, I feel a little torn about the Protector one. It's easily my favorite of this wave (and of any you've done) but the redesign took it a long ways from the Halo Legends Forerunner soldier design I think 343 built it around. You guys are free to fact check me.
If you're taking any requests, could you consider doing Jumpmaster sometime? It's very plain, but I've had it forever and grown sentimental about it. Plus I'm tired of my wife calling it the "Johnny Bravo" helmet.
Keep posting, I always look forward to your videos.
You should try and fit other games helmets with halo
Redesign my favourite helmet from halo 5, Achilles. I think a video redesigning fan favourite helmets from 5 would be great. My fav helmet in this vid was definitely protector. I didn’t like the helmet much in 5 but opening up the visor more in your redesign makes it stand out a lot more to me now as a nicer looking helmet.
Personally I’d also have preferred Venators attachment you made to have covered the top part of the visor fully instead of having it open I think it’d have made it look a bit more aggressive. Overall great video
God these redesigns are so awesome, especially how you did Venator Wernissage. Awesome work as always.
Thank you!
I’d love to see you redesign the maverick helmet from halo 5. I rocked that for a long time. Love these videos. Keep up the good work!
Wern 343i is currently hiring, try ur luck and apply, you have a very credible portfolio
Holy heck those redesigns look beautiful!
Thank you!
That Tracker redesign looks fire, nicely done
I would use Fenrir and Tracker in a heartbeat, they are so good!
Thank you!
I like the way the cypher helmet looks and it overall wants me to see a new season of rvb that takes place on Chorus using Halo Infinite.
recruit really fits the halo infinite aesthetic and i love how the black accents are so more subtle now. cypher & protector definitely are the ones that stood out the best tho
My reactions to each redesign...
Cypher: Oh, that is sexy.
Venator: At first I was like meh, but once I saw the visor attachment i was all for it.
Tracker: I like it, a little reminiscent of ODST.
Recruit: Oooohhh
Fenrir: I would wear it.
Protector: Made me think of the Crysis nanosuit.
Overall, I loved every redesign you made, I love your work.
Thank you!
These are probably my favorite halo 5 redesigns ever. Incredible job dude
Wow, thank you!
As always, all these redesigns are beautiful. The Venator is definitely a controversial redesign tho. Still did a great job integrating it into the MK VII style tho. The only thing I would've kept somewhat the same, is the more straight shape directly above the visor, cause the more round shape makes it look a little weird.
Wernissage, these are absolutely your best by far. They are AMAZINGLY faithful and follow the design doctrine you have set. They're recognizable, but so much better.
Great job pal!
Thank you KC!
These helmets are improving from your past videos. Keep up the awesome work!
Glad to hear that, thanks!
While I don't care for the first two remastered I really like the last 4. Though I would've kept the side indents on the recruit. Personally I got a very Greek aesthetic from Cypher and I would've gone the route of making a Hoplite stylized helmet making the top less bulked out and a curvy yet sharp connected helmet. Venator was an interesting redesign and personally better than the original but I understand why people that liked the og wouldn't like that
Somehow, I could see your cypher getting a FOTUS horn attachment that fully fuses the two helmets into one.
Hey, not a bad idea!
lol nice bionicle reference, designing a spartan helmet has a lot in common with designing a kanohi mask after all
That venator redesign is fuckin awesome great job wernissage.
Athlon, Warrior, Centurion, Hunter. These where My favorite Halo 5 armours, would be cool ro se those redesigned! And once again satin it would be cool to see a Batman and assassins Creed armours.
You are doing great work!
I'd love to see a video of you redesigning various helmets from non-Halo scifi properties.
That Fenrir redesign looks so good
Ngl I'd absolutely rock that Tracker redesign without the attachment, fantastic work all around! 343 should definitely take some cues from you if they're not already
would love to see a three-quarters view of some of these redesigns, so we can appreciate the profile better
The Tracker redesign looks the most legit. You really nailed the style and it looks gorgeous. The armored-up look is something I’d expect to see from Reach. A toast to you and your bright future!
Could you please do a side profile shot??? That way we can see the depth change, like for the previous Foehammer and Seeker???
