It’s definitely inspired by that, though the story behind it is quite interesting. It is an armor type that belong to female Sangheili called Scion, who take over their keep if they are the only living direct heir of the keep. They are supposed to find a new husband, though those who manage to stay independent are acknowledged as very powerful, driving off males who may attempt to take her keep for himself via marriage or attack.
My man did not just disrespect traditional Sangheili armor. The scion armor is a classic as it was apparently worn by the women Sangheili. Nah you aint sliding after that.
@@Kizuki-0117 PREACH MY BROTHER! the Scion armor is a traditional and a classic. I always wanted to know more about the Sangheili and their society and with The Arbiter allowing females into the war ranks we have more possibilities. Honestly I just want more traditional Sangheili stuff in general
The helmet’s sensors are in the middle because the place where his eyes would be are displays feeding the sensor data to his eyes like VR headsets do. This way his eyes can be just as armored as the rest of his face and he gets more datapoints from multiple sensors.
The Scion armor is only worn by female Sangheili, which is part of why it’s so odd to us. After all, we know very little of the female aspect of Sangheili culture
Love how you say this one helmet is asking for a headshot just to go to another elite who has a parking lot for a helmet and you say you like the helmets
@@weedwhacker3003 so just because I like some other design im not considered a Halo fan ? what kind of bullshit is that?. I like complicated and futuristic designs in futuristic settings. Just because im praising the complex designs doesn't disqualify me as a Halo fan. Sure the other designs may be better according to you but to me this looks just as good.
The Osoona helmet in Halo 3 customization is one of my favorites as well as the rest of the outfit because it actually has little glowing bits as well as it actually looks like an elite would wear it
Anyone remember having the Officer Elite armor and the Recon Codes that came with the Xbox 360 S limited halo reach edition, For some reason my older brother took the Red flame codes for some reason but hey
I feel like the reach elites were some of my all time favorite for the series, truly love their design and that you can play as them. Piecewise customization would have been cool though
Your tripping. These are all great and the one that you don't understand with the screen sensors in the middle is just like every other unsc visor without visor holes.
A bunch of these helmet stores look like they’re covering they don’t even look like their forerunner. They look like they’re from like ark survival evolved
Especially the Scion helmet. That design’s classic for the Sangheili and it’s meant to be similar to the Arbiter helmet. Also, tall crests have been a thing with elites from Halo 2 onward and have been pretty common ever since, so between that and the obvious Scion similarity to the Arbiter helmet I’m not sure how much this guy actually plays lmao
I like to think there's an alternate universe where 343i made their own original IP and their art style is praised for being so wacky and sci-fi, rather than getting clowned on compared to Bungie era Halo.
The elite armour in reach may only have been "kits" but at least they were all good and we could customize them, plus you know, we had playable elites, *cough cough* 343 *cough*
So let's address the one with the "thing" in the middle like a visor. I could be a sensor screen that isn't seen directly through but acts more like a live stream camera that captures what's in front of the elite and likely has all sorts of different vision modes. Think of stuff like heat vision or night vision, things like that. It's not unreasonable and is quite practical and has modern day analogs.
343 elite designs are the most hideous ones, it took backlash to get them to fix it for Infinite. Halo Reach Elite design is peak and halo 2 anniversay cutscene designs were absolutely incredible.
The first anniversary elite helmet looks like a minor I like it , but the others yeah idk looks odd I wish they went for like the officers and custom halo 4 zealots

He would have loved it but since it's not from bungie he hates it 😂
It's the scion armor, basically a lot of the new halo 3 sets were more political armors than actual armor like the councilors in h2

I guess he means it increases your hitbox

Don't tell this guy that helmet tech isn't only visors
For real. He is about to be absolutely flabbergasted when he sees the Halo 4 and 5 sniper helmets.

halo fans having to explain how cameras work. its over
@@slug3982 Send me back bro, I hate this part of the timeline. Please.
The second the criticism for helmets starts every time they just magically forget about cameras.
The Scion armor is only worn by female Sangheili, which is part of why it’s so odd to us. After all, we know very little of the female aspect of Sangheili culture
Was that one of the ones shown and if so which was it?
Idk the first Halo 2 anniversary and the first Halo 3 ones aren’t bad
Halo fans continuing to not understand HUDs and cameras will never seise to piss me off.
I don’t even understand what your saying these helmets look pretty cool. Your weird brah
I agreed the Reach helmets look pretty cool!
@rookie4582 he was referring to the 2A but ok
nah I'll concede that some aren't too bad, but a couple here are complete trash.
@@noocoshimit was a joke bro.

That scion helmet you made fun of is not supposed to look like a combat helmet because it isn’t. It’s meant for the wife of a kaidon

What you talking about dude ? The first three look amazing, the second one looks like it was inspired by the alien from lost in space.
No. The elites in the other games look infinity better. Maybe if your not a halo fan you'd like it I guess
Yeah this guy throws away the recipe and think he can cook without it. The helms look so fucking good and cool

He is right tho. I mean you think they look good? Take the L kiddo
Reachs Elite Armor was the best, if only we could mix them up...
Yep.
Maybe if MCC updates the game that could be included?
Mix them up, *and* make them playable in any matchmaking mode.
@@Drakrylos
Mix is a good idea
Being playable in all Matchmaking
NO.
@@CloverGunHatUTY Why not? It wouldn't be ranked.
At least the pasta helmet is super practical, not gonna hook your shoulder with it when you twist your neck.
The Keepward is honor guard style, so it’s BALLER
Never let this guy cook again 😭😭😭
idk man these designs look goofy
He is right tho
It's sad that halo 2 aniversary was probably the last time we got playable elites in the franchise
If Halo Infinite add them it would be amazing
The Osoona helmet in Halo 3 customization is one of my favorites as well as the rest of the outfit because it actually has little glowing bits as well as it actually looks like an elite would wear it

Megatron helmet
I feel like the reach elites were some of my all time favorite for the series, truly love their design and that you can play as them. Piecewise customization would have been cool though
The reclaimer saga designs are so cursed
“He can’t even see his eyes” 🤣
Wait…. I said that?
After rewatching I can confirm that I said “you can’t see his eyes”
Makes for funny commentary bro 😆 keep up the great vids too man!
Why is the Halo 2A multiplayer elite the 343 style when the ones in the campaign are Bungie-styled ones
Because the campaign used the original game as a Skelton and just hanged aspects. The multiplayer was made from ground up using 4 engine and assets.
They all look fine
Reach made Elites scary again.
Your tripping. These are all great and the one that you don't understand with the screen sensors in the middle is just like every other unsc visor without visor holes.
Arguably the best Elite armor - Halo Infinite - is completely unusable, how funny.
Reach has always been like that, and it stays legendary
The pasta shell one looks like a blue eyes white dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh
These were cool to me...
The one with 3 dots in the middle kinda looks like a covenant version of the gungnir, looks cool.
L takes all around. Bro is just biased
I liked the reach kits. Full custom would have been better of course, but changing my play style to the class I’m playing as was fun during invasion.
Nah your tripping man, How can the Halo 2 anniversary design is bad for your? Check your eyes
Get ratioed… these are great
Another halotuber basically saying old halo good, new halo bad
The armour is objectively bad lmao, plus halo 2a isnt really new halo its been out for like 8 or 9 years now lol
First one looks like it has an optical suite in the center of the helmet, the helmet could have its own screens INSIDE the helmet so they could see.
A bunch of these helmet stores look like they’re covering they don’t even look like their forerunner. They look like they’re from like ark survival evolved
At least they have elites 😢
H2A elite: who Tf made a 07 megatron helm for me people.
Ngl, I noticed that 343 really likes when the visor for the helmet is in the middle of the helmet or places where it makes no sense
2:10 goes insane
There lowkey dope if you would have them on action figures
the pasta shell reminds me of halo tv show elites
I feel like the revenant filled a really cool niche we haven’t seen since
the pasta one looks like the tv show.
The pasta helmet looked like an armadillo shell
Wait if an elite is basically a predator than why is the eyes on the sides?
Those are fire designs. Especially the pasta shell
These opinions are trash dude. Helmets look great
Especially the Scion helmet. That design’s classic for the Sangheili and it’s meant to be similar to the Arbiter helmet. Also, tall crests have been a thing with elites from Halo 2 onward and have been pretty common ever since, so between that and the obvious Scion similarity to the Arbiter helmet I’m not sure how much this guy actually plays lmao
Yeah ok elite preferred species
We used to be a practical community now everything is about looking cool
I like them all 😅
Always liked the field marshall & up helmets, reminded me of predator
6th one looks awesome.
Reach Elites were supposed to be customizable but that idea was scrapped at some point
Now let’s talk about the decor in your step dad’s basement…I mean cmon..
I like to think there's an alternate universe where 343i made their own original IP and their art style is praised for being so wacky and sci-fi, rather than getting clowned on compared to Bungie era Halo.
Pozole
They did a bad job trying to blend the flawless halo 2 design with the halo 5 design
its actually halo 4
Halo 3 was the peak of elite customization. As an elite main this made me sad lol
Can we just talk about how every single helmet that he pointed out that he didn't like was a 343 helmet 😂
Forget the helmets, I hate that they used the
Halo 4 Elite model for Halo 2A multiplayer.
That was back when 343 try to force there new art style into halo, absolutely it didn’t work
The small helmet is actually kind of cute
The elite armour in reach may only have been "kits" but at least they were all good and we could customize them, plus you know, we had playable elites, *cough cough* 343 *cough*
ABWUDAAAGH
Ahhh a fellow CQC man of quality
Halo 2 elite design was peak halo design
Reachlites were goated bro
Agreed
I need to known ur thoughts on shikari RN
I don't play halo but honestly these helmets are cool, I like when designs go extra
Amazing what people do for views honestly
Bro just shut up 😂
I liked the ranger armor for my reach elite.
Im sorry, but that second elite helmet looks like a vacuum cleaner.
Lmao
@@XVII_RONINbro how the hell could you see the og halo 2 elite? That’s crazy
Okay Elite Preferred Species 🤣
Reach elite statement is vallid would have been nice to change parts around
I miss playable elites
He tried to cook without the ingredients. Rip
So let's address the one with the "thing" in the middle like a visor. I could be a sensor screen that isn't seen directly through but acts more like a live stream camera that captures what's in front of the elite and likely has all sorts of different vision modes. Think of stuff like heat vision or night vision, things like that. It's not unreasonable and is quite practical and has modern day analogs.
Illuminate in helldovers 2 are literally the covenant
If you think a bigger helmet is gonna lead to easier headshots then the helmet is effective cus ur gonna be shooting where the head isn’t
The first couple examples definately go against the basic design philosophy of the Covenant. Too bulky, blocky, and complicated.
Some people use the Spec Ops elite helmet because it looks badass
I use it because of Arby 'n' the Chief
We are not the same
343 elite designs are the most hideous ones, it took backlash to get them to fix it for Infinite. Halo Reach Elite design is peak and halo 2 anniversay cutscene designs were absolutely incredible.
Halo Reach's covenant were the best in design and behavior of all the games.
they look pretty cool actually
Who let bro cook
343 had the chance to give us elite honorsguard and councilor in H2A, and yet they decided to give those armors 🙄💀
The first anniversary elite helmet looks like a minor I like it , but the others yeah idk looks odd I wish they went for like the officers and custom halo 4 zealots
The second halo elite helmet is badass imo
