#HALO 3 ARMOR SERIES#
This divide seems to be another iteration of a larger debate in the community on the direction of 343’s releases, such as the overall “modernization” of the series with the inclusions of sprint, abilities, and other mechanics of contemporary shooters. We can keep adding polygons to the same helmets forever, need to do something new that feels new and interesting /QBuwJcZZQB I don’t want to hear about “it doesn’t look like Halo, it looks like Destinyyyy” This is the stuff Halo should be doing, make something INTERESTING Fans have lauded both the designs, as well as the initiative to diverge from traditional form. Certain members of the community are praising 343 for including armors that pay tribute to the roots of the inspiration for Halo armor, that of course, includes the Greek “Spartan” as well as the Norse inspiration found in the classic MJOLNIR armor fashioned by Master Chief himself.
#HALO 3 ARMOR UPDATE#
The Season 8 update also has its fair share of supporters as well. We’re suddenly okay with adding the most random non-Halo looking shit into MCC and everyone’s okay with it? Wtf? Remember when we criticized Halo 5’s armor for not looking like Halo? Despite 343i including a toggling option for players who don’t wish to see new additions to older games, one Twitter user raises concern over the update’s implications for December 8th ’s upcoming Halo Infinite. Additionally, some parts of the community cite lore concerns about the armor, as the status quo has, for the most part, been that each inclusion in your Spartan’s wardrobe comes from some corner of the in-game world. While Halo armor has always had design inspirations from existing warrior armor in the past, like Halo 3’s Hayabusa armor with a katana strapped to the back, Season 8’s update pushes the creative boundary for many fans.Īcross the internet, a large segment of Halo fans believes these new sets are too outlandish. These polarizing pieces of gear take inspiration from ancient and medieval warrior cultures across human history, such as Vikings, European knights, and of course, keeping with Halo tradition, the Spartans, and other Greek legends.
In one of the recent previews for the MCC’s Season 8 update, 343 revealed some of the most drastic new armor sets that a Halo game has seen since Halo 5 unicorn helmet.
#HALO 3 ARMOR SKIN#
Though there had been some minor fan backlash to the inclusion of skins that drastically altered the aesthetic of a traditional Halo battlefield, like purple Warthog skin with hot-rod flames. Items like weapon and vehicle skins, new maps, and new armors have been rolled out and greeted with mostly universal praise. However, much to 343’s credit, they have been outstandingly providing updates with new content across older halo games. Not many people would expect a nearly decade-and-half-old game to be receiving controversial updates.
For the shoulder straps and bicep straps I used these nylon straps and buckles at 15 mm and 20 mm width respectively.For many unfamiliar with 343’s Master Chief Collection, this headline may come as a surprise. Much like the forearms, the shoulder guard is curved to fit a shoulder and the bicep is perfectly fitted to a bicep. This is only possible with the two piece design as opposed to a singular piece that would require an opening that your hand has to be able to fit through.īoth the Bicep Plate and the Shoulder Guards were designed to fit strap fasteners to all you to secure the armor to what ever you decided to use as an under layer. The inside is modeled to perfectly hug a forearm so that it doesn't slide or twist on the arm and sits right above the wrist. This model was made by mirroring, this means that while the left forearm bolts use the "righty tighty" method, the left side is opposite.
The bolts are designed to be compatible with an Alan Key but work just as well just using your fingers. The forearm is a two part design that features the main outward armor and one singular in-body plate that can be bolted together with included 3D printable bolt (recommend to print the bolts at 100% infill).
