  • Subject: Spartan Helmet Personality Profile
Subject: Spartan Helmet Personality Profile

What's up dudes? So, I am on these forums quite a bit and have come across all different types of personalities displayed amongst our Community of BNET users. I have noticed certain trends in relationship to their attitude and they type of Helmet they wear. At the expense of creating a the dreaded "wall of text" I will list the helmet and give a short description of the general personality characteristics attributed to it.

1. Mark 6- your basic Halo player. cut and dry. not really adventurous. I rarely see too many montages or cool forge shananagins coming from the Mark 6. They just play to play

2. CQB- Generally friendly and considerate. Very few original threads coming from the CQB, but very good at responding to those who need help or coming the defense of those being unjustly flamed. (I proudly count myself among the CQB) We appreciate the forums as a public gathering place and encourage others to use them.

3. EVA- Generally quite knowledgable. I have observed not a few EVA's who seem to have a rational, logical answer for most problems. They seem to have insider information and can give you very easy to understand, insightfull answers to your questions.

4. Hayabusa- Wannabee's. (No offense) They try to act tough, and play a mean game, but you can tell they dont really know what they are talking about. Their threads generally contain numerous gramatical errors, and misinformation. They like Halo, but are quick to flame BUNGIE for things going wrong that are THEIR OWN fault.

5. Rouge- These are the NON-Wannabees. Rouge wearers generally are good players who enjoy a competitve game. They get upset easily at the injustices of lag or the glitches and are not afraid to voice their opinion on BNET. Rouges (unlike Hayabusa) however, will bring video footage or other PROOF of misdeeds to the forums. They will try to logically present issues with reason and hope for similar responses from the community.

6. Mark 5- Your Halo purist. Mark 5's can be seen posting many threads comparing and contrasting Halo 3 with Halo in it's purest and god-like form; the ever befamed- Halo:CE. They much desire the Halo:CE maps to be remade such as Sidewinder, Chill-out and Blood Gulch. Many MLG players wear mark 5 as props to their roots and as such, many mark 5's will stand in staunch defense of MLG and it's format.

7. EOD- The rebels. These guys proudly wear the ugliest helmet in the game....just dont tell them that. Many EOD wearers sport bad tempers and "wall of text" rants about the BS that is Halo 3. They are super competitve and usually very skilled players. They arent afraid to tell BUNGIE were to shove the game though, if things dont go right. If you should get killed by an EOD in close quarters, you may expect a teabagging or two.

8.Security- The elitists. These guys are fabulous at Halo. They like to make sure that everyone knows it. They boast the most difficult head in the game. Generally, Security wearers are posting links to their stats or video footage of a sweet multikill. Dont say anything stupid in front of Security or prepare to get flamed. They dont shy away from putting a newb in their place.

9. ODST- Generally your les skilled players. They prefer the campaign mode to multiplayer as they 1. Proudly sport the Helmet of cool human characters of the campaign and 2. wear the first helmet given to them in MMing. ODST threads are generally frought with questions like "how do i do this?" or "how do i do that?" Most of us roll our eyes when we see ODST threads because the topic is usually from the HALO 101 handbook or juvenille.

10. Scout- The Scout users are generally duplicitous. In fact, you dont see too many Scouts on BNET. They are hard to catagorize. They are for the players who havent quiet figured out who they are and therefore a little bit of everything. Some are jerks, some are nice, some are dumb. Scouts can turn on you within a thread as they are easily swayed and hardpressed to take a definate stand. Scouts are more observant.

Anyhow, like I said, these are just things that i have noticed. I am on these forums quite a bit. I wanted to go into more detail about each one but i was afraid i would turn poeple off from reading it. If this goes against your observation then let me know. I'm CQB and welcome the freindly debate.

And yes, i have way too much free time on my hands. I am off of work today and determined to do nothing but lay around and play on the computer. Thats why i can take the time to make a thread like this.

Listen, there are going to be exceptions to everything. Youre probably very good. The only people that are likely to respond are those who DONT fit the profile. It's going to end up making my theory look stupid but, oh well. I'm just havin fun.

Straight outta TeXaS

He said all of these things were just his observations, he's not making fun of people or getting pissed because they wear a certain helmet. I don't agree with all of it, and I agree with Boost's post, I wear whatever helmet I want, which just happens to be Mark V.

Not judging. Profiling. There is a big difference. And like i said, it's just for fun and what's likely to happen is that the only people responding are going to be those who DONT fit the profile. There are exceptions to every rule. Just have fun with the thread and see if you agree with a couple of them. I'm on BNET a lot and these are just things i have noticed.

The problem with internet forums is you've got a ton of people with exceptionally strong feelings they want to convey to others, and yet they've been cursed with exceptionally poor communication skills. It's like an angry rabid dog with no legs trying to run after you.

I fall into the Security category sooooooo badly. XD

"Fifty years from now, when you're looking back on your life, don't you want to be able to say that you had the courage to get in the car?"

Well, I have to disagree with you on this one. I use the ODST helmet and I wouldn't consider myself one of "the less skilled players." I may not be the best in the game, but I can kick some ass when I want to. I also would rather play MM than campaign, so that doesn't match me at all.

I don't brag...I wear the security because it looks funny. Almost like a fat oversized Buggy-Face! lol I also wear CQB when I'm just playing with friends or don't feel like distracting people with the huge eyes. Security also helps, because It seems to intimidate people in the pregame. It used to make me think, "uh oh! They have security! they must be good!" Until I got the acheivments and one of my friends asked me if I used the language filter trick. That's when I learned about that trick. But I spent forever getting mine the right way... oh well.

Well, apearantly i struck a nerve with the ODST community. Again, and this may be the last time i say it, I'm just speaking generally from what i have noticed. If it's not you, fine. I apologize. Look at the other helmet profiles and let me know what you think about those.

Lol what? This is completely stupid. People wear what they like, nothing more, nothing less. Has nothing to do with personality.

  • 01.25.2008 11:39 AM PST

I didn't even know you could get rouge. Does that mean you can also get lipstick and eyeliner?

On another and completely unrelated note, you forgot to mention the rogue helmet.

Haha that pretty much hit the nail on the head. Reminds me that I hope Sidewinder is in this new map pack. And before I leave...

Halo:CE is so much better than Halo 3.

Hey, this isn't set in stone "You are this, or nothing at all". It's a simple comparison done via obvious information. I wear Rogue, but I'm not the best player. I often switch between Rogue, ODST, and Scout.

-edit- Actually, now that I think about it, I'm a mix of all three. He did pretty good.

  • 01.25.2008 11:40 AM PST

This is quite true, not entirely maybe but a lot of the people wearing these helmets fit the bill Although it does NOT go for every person who wears this helmet or that helmet. I'm not sure about me though because I switch between Helmets a lot, and dont have a prefered spartan Helmet. I always avoid the Hayabusa and rogue helmets though because I dont like them.
