Paramount+ UK launch[edit]

To celebrate the launch of Paramount+ (and thus, the television show) in the United Kingdom and other countries, a large Paramount+-themed display was hosted in London. The display included several props from the Halo series, with accompanying lore.[7] The props' descriptive text is archived below.

Master Chief - Mark VI Helmet
  • The Master Chief wears a prototype Mark VI helmet, with legacy MJOLNIR powered assault armor integration handled by a custom firmware written by Dr. Halsey. The helmet extends and enhances the Chief's natural talent for coordination and situational awareness, helping him direct Silver Team to maximum tactical effectiveness.
Kai-125 - Berta helmet
  • Kai's Mk. IV/B helmet was developed alongside a Spartan-specific variation of the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Armor Defense System. Kai has modified her suit with sniper targeting interlinks and "smart shot" interfaces suited for her long-range fighting style.
Riz-028 - Samuel helmet
  • The Mk. IV/S helmet features novel sensor and BIOS improvements co-developed by Riz-028 after her close analysis of Covenant hunter-seekers during the Arcadian campaign. Her work continues to inform the secretive MJOLNIR reconnaissance and surveillance program and its future helmet designs.
Vannak-137 - EOD helmet
  • Vannak's helmet is well-suited for close-range combat in environments saturated with thermobaric munitions or exposed to overpressure from nearby tactical nuclear weapons. Both are situations in which Vannak has perfected his own style of shock-and-awe assaults.
