343 can't make a second skin for the elites?

That’s a bunch of bologna! They say they they don’t have the time and the funds? They cant make the different factions correct cannon wise? Bungie has already done this in halo 2 with the heretic elites. 343 saying that they don’t have the time and man power to create a couple new skins for halo 5 is like bungie coping out and making halo 2’s heretics green elites instead of creating a whole new skin for them. They didn’t have to. After all they only show up in one whole level of halo 2. Bungie did this with a team at least 1/8th the size that 343 has.

ok to clarify, are you talking about the Elite’s Armour or their bodies?

Well considering how the halo 5 beta alone was about 10 gigs while the entirety of gears of war 3 is only 7.32 gigs, I’m guessing making skins isn’t as easy as it once was, especially with all the hitboxes abd such.

We already have a thread for this.

Collision models are usually just a 70% more simplified version of the actual model being layered over everything. They would look like PS1 character models on their own (sometimes just a mess of cylinders or rectangles.)

Now, the install size for the beta had an explanation if I remember correctly (it would just be hilariously poor optimization otherwise.) The install size was revealed to also be Halo 5’s exact release date; 10.27, which was news for everyone at the time.

“loyalist” elites back then were also only 1 model with colour variations and some extra bits tacked on for honorguard and councilors, Reach/h4/h5 have unique armors for all ranks.

No

But then how will OP hear himself?

Agreed, I want so much the Swords of Sanghelios and the Arbiter to have at least the Halo 2 / 3 / Reach / CeA / 2A style mandibles, but it would also be good having Swords of Sanghelios with different armors from the Jul 'Mdama’s Storm faction…
