Armor Design Regressing Again

The design teased last year looked amazing and true to the mark 6 style from Halo 2 and 3. But this looks bulky and awkward, and starts to have too many random details and shapes again just like all 343 crap armors. Just fire or reprimand whoever keeps doing this.

I think you’re a little too critical. It’s looks very faithful to bungies designs but I do think it looked a bit plasticky and a bit bulky but that’s all

What the hell are you talking about, it looks exactly the same as the e3 2018

I think it looks perfect, a perfect blend between Bungie and 343s art design. I love how it looks it could look a little harder and less plastic.

Bruh we only saw the helmet last year. Also how is this armor not faithful? Boggles my mind.

Not loving that particular shade of green and looks slightly more old-school than I’d like, but really I’m just here for the gameplay, and there was none.

So yeah. Another wait.

Poor 343. Got criticism for their own design, then changed it and got praised for it, now a new trailer and threads about hating the art style start popping up.

Just remove 117. He never had the numbers on until forward unto dawn.

Halo Infinite - E3 2018 - Announce Trailer - YouTube Halo Infinite 2018 teaser. When Chief’s leg is in full view, pause.

Halo Infinite - "Discover Hope" Official Cinematic Trailer | E3 2019 - YouTube Halo Infinite 2019 teaser. When Chief is stood fully straight in the doorway, pause.

You can clearly see his legs are much thinner in last year’s E3 teaser, and the actual design of his legs are quiiitte different.

The armour last year was very reminiscent of Chief’s much slimmer Mark V armour from Halo 2/3, whereas the new armour we have seen is like a mix between his armour from Halo: Forward Unto Dawn/ The Package (Halo: Legends) and Halo 2/3 (specifically the helmet). So I wonder if these are just changes 343i have made to the armour since the 2018 teaser. It makes sense, considering in their teaser presentation they live-streamed, they said they had actually continued working on the design.

Or…

Is this a point later on in the story where Chief has had to find old armour as his other set got damaged during whatever was going on on the Halo ring we see? They mention in their recent post, Discover Hope,

> The universe will continue the continuity of Halo 5 and in that sense contain the adventures that led up to this moment…

suggesting that what we saw is the product of events between Halo 5 and the situation…

Either way, the armour is significantly different from what we saw last year.

I’ve come to accept the fact they’re going back to the silly halo 2/3 armor look, but the bulking up has me somewhat happy with it. Just ditch the ugly shade of green.

Silly haha take a look at 4 and 5 if you want silly.

For gods sake it’s a very good armor design. Halo 2/3 Mark VI armor is king. Certainly a giant step above the halo 4 look. My only nitpick is how it looks a little plasticy, but you have to realize- the game is nearly a year and a half away. Do the words “work in progress” or “subject to change” resonate with anybody anymore?

I can take or leave the 117.

I really like the design. But I’m pretty sure this is a highly polished trailer so work in progress isn’t the reason people say it looks plastic. I think it just looks matte. Feels pretty Halo 3 to me.
