I am one voice and tbh ik this won’t go anywhere but never the less I need to rant this I love the old and new art style and I can hundred percent agree but I personally believe halo war 2 cutscenes has the perfect art style and best compromise between them both

I believe the new art style is overly detailed but the old is overly bulky halo 3 not reach but halo wars 2 was not only simple but it was smooth and slick with red team And the elites I can’t rant about the elites enough they were perfect with the brutes like atriox looking great

I hated old marines and the new ones but halo wars had it perfectly balanced

i.e I personally don’t like infinite’s Spartans but I think everyone went over the top with hating as they went too far back as it is a pure halo 3 art style which isn’t bad but it’s too one sided

I understand 343 had such a mixed and bumpy ride with the series and I respect that but ffs plz do it

I’m a reach boi with 2000 hours so I loved that story and art style and idc for bungee best art style but halo 5 worst 343

ngl halo 4 very very underrated :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

I think hw 2 has the best art style. I like it so much that i’ m using it for a fan made comic, however i like also I’s style, somehow it reminds me jorge

I’m a huge fan girl for the old art style so my point is pretty biased, but from the looks of it Infinite will be similar to Halo Wars 2 with a mixed art style between them. Obviously we have only seen a few things, Spartans, guns, marines etc but from what we have seen I think it looks incredible, much better then their previous attempts. I can’t say about the marine art style in halo wars 2 because its really hard for me to see them, but halo 4 and 5’s marines looked really bad in my opinion, from the footage of marines that we have seen they are leaning more towards a Halo 3 styke.

I am not a fan of H4/5 art style. HW2 looked awesome and so does Infinite so I’m happy.

I’m ok whit the art direction 343 took whit hw2 so hopefully this stays permanently

You’re right, Halo wars 2 definitely has had the best art style since 343 took over. H4 was, I don’t know, just a little off. Halo 5 was almost too alien, (the phantom looked like a living ship from no man’s sky), but Halo Wars 2 has really combined old and new into the best style and look.

The art style used by Bungie in Halo 1 through 3 and Reach looked almost realistic. Halo 4 and 5 looked far too artificial, too alien. It looked like something out a Saturday morning cartoon show. Halo Wars 2 was awesome as it used the old art style from its predecessors.

Halo wars 2 did a brilliantly excellent job while updating old weapons and characters from the UNSC, plus the new things like the snipers, omega company or the mecha also looked fantastic. They respected the design language of the UNSC perfectly with them and it’s something Infinite should do. I’m not a big fan of the whole presentation, the environments or even the banished, but it’s totally a step in the right direction after H5
