I love H5! This is just a hypothetical “what if” situation. I would personally change the colors and lighting to be more photo realistic, as well as some textures, so as to it being easier on the eyes with less visual clutter. Halo 3 is the best example of this. What would you change about the art direction if you could?
Change the Arbiter’s anatomy and armor to the correct models to differentiate them from the storm elites.
Halo CE: colorful
Halo 2: colorful, slightly less though
Halo 3: very colorful
Halo Reach: photorealistic, uncolorful
Halo 4: very colorful

I have never seen a better sunset than in Halo 3’s multiplayer maps… I WISH I COULD LIVE IN THEM

hey, I also wanted to say that XD
btw I would also make more light on explosions, like Halo 3
Halo 3 is unbelievably ugly. So many dull and grey military interiors and metallic textures.

Oo, pretty skyboxes. Are we going to ignore the boring earth interiors? I guess so. People around here worship 3 when it easily had the worst campaign in the series.

Halo 3’s campaign had so many plot holes and bad changes in character. “To war”.
Halo 4 looks great.

well, I agree with the Miranda thing, but Halo 3 is still the best.

I really hated Halo 3’s campaign, I don’t know why so many people liked it. That being said, the art style is pretty good. I didn’t like it at first, but it grew on me.

Halo 4 has maybe a strong story telling, but it couldn’t involve me at all, why? I was expecting more, a lot more, more from the soundtracks, more from every single level, did you notice that all Halo 4 levels are very long and every of it tells too few of the story?? Also, I didn’t really get the story the first time I played it, because I didn’t read anything about the Didact. I had to replay it and also do some searches on the web.

You are right. So boring.

:'D
The circle jerk here is real. I’ll be playing games whose stories don’t start halfway through the game and have plot holes, thanks.
I couldn’t pick just one thing.
I suppose I’d say the armor. Go back to Halo armor, not this weird stuff.
I would want the plasma grenade explosions to look more like those glorious H2A plasma grenade explosions. They’re close, but just a little different.
As for the people in this thread posting many links to H3 screenshots, that has nothing to do with what this topic is about. This topic is about what one thing would you change in H5’s art direction.
