Thomas Lasky / Scout Spartan IV / Master Chief with new railgun
Jackal / Elite / CIO Spartan IV
Honestly, I am really liking the new designs for the game. Everything looks a lot more meaner and badass, especially that Jackal. It’s also got a newer, more futuristic sci-fi feel, but at the same time keeps the “Halo” feel if you know what I mean.
Thoughts?
With all due respect, no, I am not satisfied with the designs displayed in that image, especially the Jackal.
Jackle looks amazing, the books made them sound scary even though they them changed alot I think its for the best.
The Elite looks soo SAVAGE!!! Way better than the initial design of the Elite Minor’s on the FUD
The Jackal looks more like a fish than a bird. Not that I’m complaining. Sharks are scarier than chickens.

That’s not the point. They shouldn’t look like monsters, they should look like intelligent beings.

I was always under the assumption that Jackals were just savages and pirates, who do anything for whoever can pay the most. That one scene at the beginning of Halo 2 when Tartarus threatens to throw the Arbiter into a cage full of bloodthirsty Jackals comes to mind, specifically.
i like the design of the jackal but i dont think it should be the new design of the actual main jackal species, they should have kept the jackal roughly they way it has usually been and make this one a like a relative of the orignal species like how the skirmisher is.
Also there something about that elite that i both absolutely love and hate.
Is there a bigger picture? I tried to enlarge this one, but it got all fuzzy. I want a closer look at the purple spartans helmet! 
I thought CIO looked ugly untill now. Now it looks badass.
My first thought I think was ohhhhh sweet, I don’t remember.
They look good on the first look.
They ruined the Jackal. They look like fish/crocodiles now and their heads/necks are way too fat.
I swear is that elite holding a weapon which looks similar to a Beam rifle.
> I swear that elite holded a weapon which looks similar is design to a Beam rifle.
I thought that too at first glance. It’s just a Storm Rifle.
Looks like a very natural progression.
I like it.
I burst out laughing when I saw the jackal haha what the hell
> I swear is that elite holding a weapon which looks similar to a Beam rifle.
I thought it was a Storm Rifle at first but, now that you mention it it looks different. The barrel and stock in particular look different.
That Elite does have a beam rifle gentlemen. It’s a tad shorter than Halo 3’s but it fits the general shape almost perfectly.
I really do like the feeling and theme that 343I have given to Covies and Spartans as well. Elites seems to be BA sad that we can’t play as one…
My opinion for people who complain about more savage look of Covies, the Covenant has been broken, the remain won’t possess same amount of tech nor support than they used to, they had to adapt.
The jackals look really dumb.
