I’m just curious, is it possible to do visual changes with merely updates? I’m thinking of the marines in Halo 4 as they have received a lot of negative comments due to their change of armour from previous Halo games. Personally I see them as an expeditionary force rather than “marines”, and with that said I find them pretty cool. Although there are some things that could be added to make them look better!
For the white troopers, add chest armour along with leg and arm plates. This would make them look more badass, as they for the moment seem to be armed for paintball rather than actual combat. It’s the 26th century… only using ballistic vests seems a bit outdated.
Add some sort of leg armour because they currently look pretty fat to be honest :p. Covering that up with some armour plates should do the work.
Increase the military equipment attached to their belt, that would be awesome!
Remove the shininess from the red/green clothing. I don’t know why…but somehow the material reminds me of the padded jackets Russia used in WW2. I’m having difficulties taking them serious with their chubby shining legs.
To sum it up, these are not big changes, however I believe they would make the marines more appreciated. Do you guys think 343 would be able to fix with an update?
> i don’t think Bungie/343 has ever updated their campaign visuals, other than Loose geometry here and there
Not even that. Once the campaign is on the disc and shipped, it it’s going to be changed. The only parts of the game that have been touched is multiplayer and Theatre (but that last one only in the case of Halo 4).
Well I do believe that 343i needs to at least change the marines look for the next game because as of right now,they look like something out of a horrible 60’s sci fi movie. I liked all of the other visual changes that 343 did with the aliens to make them more intimidating, but they should have kept the marines looking like they did in Halo Reach, imo.
I really hope they change them for Halo 5. I don’t really like the way they look, but I can deal with it. The thing I don’t like is how they’re used. In the cut scenes, we always see those brown armored marines, but in most of the Campaign and Spartan Ops missions we see the green armored marines. I hate how random their armour is.
Since Halo 2, marines look pathetic, Do you guys remember the marines of Halo C.E.?
They looked amazing with their armor plates in the chest, legs and THE HELMET! omg
Halo is suposed to be a futuristic game.

What about CE’s marines looked futuristic at all? Their armor looked outdated by modern standards.
You know, I think Thunderstorm should have added more visible armor to marines, not to mention meld the 2 ranks together. Distinct colors work for the enemy, not for marines.

This.

I think it’s more accurate to say they look similar to marines from Alien film series.
But I think it’s their single eyepiece that distinguishes them from other marines.

I was actually going to mention the Alien design influence (Halo 1 draws a lot from Alien). I do miss that eyepiece, I wonder if we could see some form of it return, maybe as a Marine Sniper unit with dedicated AI.

You’re kidding me right?. I Love halo 1, don’t get me wrong, but god dang man the marine looked UGLY. They wore old rusty pieces of armor. And when they were punched, they sounded like 50 empty cans of sodas being crushed.
Marines are an endangered species i’ve only encountered them two or three times in the whole campaign, so they probably didnt look to much into their appearance…

The enemy probably killed all the marines because you weren’t good enough to kill them. I encountered marines everywhere.
