Halo 4 messed up the designs

Unsc

  • Marines Wear current day modern bulletproof vests. Why?
  • There are marines that wear all white
  • The design of the helmets have become silly.
  • The pelican. Must they call that a pelican when it’s so different?
  • Glower blue alien engines don’t suit the unsc artstyle.
  • The broadsword doesn’t fit with the unsc artstyle. It’s a modern white plane with camel humps.
  • Everyone’s american (except that irish girl)When it’s UN(sc) military.
  • The spartan armour has become a slender crysis nanosuit with Gundam plating. you look at sets like wetwork or recon and think… eh?
  • the warthogs are covered in useless crap like bars with no purpose and fuel cans
  • Whilst master cheif’s new armour is “badass” and cortana is “sexier” there’s no way to justify such drastic changes to anyone who cares for continuity.
  • The shotgun, being a variant of the reach shotgun, does not need to be made “more futuristic” for the sake of being more futuristic.

Covenant

  • Jackals are no longer raptor like but rather far more reminiscent of eels.
  • Grunts are white. they’ve been blue for every single other game. they’ve somehow lost their exoskelleton. Furthermore since the elites have also become white for no reason the two look genetically related.
  • They don’t speak english. You have advanced translator technology that doesn’t work. How stupid.
  • The Covenant have green lights on everything now. Green neither suits the items that it has been newely placed on nor fits the vast majority of things which are covenant (with exceptions) Things like the underside of phantoms or the lights on covenant crates should be blue/pink
  • It’s kind of reach’s fault. But zealots are supposed to be generals. zealots are supposed to be gold. It’s the second rank of elite that is supposed to be crimson.
  • all of the things taken from reach and reskinned don’t look as good (ghost,banshee,wraith,needler etc)

Forerunner
-As grand and impractical as forerunner structures can be… floating limbs/weapon parts probably just takes up power and decreases efficiency.
-The didacts ship interior looks like something out of tron.
-If the prometheans are made for fighting the flood, i don’t think a glowing skull is going to help them inspire fear.
-The didact’s armour looks evil. Tis a little shallow to make it so.

  • The hardlight concept was overdone. It was great when it was just bridges and floating buttons. But most of the things ascribed to being hard light don’t fit the idea of hard light. a wider variety of weapon projectiles (mostly plasma) would have fited better. An avatar of an ai comming out of a bridge is also pretty questionable.

First of all, most of those points aren’t true. Second, these threads are getting really old.

I felt the old look was more “gundam” than the new. There’s too much mesh-looking stuff on it now to look gundamy.

But yeah, I agree with Moahearder.

are we actually trying to talk about changes that merit a discussion or is this another round of “343I tried new things and i don’t like them”?.

  • The Jackals look much more like raptors than before

  • Because all grunts must look the exact same right? despite being spread over dozens of habitats and conditions.

  • Or they are speaking a dialect that wasn’t witness by the UNSC. TTW gives you the indication that the remnants may be from far off colonies. Common sense on that one.

-Because they aren’t the covenant but one of many dozen of splinter groups hints some changes.

-said who? they are just crates man. I hate to see your face when you see a restaurant with a different color scheme than another in a different location.

  • Reach was the covenant army not the navy and the covenant remnants are using any tech they can.

-/opinion.

This is just ignorance and filled with opinions. You should have posted this in the halo 4 forum.

Don’t like the new armor looking like glorified plug suits with plating that doesn’t even cover most of the body

What the other 3 said.

We’re tired of listening to change-hate.

> Don’t like the new armor looking like glorified plug suits with plating that doesn’t even cover most of the body

It covers plenty of the body. Besides, these are Spartan IV’s remember? Not II’s.

They will continues you know that

They still look crappy though, They should look more bulky, yet they still look like plug suits

Most of it I didn’t mind. I really didn’t think that making Cortana more ‘exposed’ was necessary, and shouldn’t have been in the game as such.

It’s an M rated game and she isn’t even a human.

She’s not even more exposed, http://www.halodestiny.net/images/news/halo_4_the_evolution_of_cortana_hd.jpg

If anything she’s wearing more of a 1-piece swimsuit now instead of the black pasties of the halo 3 version.

she looks exactly the same

> she looks exactly the same

Yeah, given how much they did change, im surprised the black lines on her body didnt change more.
