So I don’t really know if this is the right place for this topic, but there wasn’t a “upcoming Halo” forum so I’ll just post it here and it can be moved if it’s wrong.
So with 343 and Bungie, they both have different art styles with some 343 styles being better and some Bungie styles being better.
Example: 343 has done some great Covie designs with weapons and vehicles and some of the races. (I’ll admit that the Elites are a little too Brutish but that’d be fine if we see that the Brutes are even more brutish than before).
And Bungie had better Spartan and UNSC designs (like what was 343 thinking with the new rocket launcher and shotgun? Or the fact the Marines look like power rangers)
This isn’t a Bungie vs 343 hate thread, just pointing out some pros and cons with each art style.
But with Halo Wars 2, it looks like they are taking the best elements of both Bungie and 343’s art style. The game looks absolutely amazing, both in regards to the actual graphics and the art style.
So my hope is that this continues into Halo 6. The art style doesn’t have to be explained (like changing from Halo 3 to Halo 4), just do it. If 343 takes the design of Halo Wars 2 (which is the best of both 343 and Bungie), we will have the BEST looking Halo game ever.
So what are y’alls thoughts on the subject?
