The cartoony art style, weird spray "blood effects’, no blood splats whatsoever, flat and soft textures. Brutes that look like something you want to hug instead of fight. Escharums teeth looking like candy and significantly less gruesome than Banished in HW2. No grit whatsoever as was very heavily in the traditional Halos.
This game looks like it is made by Disney.
Hopefully 343 listens to the feedback and make changes to avoid this, but with not long to go until launch I don’t have much hope. Do you?
When the fusion coil barrels explode they look like the shield potion liquid from the barrels in fortnite. Infinite doesn’t look like halo at all, except for cheif’s armor.

They gotta keep selling toys so the T rating helps their image I would imagine. Anyway, the title immediately made me envision being mickey mouse as a playable character lol. Maybe one day when disney owns everything we can see that come to fruition.

Ahhh, facts and logic. A rare commodity to come by these days!

The art style is based on the old trilogy art style. Those games were called cartoony too.

I have my doubts too. Especially given these comments by a former 343 employee very recently

I explained in the original post what is missing compared to the “old trilogy art style” so I don’t understand this comment.
It for sure tells a good story to what audience they want but the game could always have another more mature side to it. Looks can be very deceiving for video games before launch, or maybe we’ll end up getting another game catering to the Minecraft audience. Either way its still hard to judge with the amount of details we have.

I agree. We need to see the game when its released before we can judge it.
I’m OK with it honestly. There’s plenty of gritty, mature games out there. Microsoft will have a few others. The business of AAA game development impacts graphics and game design more than technology. It’s a mantra I’ve been on since forever. A game like Halo is going to need to cater to more people than even a God of War based on it’s expense and business model. It needs to thread that needle between pulling the Fortnite crowd and the older Classic Halo fans. They’re trying to do that. In the end, if the gameplay is good, I don’t believe us classic Halo fans will avoid playing it because the visuals are Disneyfied.
