How did Elites turn to this?

Hey guys! First post here.

How did Elites turn from this awesome thing;

to this?!

I feel like 343 failed on this point and lazily just used Reach’s models.

Halo 4 does not use Reach’s models.

Incredible new design… but that’s just my taste. Have you not seen the other Elites? especially the Zealots.

> Halo 4 does not use Reach’s models.

They seem to be more similar to Reach’s than Halo CE, 2 and 3’s.

according to the Thursday war they are from a remote colony cut off from the rest, they don’t even know the war is over…hell they don’t even know who MC is

Spoilers!

I don’t see how the Reach Elite models and the H4 Elite models are evidence of “copy-paste.” They both have their distinct differences.
This guys either Guptil, an attention hore, a troll, or all 3.

Space -Yoink!- is a hell of a drug.

I gotta admit, that looks a lot better. Where’d you get that from man?

whoops…the tag did not take

The graphical look seems like a quite a natural progression in updating the Elite. I like it.

The grunts got it worse, they don’t even look like grunts anymore. :frowning:

Here on waypoint. A bit ago they put up renders of all the covenant enemies.

because they “technically” are not

With Walt and Jesse making it, people go crazy for it :wink:

Why did the Elites’ gums change colors?

Some questions will never be answered.

lol

space -Yoink!- … sounds interesting

Dude, your eye… WTF is wrong with it?

I just don’t like the Elite Minor armor. The rest looks fine.
