I’m just finally starting to track the number of “classic” designs (bungie era) that are returning to Infinite.
I think this is a really, really good thing to be seeing. One of my biggest issues with Halo 4 and 5 was that so many designs were replaced (arbitrarily, from my perspective,) with new designs. Most of those new designs reflected an art direction I wasn’t interested in, so I’m glad to see that so much of it is reverting now. Have you noticed any classic designs coming back that I don’t list here? Are there classic designs you would like to see return? I know some of these are technically new designs, but I’m listing anything I perceive as returning to a classic Halo look. Also welcome to discuss why 343 would re-design these things in the first place.
Classic designs coming back:
Marines (they look more like Reach than 5 to me)
Chief’s Armor/MJOLNIR in general looking like 4K versions of reach rather than power rangers
Pelican
Battle Rifle
Rocket launcher
Classic designs I want to see come back:
Falcon, Hornet, anything but the wasp
The older warthog style without gas cans… I know its too late for this.
M6D magnum
M90 Shotgun
Re-designs that really annoyed me:
Chief’s armor in 4/5
Pelican DT-79
Forward Unto Dawn
The bulldog shotgun. Seems like a cool addition to what we already have.

I would adore the classic MA5B & MA5C Assault Rifles to return - as well as the classic M90 & M90A shotguns:metal:t2:
