From all of the videos I’ve seen, including the new Vidoc, Requiem looks pretty bland.
All we see is just rocks, pillars, and some Forerunner artifacts, but that’s literally it.
Anyone else think the world looks bland?
I think it’s beautiful.
Not at all, looks like it has tons of landscapes to explore.
I think Requiem looks fine in my opinion
They showed a Warthog driving through a massive vista at the end. I think we’ll see plenty of variety by the end.
Besides that, the forerunner architecture and rock texturing blows every other Halo out of the water.

Redundancy!
I think it looks good. It maybe a forerunner world, but it is still a planet. Different terrains will likely be seen later on. Doubt they wanna spill all the goods too early.
Besides nature and forerunner buildings, what exactly were you expecting? Clowns and ferris wheels?
You don’t think rolling rocky hills, great forests, mountains and lakes has some charm and character? Some panache?
I surely would never call something so beautiful bland.
What with all the forerunner stuff too…

It’s the most interesting game world I’ve ever seen… and it has Lava. lol.
Did you also complain about Lord of The Rings featuring wide open plains that added so much character to the land of Rohan?
Because that’s what the first screenshot reminds me of, and the be quite honest; it looks REALLY beautiful.
Besides: we also have a junglelevel confirmed, some indoor stuff, crashsite stuff…I really don’t see the problem. It’s a bit of a throwback to CE in multiple ways (bigger environments that make you feel a lot smaller, and the minimalistic approach to the world design) and I like it a lot.
It looks way better than any Reach environments.

This is probably the best looking Halo game ever. Heck, I think it might even look better then GoW3.
I think it looks very nice. I enjoy the look of Requiem so far. Gives me a Halo 3 vibe.
So…
the world, the landscape on a whole, is bland? Its a landscape, what did you want, red rocks that immediately transition into beaches and then mountains taller than Everest having waterfalls and ponies? Because that’d be dumb.
The OP is right. And I totally agree.
The environments look lifeless and without the really great lighting it wouldn’t be any better than Reach rocky landscapes (during vehicle missions).
The panorama is awesome and makes a bland landscape look great. But switching from day to night doesn’t change the fact that nearly all envronments from the video, of course, are just rocks, rocks and even more rocks…except for some grass here and there.
The link here pretty much sums it up.

And fanboyism about doesn’t work either. Red Dead Redemption, an open world game btw, showed how beautiful desert-like environemnts can look. Beautiful.
Don’t get me wrong. Each individual scene looks great, judging by its own design. But if every mission will end up in rocks, the I will call 343i lazy.
So far the only real exciting environment is the jungle to me. Yeah, but it looks like that this mission isn’t as open as all the other levels (because for that reason 
).
I don’t understand this thread? I suppose you think Earth is kind of bland because it has buildings, rocks, valleys, cliffs, and water?
What did you expect to see OP? Blue grass, orange water, green sky, blue rocks? I don’t understand this thread.

What he want’s is more life to each scene. Not wildlife. Just some more plants. Well, wildlife could be a bonus
What would Halo CEs second mission be without its many trees, bushes and great waterfalls? Yeah, it would be boring as hell. Boring like Reach’s ONI Swordbase mission.
