i dont know if it is just me, but i really miss the old halo art style. the newer art styles to me look very weird and to me i feel like they have downgraded.
the one art style that really needs to comeback in halo 6 is the old grunt. the grunt was beautiful back in the old days, but now its very ugly.
Also it would hurt to bring back the old guns and the old spartan arm that didn’t pop out in complete darkness. the old armor was so much nicer than the current armor.
the current armor looks like it was made out of plastic and the old armor looked tough and used (in a good way with scratches and such that made it look like it was used in battle plenty of times).
Some of the very clear design changes I feel aren’t as visually appealing as previous ones. The only one that really bugs me is the Elites. They don’t look elegant any more (much bulkier and hunched), and their upper mandibles look like they’re trying to bite their eyes.
Based on the flavor text of some of the newer H5 reqs, the UNSC is pretty desperate for weapons, armor, and vehicles. I’d speculate we’d see in H6 either a return to the classic art style or maybe 343 could go the mad max route and have a bunch of improvised weapons and vehicles. Imagine a level where you fight a Guardian using a Mammoth or maybe an H3 Elephant and all the armor is enhanced with Scorpion and Warthog plating.
