I mean really? If you haven’t already seen these pictures, check them out - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=470982 They changed the ENTIRE ANATOMY of the Grunts! The armor and both the Grunts and the Elites looks horrible. Bungie has kept the basic design of all the Covenant the same throughout the franchise. But as new Halo games shipped, the details on the Covenant increased greatly. 343 has gone way too far changing the designs that drastically. If I saw those pictures without any context, I would not think it’s Halo. I would assume it’s from some other game that is trying to copy Halo but doing a horrible job.
Specifically what I think looks bad.
Grunts - The head is way to big. The details on the arms and feet look far different than what we’ve seen in any Halo game. THE MOUTH! The mouth is exposed unlike in any other Halo game. The armor looks like crap.
Elites - Returning the the bad hunched over posture they had in Halo 3, instead of making them tall and intimidating like in Reach. The scales covering their skin. The fingernails. The eyes. The armor looks like it is prune like. Parts of the Elite that should not be exposed, like the arms. Looks like crap.
I think the multiplayer looks pretty good so far, but as for the covenant, they look like CRAP.
I actually think they look pretty cool. One of the main reasons they look so different is because it’s a new company and a new game. They want to put their own work into the Grunts and Elites (same thing with Master Chief).

They look more realistic! Dang, I didn’t think they would be this highly detailed! Sorry, I really like the new look of the elites and grunts. They look savage.

um…bungie already deformed what they had created. it’s called reach.
and I was feciciously making a point. also, who are you to say that this doesn’t look like halo? a little high and mighty, dont you think?
