Any one else feel like the Spartans in Halo 3 had the best graphics/looks? I love the graphics in the maps and vehicles and such in Halo 4, but just the characters feel out of place. It’s almost like there’s too much detail and design in all the armors to make a lot people think the armor is kinda weird. The visors on half of the helmets even look impossible to see through. Just saying.
Then there’s that fotus helmet, suppose to look a unicorn (couldn’t find anything more masculine huh?) but really looks like Saran. Will 343i get sued by Lord of the Rings for copying they’re look?
Only new helmet I liked so far was that hockey mask lookin one that’s default I think. But I think I’ll be sticking to Mark VI if it’s allowed.
Pretty much any Halo except Halo 4 has good looking spartans. Halo Reach, for me, has the best looking Spartans by a long way. They look gritty, battle-worn and well thought out practical designs.
H4 armors don’t look good in any way. They don’t look realistic and they don’t even look good in an unrealistic “just to be cool” way either. I mean… just look at FOTUS, what the heck man?
halo 3s graphics were very good for its time, but it looked very toy like and really shiny, so reach made it look more rugged and metal like, like hard steel, and now halo 4 is immensly better in graphics and detail i wouldnt complain about a damn thing, im proud and cant wait for it

Um. I thought it resembled a promethean knight. So maybe the horns a little long… Google promethean knight and you can see the similarities… In my opinion I like that one the best next to venator
I think before and in the beginning of a match, the armor should look shiny and new like in Halo 3, but further on in a game it becomes dirtier, chipped, or whatever like in Halo reach.
I liked how the Spartans would look different, but you could tell they are spartans, look at fotus, then scout, then operator, then tracker, the only similarity is they are a human, and have a visor.
Halo Reach’s were the only Spartan models that didn’t look like a child’s toy.
Halo Reach’s looked, by far, the best and looked like they’ve just been at battle, and overall more realistic. I’m unhappy that they’ve switched back to Halo 3’s image.
If anyone can clarify this than please do. I have a theory that the new spartan helmets work kind of like the iron man helmet visor wise think about it in iron man he had those small little eye holes however it was computer integrated that showed him what was in front of him conside ring that this is set in the future I believe that is what’s going on with the small visors.
Definitely liked Reach’s the best as well. In all the other games the armor looks rugged and built-to-purpose - like every single piece is there only because it serves some purpose. The Halo 4 armor looks like they designed it primarily around what “looked cool” instead of around functionality.
I don’t lose sleep over it, but still I prefer the older mjolnir iterations. Plus I liked in all the other games the Spartans armor looked recognizably human. I felt it really helped galvanize the player into humanity’s struggle in the story. Immediately you knew, “Ok, the guy in that big hulking suit of battle armor is lethal and he’s on our side”. It seems like a lot of the H4 armor has lost that feel. All of it looks far more alien now and less human. But, of course, that’s all 100% opinion. I’m sure there is plenty that hasn’t been shown that I will like.
reach spartans looked way better then 3 and the ones in 3 looked like a toy/cartoon.
Halo 4 makes every other halo look not impressive in any way. halo 4 makes
the armor look so much more realistic like something the military could wear now
instead of medieval full body plated armor doesn’t seem as realistic.
Halo 4 looks amazing graphically and im sorry you dont like the way it looks.
