Thoughts on the Halo: Anniversary Cover?

Link

What do you think? Aesthetically, I like it quite a lot. The way that Master Chief’s visor grabs your attention is a nice touch. There even appears to be some smoke/ fog coming off of him. The background is good, but there isn’t really anything in the foreground before MC. Also, I like the new anniversary logo.

I’m not completely sure about his armour. It looks cool on the cover, but is it wrong canonically, or an OK interpretation?

Is it the black and white one that they’re using? If so I think its okay, I’d defiantly rather it be in color though

It just looks blurry and over-contrasted to me. Color would be really good.

I think it needs a bit more color but still really nice.

Thanks link :stuck_out_tongue: I seem to have left spaces in the brackets that shouldn’t have been there.

Sure, not a problem.

On Topic. I like it too actually. I think it’s fitting for it to be mostly B&W. Who knows though Cover art tends to change before release a lot.

I like it. The lack of colour gives gives it a more unique, classical feel.

I’m a bit put off…I’d have thought they’d try to re-create the original box art in homage to that iconic image.

I bet that isn’t final…But if it was I wouldn’t be too upset. MC needs to be GREEN though!

I like it. Could use some color

I like it. It is sleek and the bright visor attracts attention.

I like it, but I think it might be a temporary cover and not final, but I could be wrong, but all in all, I like it.

I like it. It just looks like a good mix between old and new

Not a fan of the helmet, but besides that, this looks awesome. I love the darkness of it all.

Its cool, but I believe it is a placeholder.

you can never go wrong with black and grays.

One question:

Why is the Chief in black armor?
