JJAB91 was clearly referring to those who don’t care about the wraith’s appearance, not to those who like it.

Actually, I was, but at least Bungie kept its design more or less the same. The H5 wraith looks like an animal making a headstand with its butt in the air.

I see a bulbous, blue tank that shoots plasma in an arc. The only big difference is that there isn’t much in the back. And yet it still looks fine and it looks as though others agree. But if it something so minor lowers your hype, I give you my sympathy.

Minor in your opinion. Didn’t you just make a comment about narcissism, Halsey?
Thank you, but I do not need your sympathy. I think it’s best for us to just agree to disagree.

Well, I AM always right, so there. ;p
But nah, I get what you are saying, but I do have to ask if the Wraith’s appearance is really going to downgrade your experience that much? Are you going to visually critique it when people are shooting at you? It just boggles my mind how previous changes can be attributed to new models of things in canon, see the Reach AR and the different Brute designs, and it is accepted…with Bungie. Yet when 343 does the same thing it is laziness. Why? That’s all I want to know honestly.

In all honesty, it has nothing to do with 343i. When the iconic appearance of the brutes changed in Halo: Reach, I hated it. They no longer looked like primitive ape-like creatures, but instead looked like weird alien…things. I do understand why you might think that all this stuff is an anti-343i thing, though. Some people do like to hate on 343i just for the sake of doing so. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean that everyone who complains about something is like that. And it’s not the wraith that’s draining my hype; it’s the small, unnecessary changes to iconic things that drains my hype, no matter who implements them.
My point is that this isn’t something I have against 343i and 343i only. It’s something I have against what I believe to be unnecessary change in general. I hope what I’ve said has provided a bit more clarity on why it is exactly that I’m a bit disappointed.
As long as they have the classic version back in I’m fine but if not I’ll just find it odd as to why it exists.

So the Wraith now looks like a plasma-hurling battle scarab that brings death and misery to all in its wake. Awesome.
(Scarab as in the insect, not the weapons platform)
Wasn’t expecting to see this thread again, I admit.

I never gave thought to the Reach Brutes for some reason. Yeah, I hated that they looked like middle-aged naked fat guys, but I always assumed they were like Brute underlings that got shaved to symbolize their low rank or something.
I had no idea Bungie tried to retcon them into those…things. That would’ve sucked.

I don’t even remember what the reach brutes looked like.

yea i like the new design, it seems easier to produce which considering the fall of the covenant destroyed most of the support and production infrastructure available to the elites. so new designs are reasonable as long as it work the same i like it, if it works better i love it, if it works worse… at least it looks nice

Yeah, probably because they were only in like one or two levels lol. The standard ones were chubby, hairless apes in weird S&M outfits or something.
Oh my! What is that thing?! Its hideous! My eyes! They burn!!!

> I’m a supporter of 343, but I have to agree, a lot of these design changes are beginning to irk me…
I would agree a lot of them are ugly and just plain strange. Personally I don’t think the wraith is that bad but certain helmets and other things are.
I actually kinda like it. I think it looks more futuristic than a bid blob that kills teammates just by turning. Maybe they wanted to make it smaller and faster but still threatening. I think that its pretty sweet. I love the old wraiths but i do really like the new one, it reminds me of the vehicles from start wars which is awesome imo.
Like idk it looks like able to actually move around better. I actually like a lot of the new covey vehicle designs. I’m a fan.
> 2533274825022855;1:
> 7-10-2015: New image
I think it looks a bit skinny, I liked the big, thick and wide design of the old one. But the scorpion in the background looks really weird. It looks more like a WWII tank than a futuristic UNSC tank
The Wraith looks pretty awesome, Scarab-like, feels a lot more alien than the previous models.

yea its kind of cool, but too small
