It is strange how it is, innit?

Ah, normally when someone mentions the outlandish designs of halo 5, I think of Tracer, void dancer, jump master, goblin and such. Personally, I’ve found Athlon to have a much more modest design that would fit better a classic design than the other halo 5 helmets.
what design changes would you suggest for Athlon to make it better, while still being recognizable as Athlon?
You could maintain the sleek look and general shape, but block it out a bit to give it some hard edges. That’s the typical difference between Reclaimer and Classic design. Reclaimer is just all curves and rounded edges as where Classic and the Neo-Classic use a mix of angles, hard edges and curves.
It would be great to see Wernissage do a redesign of Athlon. I mean the man did find a way to redesign Seeker and make it not look like a pile of garbage.
Make the helmet less rounded in design.
Give the armor original shoulders, gauntlets, and legs so as to not borrow from the Goblin armor design components.

Honestly the thread wouldn’t have to be asked to be locked if they just let the thread die and not reviving it constantly like its amazing how they think they are right when they have said
“Every armor in infinite is meant to be taken seriously”
And
“Halo 4 didn’t have a perk system”
Also happy birthday

Yeah I know. Also thanks. I was wondering why I had cake next to my name. Figured that’s why, but the funny thing is that my birthday was 2 months ago.

If you move your mouse pointer over the cake icon, it tells you ‘Today is the anniversary of the day I joined this community’

I like the design of HALO4.
The graphics were very beautiful and the light was impressive.
Compared to that, I felt that Infinite was a video with a different direction.
My favorite main HALO work is HALO3, and it was really cool to have an elite as a player.
I also like the art style of HALO WARS2. I think the HW series has cute miniature-like units.

The two icons are actually different. The birthday one has several candles (saw that icon on someone’s post yesterday).
Edit :
Anniversary: 
Birthday:

Absolutely lovin how the poll is going. Keep it going Spartans!
Bungie era artstyle was the best. Full stop for me. No contest.
My favorite artstyle of the Bungie games was Halo 3.

I’d go for the classic style. Reach and Halo 2 Anniversary is the prime example of an art style done right, mixing the familiar style and setting with a more modern upgrade, and I’m glad that Infinite went with that direction.
4 & 5 felt like a departure from what made Halo aesthetically good.

guess we will find out what a semi-classic Athlon redesign will look like in season 3
Have you heard/seen anything that says that it’s going to be in season 3?
it was found to be one of the 11 new helmets for the Mirage (SPI) core
Definitely worth looking into, been some exciting news regarding new/returning helmets over the past few days
I actually just saw a video talking about it today. Funny how that happens. I didn’t even go looking either. It just randomly recommended the video.
