Hardcore Halo fan here, read all of the books and everything

The new UNSC visual design is an abortion, and grunts losing their exoskeletons is a travesty and shows 343 wanted to change shit just for the sake of it (5 partialy fixes it by bringing it back on their arms and legs but their face still looks dumb and the damage is done to their lore). 343's elite armor is also retarded

That being said, the 343 elite design itself is great, the third best behind the 2 H2A elite designs (pic related for one of them) 343 elite's shitty, terrible armor just makes them look bad, but their actual anatomy is great. Excellent mix of imposingness to litheness that makes them look powerful but also sleek, their skin texture is a perfect mix of reptilian scales, their eyes and face look alien and fierce without looking like dumb monsters like reach's, etc.

Their armor is just so bulky in the wrong places and stupid looking it's hard to tell, wheras reach's elite armor was so good it made the horrible, awful reach elite design look good.

>b-but their teeth touch their eyes
It's an optical illusion, their mandibles are the same length as past designs with teeth in the same spots. there's just more skin covering the first joint that makes it look like it's part of the head and not as far out even though it is. I've ripped the models and checked.

>>386599256
Halo 5 has fantastic MP and the best forge in the series, though

You could litterally leave those elements exactly the same, and just improve the SP from 5 as much as 5 improved the MP from 4, aand that alone would be in the top 3 best halo games easy

Take a look at what their body looks like without the armor on.

As >>386602126 shows, the head anatomy is actually very proportionally in line with the H3 design, just looking less cartoony with more realistically sized eyes and less like a lizard and more like an alien,

Wot

The Sangheili look like shit on both. Their mandibles nearly bite into their own eyes with the 4-5 design, and the 2A makes them look like sodding turtles.

The 2A feet also makes NO sense considering their tiny size. Reach gave them elegance in their gate, despite the facial appearance. You can find a mix between anatomy styles.

Halo 3 had the best designs.

The forge team for Halo 5 did a fantastic job. And I agree, this is the best forge has ever been.

The game play for 5's mp is solid but the maps themselves are bland and repetitive. They have similar layouts and half are boring UNSC outposts. Some maps even reuse pieces from other maps (not forged pieces, like actual assets).

Reach elite's legs look so fragile and thin around the ankle and their torso so bulky they'd collapse under their own weight. Reach elites look good with armor, because their armor is 10/10, but look past it and you'll see how bad they are.

Can you address this? It does not actually. There was already a video where they portrayed the recent Sangheili designs to be a lot more clunkier in overall movement. Even if it is through animation, that is how 343i wished to exhibit their form of movement. They even had the idea to implement these massive tongues, which I'm glad never happened. Halo 5 concept art gives them a similar appendage. They are not mouth flaps.

>>386604771
2 looks too low budget, 4 and 5 are too high budget because they're Spartans not ODST.

3 and Reach kinda blend just enough hardware to say "highly trained" but not too much to say "we're literally dropping these guys directly into the shittiest fight we can find".
Prefer 3.

Ensemble studio managed to stay true to Bungie's art style. Their original vehicles look like they fit in the Halo universe.

Meanwhile, in Halo Wars 2, existing vehicles are redesigned and look like they don't fit in the series.

>>386606217
I actually think 3 and 4 are the best in their own ways.
4 is pretty stylized with not too much going on, but it still looks like a soldier.
3 has the clutter a soldier might find himself under without going overboard.
Reach seems like it has slightly too much stuff.

I can't believe people actually still post that dumb edit I did years ago

1/2

Bungie was contractually obligated to make more Halo and they didn't want to

They shat out an expansion and a destiny tech demo with minimal effort and experimental gameplay changes (reach campaign and multiplayer maps were the same, visual aesthetic is closer to destiny than Halo). Fanboys, CoD faggots and dumb kids stuck with it and the Halo 3 era infrastructure kept it afloat even though it did start to die off towards the middle.

343 come in and assumed that it died off because of the lack of support when bungie left and the campaign that didn't focus on chief.

They overcompensate for fear of disappointing the fans and go full lore-fag, but end up alienating 90% of Halo fans who couldn't give two fucks about the out of game lore. They build on reach's flawed infrastructure and add in elements from other successful games at the time, assuming that there was a lot of crossplay between CoD fans and Halo fans. They were wrong.

Halo 4 was received poorly by the community for many elements, but the most universally hated was the ordinance drops and loadouts, the easy to make argument was to appeal to "fairness" and call Halo an "arena shooter"

By now kids who grew up on reach and 4's core fanbase don't want to give up sprint or extra powers, and the old fans are out the door. They decide to appeal to both to save the community!

>>386607847
>go lorefag mode
>make shit lore
woah

>>386607847
2/2
But what old game to bring back? Can't decide, people will bitch if it's just 2, people will bitch if it's just 3, people will bitch if CE isn't there too, lets just put all three!

They promised the world and couldn't deliver, the technical side was an impossibility and they unfaithfully ported the games, super buggy nightmare. The general concept further defined the split in the community as everyone who wanted to play one game on MCC were SoL or stuck in one shitty playlist. Old fans pretty much left after that one.

Meanwhile Halo 5 iterates on the new crowd, everyone has Titanfall/advance warfare superpowers now so it's "fair", they call it arena and market HARDCORE to Esports faggots. Still failed because the campaign team wrote themselves into a corner and had to market around it to seem interesting, and the multiplayer is no so far removed from Halo it is it's own thing, and the numbers are waning.

Halo 6 is going to be an iteration of 5, probably with better maps and complete support at launch. The campaign WILL be good, so sales will be high, but the MP will wane again.

The community is changing, oldschool Halo is getting a huge resurgence in the forums and youtubers.

It might just return in some form, but it'll be at least 3 years from now.

>>386607962
They did it poorly by explaining stuff that didn't need to be explain.

But honestly, people who didn't read the books were so lost with 4

>>386607772
I love you dude

>>386608132
I completely agree with this. They went way too into detail to explain things that didn't need explaining. We didn't need to see the inner workings and total motivation behind the Covenant. They were just a grouping of alien races bent on galactic expansion and wanted the planets from the humans. That's all they had to be.

The more they explained them and their "governing structure", the worse they got.

>>386603535
The REAL reason is fear of splitting the community EVEN MORE the powers that be thought MCC was a risk as it is. H3A would DESTROY H5 and stop the momentum for the iteration on H5, H6.

the AR model actually ins't the Halo 3 one, it and the pistol both use brand new models, same for chief. Personally I don't think it's a problem, the forerunner ruins in CEA outright match CE's concept art for them better then CE itself did.

It's only really an issue on 343 guilty spark due to it not being nearly as atmospheric outside.

I absolutely agree 343 is shit at animating their elites but I stand by the models themselves are good.

I wish I had the image of the body model ripped from the game with all the armor removed compared against HR and H3 elites, I should remake it one of these days but I don't have the .map files for the games on this computer to rip the models from and I don't remember where I got them from before.

if you happen to know where I can find them i'd be happy to rip the models and show you what I mean

I agree to an extent but at the same time that's a natural extension of technological progress to MJOLNIR suits over time. The larger issue is that 343 shoul;dn't have made the UNSC recover from the human-covenant war so fast that they have the resources to develop further MJOLNIR suits or make new Spartans.

>CE matrix visors are never seen again ever
why?

The elites are WAAAY to big in halo 4, and I think I know why. In halo 1, 2, 3 you play as master chief, who is a spartan 2, the most advanced the SPARTAN program ever got, he had the training since age 6 meme and the physical augmentation done to him, this made him much taller and stronger than the normal human, in armor he is 7'2. the height of the elites stays pretty much the same from CE to 3. HOWEVER, in Halo Reach, you play as a SPARTAN 3, these guys weren't trained from birth and were just real good soldiers in a shittier version of the MJOLNIR armor, with less augments, hence not being super giant and being weaker, needing to use more melee hits to kill an enemy, dying easier etc. And in Reach the elites are a lot taller than your character and can kill you with one melee and shit. As you know, Reach was made by Bungie so they knew what they were doing. The next is 4 made by 343, and the elites in 4 dwarf you, even though you play as chief. So I think that maybe 343 just used the height of the elites in Reach for 4 forgetting that chief should actually be about the same size as the elites.

TL;DR

343 was confused by the height difference in reach and just carried it over to 4 even though in 4 you should be just as tall as the elites

Not technically impossible but so far it's at a very unstable stage. There's a mod that adds Lockout as a map, but it's just Lockout's geometry as a single forge object and doesn't run very well. The only real maps that could be added were all the maps from the Russian closed beta.

343 uses their own art because they didn't make the art for H2A. Think of this as 2D Metroid art vs Metroid Prime art. 343's art will always look different from Blur's art.

By being a garbage Doom ripoff

I want game with huge 300 player lobbies like MAG but the game has you playing one of the battles where the UNSC literally dumps 300 Spartan IIIs into a meat grinder.

Basically a 300 player horde mode against Covie AI with objectives that have to be completed.

No because ODST firefight was the only good one in the series because the maps were contained and designed well. I didn't know a single person playing firefight in Reach because the maps were garbage.

Best horde mode in any game is Gears3 because you can build shit up and have a base.

BTFO, indeed. Now kill yourself, dumbfuck.

>>386622048
It'd just be the most accurate experience imo. Throw a bunch of soldiers onto the map with seemingly insurmountable odds. Force actual players to try and form forward command posts and link up with squads while they scramble to complete the objective. It would simulate the general unpreparedness/ingenuity of the UNSC

Are you fucking blind? Look at reach's in the image you posted, it entirely changes the skull structure and anatomy and makes it look like a monster, not an intelligent, reptilian alien. 343's is It's way, way close to Halo 2 and 3 then reach. In fact, it's almost identical, proportionally. the eyes are just smaller.

Also, that image excludes the other H2A design.

Reach just needs a new eye texture and more pronounced brows to look like a normal elite, tooth eyes and lumpy face there are fundamentally fucked and would need the entire mesh to be redone.

>makes it look like a monster, not an intelligent, reptilian alien.

Bottom right looks more monstrous and primitive, Reach elite doesn't necessarily look unintelligent, just more alien, that's the point, the covenant in Reach is supposed to be mysterious and intimidating, i don't like the black eyes but I can see why they went with them to differentiate them from the friendly elites of 3.

What I don't understand is why anyone thought it was a great idea to put elite's mandibles to where the teeth will stab into their gums with the slightest bit of pressure and look way too close to their eyes, that doesn't look like an intelligent and highly evolved creature, it looks like a fucking evolutionary failure.

And I'm saying Halo 4's design does a better job of looking more intimidating, fierce, and alien. Reach's goes too far and makes it look like a demon rather then an intellgient saurian alien.

I recently ran into an idea that Halo with 343i could have gone a better route if they ditched the story they were going for eventually to Halo 5. As well as do something with that rogue covenant faction. Nothing about them stands out. Would have been more interesting if they had specific gimmicks to already existing enemies. Example: grunts being able to release their gas causing the radar to show red blips all over. And other small changes to have some extra gameplay.
