You ever wonder where they found the time to paint all their phantoms green?



All that downtime between the first mission to the end of the third mission. Thanks for the help, Elites.

Halo reach characters >>> pretty much everything.

Grunts look flawless, Hunters are big moving tanks and Elites are big, nasty alien killers. In the other games, you couldn't notice how tall and built-up they were... in Reach, you can actually recognize the race that can lift a soldier with a single hand, like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aOw5_G11yTU#t=109.

Inb4: halo reach arbiter is quite similar to a brute. Yeah, but the other elites aren't really small, if you notice.


If you're talking about halo reach then why are you using a halo wars video as an example?

Halo reach had probably my least favorite elite design. It was just terrible, especially in the facial proportions. Now halo WARS, which is the video you posted, had a badass elite design

mandibles were way too far out on HW's elites.

I always felt the Halo Wars one had to much of a human gait.

If I understand correctly, he's saying that the Elites in Reach look like they can perform great feats of strength, like the arbiter did perform in Halo Wars. Just because one elite in Halo Wars COULD do it, doesn't mean the OP thinks they look like they can.

I do think the Reach elites were the best, by far.

(Not replying to the guy i'm quoting): The Arbiter had mandible pieces in Halo 3 like this:

And compared to halo 2 (below), I think it looks cooler.

yeah and the master chief got new handplates and less scratched armor as he did a freefall from space. seriously WTF bungie?

He's not talking about mandible pieces.

He's talking about how the Elite's jaw(s) and the related musculature look on their faces. Halo 4 puts it farther back and goes out of its way to make it bulky & alien; as opposed to the vanilla trilogy's more discrete approach that made the mandibles seamlessly blend with the skull.

Yeah, I've always hated this design decision. Halo 3's elites were perfect imo.

I hated the h3 ones. look like stupid plush toys. The H2 design is still my favorite, as they are the most sophisticated and elegant. I think H4 pulls off the most alien look too, making it my second favorite.


Then why are you using h3 styled elites in cmt lol.

Also, i like the arbiter but the shipmaster just looks wierd to me.
Edited by MEGASEAN2812 on Jul 27, 2014 at 04:08 AM

It's a H2 elite with an H3 helmet. That's not making them h3 styled.

I like the new Johnson. he looks like Apone from Aliens...

Which is exactly who he is.

On the subject of pre-rendered CGI, I love the way the new cutscenes look. They... just look beautiful. They still look classic Halo 2 though, which is excellent.

The best way to limit annoyance over pre-rendered CGI is to use exactly the same models for characters and core things, while still improving them and the surroundings visually, thereby still keeping a link.

Reach Elites, by far my favorite design, followed by H2.

Reach made them feel alien and terrifying again.

Also, am I the only one looking forward to seeing ridiculously awesome pre-rendered flood? Just think of how the gravemind sequences will look!

I loved the H2elites the best. They should model them apprence wise like H2, but size wise like reach. but keep the armor and Stuff in reach

u know I don't really see Miranda as hot in the reskin, but still you cant make them look too hot, because there is a fine line (mods excluded for obvious reasons) its... hideous... and im not a fan of half-jaw's reskin... the hat is too big, I miss the green eyes and the "im with stupid" look. tartarus looks more badass than ever in that camera shot, and cortana... what happened to the old hot cortana from halo 2? bleh, im gonna start supporting brutes though if the other brutes look as cool as tartarus

neutral with chief since it isn't a big change other than shadow improvements and shine

Excluding the scarab gun, from h2a would be a giant mistake.
