In Response To: Re: How so? (Archilen) : I was never particularly a fan of the Mark VI either, even though it far : surpasses the current H4 armor design. I always thought it looked more : like a generic super soldier armor suit than the more unique, angular : tank-like design from Halo 1. Nevertheless, it's become the most : recognizable and iconic of all the armor designs and I would've preferred : to see it in H4. : Sadly, the CEA design keeps the massive diaper. I'm still wondering why they
I suppose that they wanted something that would fit in the original model's hit boxes but I don't know. : Exactly. I think they should've stuck with the X-shaped chest design for the

I thought of another point. If hey make the look too visually cluttered then they discourage fan art. Whatever they come up with has to have simple, distinctive lines. It needs to be drawable by not-great artists and it needs to look great when drawn by the great artists. Adding lots of fiddly bits just makes the shape a mess. Forget that you have a billion more polygons to play with or, at least, don't use them to add silly unnecessary detailing, use them to improve the fidelity of the basic shape. I think that the biggest part of having an iconic design is having a simple design - one that looks good from all angles and one that can be recognized from any distance and can be reproduced in any medium. 343i should concentrate on that first and foremost. -PS I think that 343i sees the Halo Wars cutscene design as the definitive Spartan design. I think that they want to get as close to that as possible given their game engine's limitations.
