In Response To: Shield and Sword - The Broken Chord *long as hell* (Leviathan)


: Master Chief turns and ducks as a Forerunner Proto-Warrior lances out with a
: spear of light, distorting the projections as it slices through them
: before they shut off completely. Their blue light gone, the room is again
: black and red.

: The Forerunner Proto-Warriors look like living Sentinels. Their arms form
: into projectile weapons and hard-light lances for close-proximity melees.
: They are fast, smart, and accurate. They are the heart and soul of Shield
: And Sword’s gameplay. They are the Elites of Halo CE.

: --- This design is based heavily on one of Bungie's unused concepts . ---

Your concept of the proto-warrior reminds me of the federation marines from Metroid prime (I think I may have mentioned this somewhere else online). Seeing as how the series has evolved since then, in retrospect they do resemble what someone might consider a forerunner something. The light grey hues accented by pulsing blue are very forerunner. Though back then, I never would have made that observation while playing Metroid Prime because the Forerunners weren't (and sort of still aren't) really thought out and visualized (yet).

I'd have to try to sync the game development time lines on Bungie's concept image and the time that MP2 was released but I would be willing to bet there was some inspiration there. I really do like seeing studios bouncing ideas off each other- one concept gets scrapped here and is reborn and expanded somewhere else.

Your work makes me excited to play the next Halo. Ever since Retro-Studios stopped producing Metroid I have not felt the same way about that franchise, unfortunately.

Great work Levi!

Anywho, comparison image for those that care
