Re: I have to hand it to 343 Industries

In Response To: I have to hand it to 343 Industries (Avateur)


: They did a really good job at making Spartans as terrible looking as they
: possibly could. I mean, if I can't have anything else, the E3 campaign
: demo they showed made Master Chief look fairly cool. Can I just have a
: Master Chief (as seen in that demo, hopefully not hideous later down the
: line) wherever I go in H4? Spartan Ops. Multiplayer. Campaign. Because
: that stuff is damn ugly. Ew. Gonna have to give up my Recon after this,
: can't have that ugly nonsense tarnishing that sweet Spartan Ops.

The new designs are a little too cluttered, derivative and sophomoric when compared to the returning ones. The Warrior helmet is part welding helmet, part ninja mask. The Soldier helmet is clearly inspired by the masks worn by Samurai. And, well, I already elaborated on the obvious parallels that the other helms had with existing artifacts of pop culture. It's like the UNSC started taking suggestions from high-schoolers doodling on lined paper.

I can imagine the thought process that went into the creation of each one.

Every morning, a concept artist would blurt out "Wouldn't it be cool if-..."

No, it wouldn't be cool if. Crumple up that sketch and start over.
