^LOL.
Frankie has half of his mind in the right place for the series. Then his other half is with Microsoft.

I don't know about anybody else, but I love the look of those Jackals, they definitely look scary.
They look more like jackals anyways (the Earth animal, for those of you wondering) and they are menacing. I just don't like how they changed so suddenly. They don't even look similar to the Jackals in past games, which is what bothers me most of all. Either way, artistic freedom, so whatever.
<insert pizza place name here>: "Uhhhh, who ordered the large clusterfuck of game designers, with extra cheesed artists?"
Microsoft: "ME! ME!"
"You want godzilla with that?"
MS: "Yes. But hold the codpiece please."
I had a similar reaction when I first saw the new Grunts, but after thinking about it for a while I realized that I'm happy with the fact that they're adding their own spin on things rather than just taking Bungie's design and updating it. I mean, we have a new studio making Halo now, let's see their vision of how everything should look. To be honest, while Bungie's designs are amazing, they did start to get stale after 10 years of being pretty much the same. Having a brand new look to everything makes things fresh and new again!
Yeah my first reaction was "oh god wtf", but honestly I'll wait until the game comes out to judge anything. I agree with Hotrod, it might be cool to get a totally fresh spin on things. I view the new trilogy as its own thing, so if they want to make it totally different and call it Halo, as long as it's good I suppose I'll still enjoy it.
343i's fucking up big time. Come on. You can't look at that jackal and then expect the rest of the game to be unharmed.
Or maybe they are creating a different art style, ever think of that? Maybe, just maybe, its possible for them to make a game differently from the way Bungie did it, instead of copying the same shit over again. Come on man, you have to think a little more than that...
Japan is gonna be pissed when they get their hands on this game.
