I have no problem with him sharing his opinion on the design, but he felt it was necessary to challenge me because I don't agree that the artists should "lose their jobs, fast."Quote:

oh how terrible of me, i made a really flippant post, i'm sure none of you guys ever do that!
in any case, i do find myself questioning why again and again, sci-fi franchises have their art direction shit up by the same completely illogical, unoriginal, greebly bullshit.
Bobble, you also have to remember that this is rossmum's style of posting. He has always posted this way. He will always post this way. You kind of have to read between the lines.
:woop:
inflammatory posting best posting
that artstyle really, truly is bad though
Some of the silhouettes are good, they just went overboard on useless intricacies. The new BR remains a prime example. The Pistol is pretty good though. Incidentally, it's nearly identical to the one in Reach, so I'm not sure I can give credit there.
the new br's silhouette isn't good, it looks like it belongs in unreal. or mass effect. or anywhere else that isn't halo.
I'm honestly okay with the art style if you don't go comparing it to other art styles. It does a have a good bit of Crysis and Metroid Prime influence in them, but many of the artists working for 343i are from those franchises. All I know is that 343i has a very high diversity in artists in terms of where they came from.
Who knows, we might see Spartans with a pair of Bose speakers on their chests.
To me it all looks very lazy. Look at the Halo Reach DMR vs the Halo 4 DMR:
Bungie:
343i:
Just looks undetailed, unloved. Looks boring.
