It's not the fact that it looks different. It's the fact that it looks cartoony and stupid. It doesn't look aggressive or scary. As Korn said, it looks like a goddamn plushie of Godzilla.

While I do respect your opinion, as you are completely entitled to it, I must point out the fact that not everybody thinks it looks stupid and cartoony, and many of those people think it looks aggressive and scary.

Let's add scales and horns to the humans.
That would totally make things fresh, oh wait that would change the characteristics of the species.

To put in my two cents, at first the new designs for the Covenant species seemed out of place, but then they started to grow on me. I thought the designs in Reach represented each of the species' general look relatively well, but there's only so much detail you can add. I think the redesigns look fine (although those Grunts, lol), but it's nothing to really fret about and say "343i is ruining Halo". Halo is different for everybody. But everybody is entitled to an opinion.

This guy has some good cam footage of Halo 4 stuff shown/played at Comic Con:


(Same mission as above, new gameplay though)


You can look around at the related stuff and such to find more gameplay videos and commentaries.

Since everyone keeps reiterating the same nonsense "everybody is entitled to an opinion", let me spew mine. 343i is ruining Halo. It's one thing to rework gameplay, it's another fucking thing to rape the story/universe *cough*Bear*cough and change the look and feel. It's not Halo. It's a Halo mod. Meet the world's largest Halo modding team: 343i. Halo 4: Modding Evolved ('cause we have the tools! No Halo PC for you!).

And you guys thought CMT was bad for not releasing the tags, pfft.

e: Let the record show that I didn't say I wouldn't get Halo 4. I am. I've downloaded and played many Halo mods before. This won't be any different. Well, besides that the mod isn't on a fucking PC where it should be.

We'll see in regards to the storyline whether or not Greg Bear's contaminating bullshit has ruined it. For all we know, they're only going to only use some elements (like Mendicant Bias, the Didact, etc.) from the novels and terminals in the game to tie the games with the "new" books. Of course, the game hasn't been released yet, so for all we know the storyline could be very cohesive and intriguing.

Gameplay still looks solid though. Loving those environments. Those assassinations, especially the Flag Assassination, look awesome. Spartan Ops is looking more promising every video I watch.

Yeah, can't find too much to complain about for Halo4's gameplay from the videos they've released.

Fair enough. You're right in one regard. It is scary to look at the new jackals because of the butchery that 343i did to them.

I have no quarrel with the gameplay either, but the visual styling of the characters just turns me off it.

I mean, how did we go from this agressive, strong, and majestic looking elite:



to this hunched back reject from Hell?:
