youve made your opinion on other people's opinions very apparent many times too. why do you continue trying to get people to stop sharing their opinions just because you disagree with them? is it not ok that they have different beliefs in what good design is?

i mean, i could turn this argument around to support you going after people for expressing themselves, but what the fuck, lets be reasonable here. youre adding unnecessary drama to the situation. thats really the point im trying to make here.

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."

....yeah actually, thats fair enough. i kinda 'ed at that too.

[rossmum]

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.

[rossmum]

inflammatory posting best posting

that artstyle really, truly is bad though

[Warsaw]

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.

[rossmum]

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.
