I wish I was still legendary.

i honestly think that the elites look fine as it is ..... it would look pretty stupid if they were hunched in most of the games then all of a sudden they stand straight. brutes look fine as it is it would look really dumb if they looked like a primitive species for one they come from an alliance of races and they were supplied with technology from the prophets and elites. they wouldn't have leather straps then the game would feel like fighting super mutants off fallout 3. the prophets are supposed to look old and wise.....(really they must be dumb)they do not need to look more sinister then it would have more a fantasy feel to it. for example does master chief need to look more buff, does cortana need to have like a thousand more numbers going across her?? no most of what you said would take much longer than a year anyways so it will most likely not be put in anyways. bring something like this to bethesda for one of their games bungie has done a great job on their game and their creatures they have made a great sci-fi genre (note the SCIENCE not the leather straps)i get absorbed into every one of the games and i feel as if i am there. and also there elites standing up more straight .... would it be an alien races fault if they cant stand up straight... seriously
I'm gonna clear a few things up with you:
Elites have only hunched since they were made into playable characters, and it's gotten worse over time to the point where 8-foot tall warriors are 7-foot tall smily lizards. How they were in Halo one and Halo Wars is how they're meant to be.
Brutes ARE primitive. We're talking about space apes that worked their way up to space travel, got into a civil war that pulled them back down to being hunter-gatherers, dragged themselves back up to spacefaring and learned NOTHING from the experience.
Go look at the Brutes in halo 2. Their armour is period accurate for Halo one, since they have the same commander - and the have leather straps holding bits together (shoulderpads and ammo belts). If they had different ranks like in halo 3 it would work. By leather straps I mean as in strips of leather used to hold their armour on. You can disagree if you want to, but think about it - it they're wearing partial armour rather than a full battlesuit, what else would be holding it onto the Brute?
Prophets are evil. To make them look more sinister all that's needed is better lighting, like Truth in the H3ODST legendary ending. They wouldn't give off a fantasy vibe - I don't know WHAT you're smoking to think that making a character more sinister and evil-looking gives off a fantasy vibe. giving them steampunk chairs and plasma wands would be a fantasy vibe.
Chief doesn't need to be more buff, but has gotten more powerful as the games went on. Cortana doesn't need more numbers going across her (well technically, she does if she's thinking), but she gains more in each game anyway because the artistic style evolves. That's what this is about, suggesting ways to evolve the artistic style into something grittier, something that didn't look like fighting a bunch of TOYS.
Oh, and it takes much, MUCH less than a year to create and rig character models for a game. I've built character models before and rigged them, and it takes me about a week to build them.
