I have no idea if this has been brought up before. I think that one thing that people can agree with is that Elites need to be much more intimidating than they were in Halo 2 & 3. I honestly can't take them seriously. An Elite in multiplayer actually sent me laughing in tears once because of the Death Cry one of them made when it got Sniped in the face.
But enough of that, the bottom line is: Elites need to be more intimidating. These are supposed to be the most badass antagonists in the Haloverse.
So I basically did a Google Images Search for Halo Wars Arbiter Concept Art, and eventually found this picture from this blog (They also did concept art for a Covenant Destroyer here).
Holy. Freaking. Crap.
I mean seriously, talk about complete opposites to the designs that Bungie use. Could you imagine that guy charging you with an Energy Sword or something? That whole suit of armour has badass written all over it.
Seriously. A lot of people question Halo Wars because of its gameplay, but if there's one thing that Ensemble succeeded in, it's getting the Elites to look like fierce warriors. I'd love it if Bungie took some of this on board for Halo Reach, and maybe integrate aspects of this armour in to the designs for Elites in Reach.
