It should maintain it's visual style (bright, plentiful colors), but become more severe in content. Like this.

THIS! Halo's best feature graphics wise has always been its style, its rich usage of color. Modern Warfares are good graphically but they lack... i don't know, they're not striking. They look bland, plain, uninspired. GoW's the same, as are many other games. Halos have allways been colorful, while having somewhat dark theme.
Keep the amazing style as seen in other Halos, but make the content a bit more darker. I don't think swearing is good, personally i don't like it and i don't think it would fit to Halo where its sparse already. Where appropiate, swearing's fine, but overuse is bad, as many games tend to do.
Blood and gore... let's say that dismembermet probably ain't good for Halo (expect specific case, like the energy sword, but don't over do it (ever tried set_saberrealisticcombat 1 in Jedi Outcast?)) but the Covenant should be more brutal and UNSC could be shown as clearly hopeless situation, a lot of wounded (like in the pic), that sort stuff. Changing the game to be like GoW is no-no.But little things can change the tone game a lot.
