At first, I was totally with you. I thought his entire model looked.. off.

But actually, after comparing it to the original Mark V seen in Halo: CE, it's actually pretty accurate, and as AndyDaRoo said, nostalgic in it's simplicity.


Yeah, but the visor doesn't contain the same level of graphical improvement as the rest of the suit. After seeing the lighting effects in the newer games, here's an image of what we get now:

See what I mean?



well, thats from the alpha build, so it would look bad...

I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart."

Yeah i agree with the O.P.

The MK.V in Halo 3 was closer to the CE MK.V in my opinion.

The CEA one looks too fat or something.

my gt is Godzillla....i just didnt link it properly

i asked the same question at 343 and they said it was a placeholder and frank confirmed it was a placeholder in one of the panel discussions

I think it has to do with the fact that they use that switch to old graphics option. so maybe the lighting on his visor just takes both graphic ways in consideration?

These are just my thaughts though it could be something completely else

Keep in mind the helmet design can change last minute.

It looks fine to me though.

Just a placeholder model they've probably changed it by now

I heard that it was just a place-holder. The Reach AR and Pistol were also present in the first CEA demo, but we now know they've been replaced by a unique model that closely resembles the AR and Pistol from CE. The same is hopefully the case for the other assets, such as character models.
