Subject: did elites look as noble in halo 1 as they do with modern graphics

in halo one they were more sleak and skiny but in later games they put on some muscle but is that what they always wished them to look like but did not have the graphics in their generation to make thought become realitiy

The Elites in Halo: CEA will look exactly the same as Reach Elites. They're using the Reach Engine and graphics for Halo: CEA.

Only the multiplayer is in the Reach engine! The Campaign uses a graphics layer that saber Interactive made.

ut some models are shared, though not as significantly as ODST. It seems like a modified Halo Reach elite as least.

I hate people who don't know what they are talking about.
Halo: CEA is using the EXACT same CE engine from 2001 but with a new yet-to-be used graphic layer on top. This means the feel of the game and the stupidity of the AI is the same just looks prettier.

Though I do believe that as Halo developed their idea of its characters also developed. So back in the CE development they wanted the Elites to be skinny but that changed and evolved over time.

lol wrong they used the reach graphics for an early build to work off. Watch the the grunt funeral skull trailer, the assault rifle is totally different.

Have you even looked into Halo: CEA? Have you watched any of the pannels? videos? Gameplay? No. I thought not.

They are only using the Reach engine for multiplayer. And as for the Elites, they look really different, even more different than CE's elites. I think they look most like the halo wars elites actually. This is a little weird to me since I saw one video that had an elite with Zealot armor. If they are going to keep some of the reach elite armor permutations, then I'm not sure why they wouldn't keep all of them.

I think I might prefer if CEA used the AI of Halo: Reach.

Much much smarter imo. Yet you still have your "overpowered" spartan-II abilities (jump 10 ft int he air)...so I think it'd still be fine.

they are NOT using the reach engine!!!!!!!!!!!
CEA uses a modified combat evolve engine it runs two engines at the same time so you can switch the graphics.
The only thing using the reach engine is the multiplayer.

Are you illiterate? He was agreeing with you. In the first sentence, he basically said that any graphics carried over from Reach that we saw were placeholders to be used in the early previews, and nothing else. The next sentence, he says that as they went by, they began to replace the placeholder graphics with models more pertinent to Halo: CE, hence "the assault rifle is totally different", meaning different from the early placeholders. It is, too, it looks exactly like the MA5B from Halo CE, as opposed to the placeholder models used earlier. I don't see how it was possible to misinterpret his post, but you did it.

I actually think SPARTAN-IIs are UNDERPOWERED in the games. Their jump, run, and melee abilities are superior in the novels.

But hey, it's a video game.
