The vehicles in this remake are all ported from Reach, the marines use UNSC Army models, Captain Keyes' face is strange, Cortana has the same look from Halo 3, Johnson looks....fat, the scorpion looks retarded because they just ripped the turret off and left the hole there (again the same as reach). Oh and one other issue not exactly having to do with this....Where in the name of Chief is Keyes' pipe!?!?

Other than these issues this game looks great and I can't wait to play! Just wish they would have delayed its release until they could come up with some legit character and vehicle models. And from the sound of things 343 studios just sat there in there studio watching as Sabre Interactive designed this remake lol. I don't know about you guys but I don't want to be reminded of Halo Reach when I play this game. I wan't it to feel like something new again, like Halo in it's prime.

I thought all the weird design things were only placeholders until they released the final game, were are you hearing this? I'm pretty sure 343 is more responsible than that.

Ah, this was released 8 days ago. The game has shipped long before that

CEA pros:

-new Hunter look
-H3 Flood with better animations
-Keyes looks great in every appearance he makes
-cutscenes have better animations
-Jackal majors have orange shields again
-more player affecting skulls
-AR looks neat
-levels look better
-graphic explosions are better than Reach
-help tips are well placed and they don't hijack the screen or anything (the pop up for getting in the Scorpion or Banshee on Easy might still be unchanged though)

CEA cons:

-Reach/H3 hybrid Grunts
-Reach/H3 hybrid Elites (not a big deal since they have CE animations but Elites have 5 ranks in CE. Now it's down to 4 because Spec Ops Elites might share the same armor as Stealth Elites :( )
-Reach Zealots (just a recolor :( same thing with Elite Major)
-no varying armor colors/distinctions (this was in H3. Also, in CE, Elites had 2 helmets. Grunts had 2 methane tanks. Jackals had 2 heads. And Hunters had 2 armor colors (lighter and darker blue))
-Reach vehicles
-no invisible sword for Stealth Elites
-no Thunderstorm skull
-no Theatre
