Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either, mainly cause she used to be long and thin. Now she looks bloated, swollen. I'm not buying the whole "trying too look more human" thing either. First of all, since when has she been described as looking, well not human, isn't that just a graphical barrier? And secondly, if she's struggling with rampancy or whatever, wouldn't she have to focus on that, instead of giving everything she's able to get her hands on, a makeover?
Yes she's gone though some chance throughout the games, but she's never changed this drastically. She's like a different woman now.
Just for the fun of it, I showed my classmates a picture of her from 3, and one from 4. Most of them didn't think they were the same person, even though I explained that she had gone through a redesign. So if people who aren't already interested in Halo don't like her new appearance...
I've always thought her design was good. I wouldn't even mind if she looked just like in CE but with improved graphics, throughout the entire series. If you have to change something now and than, mix around with her hair and patterns, or what she hologrpahically can do. Stay the -blam!- away from her geometry (design wise).
At the moment she looks ridiculous.

Don't forget she also doesn't show her holographic body 90% of the time. Her voice and character define cortana, not her looks.
Haven't they added a HUD element where people/things Chief talks to are shown?
