no (would definitely piss off fans)
no (even CEA had the color right)
maybe (it'd be cool to see their faces)
No! (one does not defile the Zealot with retcon or by taking away it's purity)
ok
?
ok
No (might piss off fans)
Nnnoooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I'd prefer just having updated graphics, even if 343 got the colors right. Reach models weren't a perfect fit which is why the facial appearances of Keyes and Johnson in the newer graphics are substandard. Also, Elites have lost their luster, their shininess. Hunters have lost their bluish distinction and are just dull. Grunts are hideous. H3 Flood can't be taken seriously. I think the only biped change I welcome are the marines and Jackals.

CEA managed to update several things without reusing assets. These 4 come to mind: Master Chief, Shade turret, unarmored marine, Bumblebee

It's very disappointing. H2A should be better.

OP, how can the Arbiter have Reach style armour if the armour never appeared in Halo: Reach?

It happened in halo anniversary, so why not? They could also make a whole new design.

How do you know the Arbiter easter egg in Silent Cartographer level select was Reach styled? It could have been H3 Arbiter copy and pasted.

343 simply updating Arbiter would be so much better than 343 trying to sabotage a classic like they did with CEA, throwing in skulls that ruined SLASO and broke classic gameplay.

What else could you be referring to?

The H2 Threshold terminal?

Halo multiplayer sucks!

I disagree

If you ask me, minors, majors, ultras (including shipmaster), stealths, spec ops and zealots should all have minor armour from Reach, but different colors. It should have been this way in CEA as well. Rangers should have Halo 3 assault harnesses which they obviously inspired. Honor guards and councilors should look the same.

Other things I would like

Reach jackals
Halo 3 brutes with power armour
Halo 3 hunters
Halo 2 grunts
I'd prefer if they just removed drones entirely, but since that won't happen I think they should have Reach models.

All this in an updated graphics engine of course.

At first I was thinking this was heresy but on second thought, this sounds like a good idea. Zealots wouldn't have been so disgraced.

As we've seen from CEA Flood, H3's models combined with an aggressive AI works really well. I don't see why not, though it'd be a major canon disruption. On the other hand, Tartarus' Brutes are pretty high ranked aren't they?

Halo 2 grunts

Well Ghost, I guess this is the first time we've agreed 100%
