I can understand the Sepratist movement within the Sangheili forces, and I think that's what shows in the design aesthetic for the Squidlies and the Grunts.
That said, I also think that it (the design) borrows too much from GoW and Resistance, (and I'm not hating, guys, I love Gears and enjoyed Resistance) so I'm thrown off by the way they look.
Maybe the Minor Domo is sporting some sort of scout harness and helmet, but if they will be present on board the Dawn, where is the standard vacuum suit that they normally wear underneath? Grunts should be able to withstand vacuum exposure due to their crustacean geneology, so I can understand the half-naked bare-bottomed Flip-Yap appearance.
I remember reading that the carbine makes a return, but it appears blue in the image. It looks nice, but it just seems better as standard Covenant Purple. The return of the MA5C made me feel good, because it as a staple weapon in the Halo series is always a nice reprieve to fall back on visually. Not really a fan of the GL-Magnum combo. The new BR looks like something out of Crisis, all things considered, but I can live with the neo-mechanical feel it gives off.
I could say more... But I'd like to see more POV's from the Community first.
Your turn, guys!
