Not sure how it's supposed to fit on the box, but it looks awesome.

EDIT:

This one:

You should check that Xboxwire post There is a download for both pictures. One is the Coverart.

 

[Blobbers]

I like the blue and orange contrast. It seems to have fallen out of popularity in recent years.

 

[Jawmuncher]

That's a nice Box art.

 

[PMS341]

good AAA blue/orange graphic design, really hitting those tutorial pages this time

 

[sixteen-bit]

Now kiss

 

[daman824]

Oh shiiiiiiit AI Spartan teammates. Let's go!!!

 

[Twin Tails]

Hype Boner

 

[Servbot24]

Looks alright except that I couldn't really give a damn about Locke, which kind of throws off the emphasis.

 

[Poodlestrike]

A lot more subtle than a lot of examples; at least the entire image isn't dominated by those shades.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Looks great. Definitely happy with it.

 

[hawk2025]

Please, please don't do the obvious plot twist with this face-off, 343.

I believe in you!

 

[Lingitiz]

That key art with the teams makes me really interested in this game now. Master Chief leading Blue Team? And who's on Locke's team?

I hope what the dual protagonist/team thing means they are really overhauling the structure of these games. Halo 4's structure felt very like they were just checking the boxes and making sure they could craft a competent campaign. It's time to shake things up.

 

[Dictator93]

I still am completely not feeling this manufactured rivalry kinda stuff. His being on the cover (reverse side?) seems just as forced.

I think it is just so out of place in the halo game series and with the MC as a "character". Also.. I just don't care about that duder locke.

 

[Netprints]

Looks alright except that I couldn't really give a damn about Locke, which kind of throws off the emphasis.

Yep. Completely Agree.

 

[Philippo]

-Insert Blue/Orange AAA games covers joke here-

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Really like it. What's that machine/monster in the back?

 

[Forerunner]

 

[RdN]

Looks great!.. Can't wait to see Blue Team kick ass on screen.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Speculation is that it's Macer (from Nightfall), Buck (from ODST), and either Romeo (same) or Tanaka (from the comics), depending on whether that leftmost one turns out to be male or female.

I suppose that's one of the things they're going to be getting into going forward.

Really like it. What's that machine/monster in the back?

Nobody knows. It's probably the same thing we saw in the first E3 teaser, way the hell back when, but past that...

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Show campaign footage plzkthx

 

[rtcn63]

Spartan-shaped giant mecha?

 

[RootCause]

Hope blue chief kills the green chief. Never liked him. Awesome cover.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Chief with Blue Team means Locke is screwed.

 

[Twin Tails]

Really like it. What's that machine/monster in the back?

We don't know yet

 

[BigTnaples]

So the big forerunner bird thing from the Announcement trailer is some sort of main baddy huh?


Meh.

 

[Evilmaus]

Looks pretty dull to me. But then I'm not interested in Halo so I guess it doesn't really matter.

At the very least it's not a bad cover.

 

[CalamityPixel]

That fucking Music dfjbgsdkfbsgdklfbgk;sdbgfsdk;

God damn, the soundtrack is going to be great.

Wow...I'm not a huge fan of the ODST team but I think it's pretty cool that they'd be returning. At least Nathan Fillion would be back which is always good stuff.

 

[Flarin]

inb4 someone photoshops onto actual xbox One box.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Meh.

Not necessarily, though. Setting aside that we don't know what it is, the best guess I've seen is that it's one of the titular Guardians, something protecting Forerunner stuff. Maybe you fight it, maybe not, but it's easy to imagine it being less a main baddy and more an obstacle, or sign of something else.

 

[Ampoc]

Now kiss

/dead

 

[Ken]

What a season, what a season!

 

[TheStruggler]

Im not much into halo but what is the story of this one suppose to be, a rival spartan?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

That's nice. I like it more than the cover art that has been on websites for the past year.

 

[cardsbasebal]

I saw this on twitter, I did not make this, but it's awesome

 

[Fedelias]

I like it. A lot better than Halo 4's at least.

 

[The Lamonster]

This isn't the real box art. Hunt the truth, Guardians.


wait, I mean: Spartans.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Im not much into halo but what is the story of this one suppose to be, a rival spartan?

Not rival. The Chief (main character) is, for whatever reason, being painted as a traitor. We don't know why yet, but it seems like he might have gone AWOL. Locke, dude on the right, is tasked to hunt him down.

 

[shinobi602]

BLUE TEAM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

 

[Bornstellar]

Im not much into halo but what is the story of this one suppose to be, a rival spartan?

Post-Halo 4 chief goes rogue for unknown reasons after meeting up with his old team. Locke and his team are sent to hunt them down.

 

[FStop7]

How many Ancient Evils will be awakening?

 

[TheDarkBites]

Really nice art, but I'll be damned if I preorder it. God be with the ones who do. I'll wait a couple weeks after launch.

 

[BigTnaples]

Not necessarily, though. Setting aside that we don't know what it is, the best guess I've seen is that it's one of the titular Guardians, something protecting Forerunner stuff. Maybe you fight it, maybe not, but it's easy to imagine it being less a main baddy and more an obstacle, or sign of something else.

Indeed, I just was not a fan of it's design at all. Was hoping whatever it was was redesigned or that it was not a large factor in the game.

 

[The Lamonster]

Locke's helmet is shaped like a baby's head.

 

[brandonh83]

-Insert Blue/Orange AAA games covers joke here-

It's hard not to, to be fair. It's almost begging for it.

 

[udivision]

Doritios vs. Mountain Dew Code Blue

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

That makes my pants tighten.

 

[sflufan]

Talk about uninspired.

 

[Compsiox]

E3 here we come!!!
