Joke about future space military gear with a helmet and orange visor being a halo ripoff.
I also said it was a joke twice so not sure why I'm explaining it a third time.

Infinite Warfare borrow designs from Halo?

This thread is fecking hilarious all things considered
Which were already shown to be BS. Passing similarity to a "trope" dating back decades, and a screen from a PREVIOUS CoD and NOT IW.

Guy posts on page 6 of the thread ripping on people for not agreeing with OP without realizing that the OP was misinformed.
Reposting for new page (since it was posted at the end) at least for those who are using 50 posts. Sorry for those using 100.
So going through some videos of the Merc RIG I did find this:
So the Excavation helmet is the one in the OP. (It should be noted that Green Screen and Bolster are also similar but different color scheme/pattern) However, if you go slightly back in the video...
The body however, is called Trojan, so the body and helmet are not part of the same set.
This is the helmet that goes with the body.
You have to mix and match to make the Jorge-like design. It's not a 'set' in the game.
Well I still found it funny and I never said I had read past page 1 so yeah.

They're not trying to sell this at a convention, dude. It's just a dumb thing.

Apparently because its from Black Ops 3 instead of Infinite Warfare? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Seems to be a blatant copy.

It's the same exact smoke. Literally copy and pasted. I don't see what your post has to do with that. Not to mention the whole scene??

How about those other pictures he posted that are pure blatant rip offs?
I played the multiplayer yesterday, it's absolute dog shit and so is the menu design in that beta. Doesn't give me much faith.

If this is true then it's pretty shameful that people are trying to sweep it under the rug for whatever reason.
Even if you thought that it was a non issue at first this changes things and it's ok to change your stance on the issue people.
This is a company that makes 100's of millions on this franchise easily. If anyone could afford to hire competent artists to come up with something original and not steal art assets and such it would be them.
Remember guys, we freaking fund this behavior when we buy their games. If you are a fan then you should be throwing flack their way so that in the future you get better stuff because they have to raise the bar. If anyone can afford to raise the bar it's the people who own COD.

Can I ask why you care so much?
It's one tiny piece of artwork for a calling card in a game with an absolute sea of calling cards. Does this one asset with a partially stolen background invalidate the fuckloads of money Treyarch/Activision put into making the rest of Black Ops 3's content? You know, the important stuff, like the weapon models, character models, map geometry, textures, sound effects, etc.?
I cannot get over how fucking insignificant this is, and I am baffled by how much people care. Do you think Activision is going to start carbon copying other developers' games in the future because "we freaking funded it" by buying a game with one picture that copied some background smoke for a cute Halo: Reach-themed calling card?
What the fuck?

It's the same series but games made from different developers. For example Black Ops 3 made by Treyarch, Infinite Warfare made by Infinity Ward. This thread is supposed to be about Infinite Warfare, yet there is evidence of another game copying something, which has absolutely nothing to do with Infinite Warfare, therefore it is misleading to use it as evidence in this case.

The artwork is clearly a nod to Halo, and that's probably a stock image.

I guess CoD devs got sick of 343 copying their gameplay so they started copying Halos art.
dude.. srsly..
we all know it looks like Halo.
that is the point.
and so the smake is the same. so what?
it is supposed to be a copy.
