You're confusing austerity for blandness. The original Forerunner stuff gave the sense of a sophisticated ancient race. The new stuff might as well be justified in the fiction as the product of a mindless mechanical nanovirus or whatever. It's too cluttered. Quite frankly it's tacky.
You nailed it.
Forerunner art style has been fairly ruined. I know you don't get that, but I agree with Monocle.
Part of arena, 8v8, equal starts, etc., but it will come after launch.
You're right, some of the Spartan Ops environments are beautiful. The middle one is especially nice. I wish 343 had used that style of architecture consistently.In 343's defense, some of the Spops spaces were solid.
Yes, yes, yes.The trick is to make the contrast on the metallic surface flat and subtle, while lights are used to create interest. But 343 tends to make them shiny and overpopulated with lights and textures to make them seem "alive". However, it ultimately ends up cluttered, noisy and distracting. It's especially problematic in gameplay because we interpret it as a multi-angled surface, which makes it difficult to predict how a grenade might bounce.
Compared to Halo 3's Guardian, where everything looks flat despite having a fair amount of details.
Don't have a link for you, but Frankie confirmed it's part of Arena in the
Or it shows that they're making tough decisions like delaying BTB so they can give the launch content the attention it deserves.
Lol, tacky.
no new footage of the new Warzone maps?
Tacky as hell. (I don't mean your example specifically.) Visual interest does not have to mean wild clumps of junk encrusted with detail and lit up like a cheesy laser show.Lol, tacky.
As Poodle called it "Tronrunner" is far more visually interesting than the concrete slabs of Forerunner yore.
Bungie forerunner is bland, there's far too much grey. 343's use of coloured lighting to mix up the colour scheme is gorgeous.
I think we're just gunna have to agree to disagree here.
Yeah, probably.
