Reach did gritty and I get it it was about a planet being destroyed and lots of people died and it carried a more depressing tone in its theme. Whys this Halo 4 gotta be gritty and darker though? We don't really know whats going to happen but I assume it'll end on a decently positive note. In that case shouldn't we have solid/straight lined non gritty medals like H2+3? Whats the reason for this darker feeling you want?

It's not a bad one either... I liked the addition of "Legendary" medals in Reach. I made a personal goal of getting all of them, but that Unfrigginbelievable was just out of Reach (lol).

I'm not going to speak for Devo but i personally want them grittier than they currently are, Not saying i want razor blades and tombstones on the emblems but they are currently really happy looking and a more serious look would go a long way for me.

OH SWEET MOTHER THOSE TEXTURES
But yeah, they're old. At least he didn't promise us BRAND NEW LEAKS like that other guy.
You're going to be a valuable member for HaloGAF, delivering these hot scoops. Keep it up!
I'd hardly call them old
On the internet, when someone posts something identical to something that was posted even one minute ago, it's old.
No exceptions.

Scrapped? Nah.. Just reskin the Reach GL into a Forerunner-themed weapon and boom!
My proposal for the Sticky Detonator:
If no 'Nade Launcher returns
----Acts like it does now and the mini screen is put to use
-Press R-Trigger for Proximity Mine
----Leave it armed in your secondary slot (Halo 3 Trip Mine/Goldeneye Promixity Mines)
As we've seen, the Sticky Detonator seems like it's going to be another fluff weapon because the reason you'd want to use it is almost negated by the flashing lights and beeping noises it makes, not to mention it doesn't look too powerful.
I prefer Halo 3's medal art design over Reach/gritty medals any day. Halo 4's medals are way too cotton candy for me.. Halo 3 had great colors/vibrancy while some of Reach's medals were too dull for my taste.

Yo Halo lore nerds, I just had this crazy idea about Requiem. Crytum and Primordium spoilers ahead.
So Requiem is essentially a shell around a world, correct? We learned that the firing of a Halo destroys Precursor structures and tech. What if Requiem was built around a Precursor world to protect it from the Halo effect? Just an idea I had. Would be awesome to explore Precursor architecture.
heh, don't even recognize that guy. was he just picking random people or was there a reason?
You can watch them still on twitch.tv and Cyren said, that he's going to upload some VoD's.

You can find out if your theory is right:
If the Chief is within the Dyson sphere, where does the light come from? And then if you find out the source of the light, is there still some place for your theory?
We are assuming that Requiem is a Dyson sphere.

Mine was a question because I had not seen in the topic ;D
so freaking cocky, i was pissed at him last olympics cause he could of destroyed the world record by even more time if he didn't let up.
I like how he goes in an alphabetical order and then just gives up.
Thank you.

i dont think we know if requieum is a actual world inside the planet, or the planet the forward unto dawn goes to is a portal to the actual place. but your second point could be possible, which would be really awesome.
also, aren't sandtrap and sandbox precursor ruins? the forerunner guard towers protecting the precursor tech. maybe i'm wrong.
*crazy conspiracy theory time*
maybe, sandtrap and sandbox are on requiem, the aegis fate is one of infinities frigates. since brutes set up those mines around sandtrap maybe brutes are in halo 4. also, elephants are on sandtrap, those giant vehicles in halo 4 are elephants. zomg, master chief visits sandtrap in halo 4. i have unlocked the code

They've been pretty gritty each game. The ones posted look like Viva Pinata shit.

off-topic: GAF, I have found that RE: ORC is f*cking annoying... One Big problem is when your teammate(s) are down you must simply press and hold the "A" button until the meter is full in order for them to be revived. Well, now my teammate has fallen and a weapon happens to be right next to him... I can only pick-up the damn weapon and not my teammate!! FUKNDAMNITY?!?! /endrant.
Andy Xiao was one the artist who made the medals. To me what was interesting is he seems to have started in a 3d program rather than Illustrator or PS. Is that common in graphic design? I think they may have wanted to do something 3d with them that may have ended up getting cut.

Not to toot my own work, but I'm doing this because I think Fuchsdh forgot to. NMPD HQ for Hindsight: ODST has been up since August 1st.
I hope you all enjoy.

He went all out at the world championship in '09. So you should be satisfied.

Usually it's sketches -> 2d -> 3d. You can cut out some time going from sketch to 3d but if the 2d stuff is adequate someone else can render it.
Also I miss Squad Slayer for its non-I live 24 hours on halo MLG-ness but still competitive.
Isn't a lot of your work made and submitted as vector format?
I don't really see the point of using 3d when you are just going to end up with something in 2d.

I don't know how it works with games but yeah in mobile and web stuff it's going to be 2d usually, unless you're doing a motion piece where you want 3d effects.

Though I agree with the new ones not looking too good, here are the past medals we've seen before:
Halo 3 - Too bright, less detailed now that I look at it again
Reach (Beta) - Too dark/gritty
Reach (Final) - That detail with less grit/rust (on some medals) and that's what I choose
Hmmm. I am trying to decide whether it's worth diving in and learning Illustrator, so this is interesting.

For graphic design illustrator is pretty much a must. Photoshop you have to design at the largest possible size, takes up file space. Not to mention typography work in photoshop is awful.

Id agree with this, Illustrator is a really valuable tool.

I don't understand the concept of just one kill.
Ah, what action is it actually for?
EDIT: You sure about that? It's not on the campaign medals stats page on Bnet.

I have pretty much done all of my work that doesn't use footage or images in illustrator. There's no point to limiting yourself to pixels unless you have to or want to use specific effects.
