Don't quit your day job.

[Edit] Unless your day job as you using Photoshop.

Hey, if you guys would rather provide a quality version of the same scene where Mr Skullface has ditched his teenage emo-phase helmet for something more professional... would be happy to retire my skillz!

Spoiler

In all seriousness though I understand the need for differentiated character design, but he is pretty ridiculous. Said it before: you'd expect it from something brain-dead like Army of Two, not Halo.

 

[The Lamonster]

His helmet looks cool with the skull! U didn't fix it!

I'm with you Sir Frag. It's an obvious CoD4 ripoff...

He has a skull too. And he's badass

You're a ripoff =(

It was pretty subdued in comparison, and even then it was silly.

The art looks beautiful apart from Kat's design. Why does she look so blatantly feminised for a Spartan? In The Baby Sitter the audience had no idea the Spartan was a woman until she took her helmet off, which in my opinion, and how the fiction has previously described it is the correct way to portray a female Spartan. So to have Kat with her exaggerated gangly body clutching at the fallic pistol with both hands just looks ridiculous in my eyes.

Everything else looks gorgeous and of course that was only a minor gripe. Jorge could potentially be the coolest character in the entire Halo universe.

oh my god :lol :lol

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Ah, that's better.

http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/01/08/news-February-Cover-Revealed.aspx

Ah, silly GI, the finished version is much better.
Looking at the schedule:
January 8th - The cover we just got
January 12th
January 14th
January 18th
January 20th
January 22nd
January 25th
January 26th
January 27th
January 28th
January 29th
So they're going to be rolling stuff out constantly.

Grizzled are dominating in the Pentathlon seemingly.

 

[Walshicus]

Got to disagree with Arnie. I think Kat's design is pretty well realised. I liked how Bungie have toed near-immaculately the line between her being excessively feminised and unrealisticly butch.

Natal hand gesture incoming.

More like failic pistol.

But that won't come for whatever reason.

It's because we're mean.

Totally agree.

 

[Arnie]

Each to their own, I personally don't know why she has to look completely different to every other Spartan, just because she's a woman. It's is an over-feminised character model, the same way you think Skully is over the top.

Still doesn't negate the fact Jorge is the shit.

 

[Kibbles]

Green and very, very mean.

 

[Walshicus]

Of course he is. He's an Englishman.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

That GI cover looks sexy. I have a subby to GI so I hope to get my issue asap.

Oh and Jason Jones is alive? wtf.

Edit: wat http://twitter.com/GI_AndyMc/status/7533473456

Probably something real little and expected. Like text saying "All new Class based Multiplayer!". Thats my guess.

 

[Metroidvania]

Hmm...Kat does look a bit thinner than she did in the reveal trailer, IIRC.

Granted, it's a different perspective, but to me, the difference seems a bit skewed.

 

[big ander]

I thought I was a GI subscriber, but I didn't even when realize my subscription ran out over the summer.
Wonder if I can extend it and get the issue right away...

 

[Thermite]

Yeah but they did a little bit of paint-dropping.

Nope, no one did this before MW2. Well this guy.

... along with a little Halo Reach goodies, it's like nerdtopia in Jan 2010! Great start to the year!


EDIT: ...and I haven't cared for the skull on the helmet since they showed it at the Priemere, but it's a artistic choice I can live with.

Just like Dare and Mickey, he has his name written on his forehead. Clearly, he's Unsc (Oonsk).
