Suuuree but we all know that and the point of the post isn't "Why do enemies look different every game?", that's been answered 1000 times before. Plus the whole phenotype thing is a meaningless piece of lore purely fabricated to explain away art style changes just like the nanobots thing from Chief's armor in Halo 4. It's not something art style choices are based on, it exists specifically to allow the developers to ignore previous stylistic choices and have the freedom to make their character models to look however they want them to. The only time that lore has been genuinely relevant is in the differences between Reach's Jackals & Skirmishers.Grimmulv369 wrote:Because of practicality.
Because Halo 2 brutes were possibly of a different phenotype, sub species of Jiralhanae. They seemed more savage, didnt give a flying fang if they went all fur with some armored bits and pieces alongside a bandolier.
Halo 3 Brutes, I guess were another phenotype, more likely a jiralhanae subspecies. Think humans and neandethal differences here.
Halo Reach brutes might be the same as Halo Wars 2 and Infinites, still they hadd awesome tattos on their faces, especially on even lower ranking brutes.
HW 2 and Infinite, try to get across that only high ranking brutes, like chieftains are "allowed" to have facial hair and tattos as part of a ranking system.
Kinda makes sense.
The same thing can be explained regarding the differences between the other races species etc. Grunts, elites, jackals. I see all the different looks as canon/ lore but have reasons behind them why only those types of species appear here and there in game. Would be awesome to see for example HW2/ Infinite brutes command the more savage H2A/ 3 brutes or say the more aquatic, less armored sangheili elites come to terms with the classic looking elites from H2A, 3, HW2. The much more agile and seemingly intelligent, but eye color lacking elites from Reach could either be simply explained due to overall change in art style OR a rarer breed of Sangheili.

Please can we stop with the lore excuses for poor game design. It is getting really tiring at this point.Grimmulv369 wrote:Because of practicality.

Here’s what I was hoping as well. Was never really a fan of the Reach brute models. They look like shrek. I would like to see different kinds of brutes in Infinite. I think I seen different grunt models during the gameplay so here’s to hoping the same applies to the brutes. I miss the furry bullet sponges tbh.Vilhelmus II wrote:They were bald in Halo Reach, and bald in Halo 3, outside of a goatee, and sometimes a mohawk.
But, I do think they should give them beards at the very least, or some hair as well. Maybe have a few different models for facial hair and what not.
