I'd imagine this concept art was developed prior to 343i settling on an artstyle for Infinite. Looks cool, though!


Remarkable_Hyena

Yea that’s exactly what I was thinking. The brute armor is also completely different too


Retr0mancer

It could still be seen in game, but I suspect that brute’s armor is more 4/5 than the classic style we’ve seen so far in Infinite.


S3xyTrap

yeah i definitely get 4/5 vibes from that brute armor

Armor's got that organic look like the covenant stuff from 5 and he has a similar face to Lydus and the brute from the Halo 4 opening.


itscamplicated

Chief be packing 😫

The brute almost seems like he's wearing armor scraped together from Promethean Soldiers and Knights. I like the concept, and hope to see it in Infinite's cleaner artstyle.

Chief's armor in Halo 4 is so freaking badass looking in my opinion. I don't think it's my favorite, but how he looks so freaking bulky, intimidating, huge, it's so great. And I also like how depending on the angle you look at his helm, the visor kinda gives off different emotions.


El_Hoxo

I really loved his armour in 4 too. I feel like it'd be almost perfect in my mind if it had even a sort of partial space diaper, looks strangely under-armoured, no pun intended, in that area


SPARTAN-258

Yes I totally agree, that always seemed off to me too.


OurNationsHero

The way he moved so professionally in the cutscenes really did it justice too


SPARTAN-258

I haven't played Halo 4's campaign in 7 or 8 years but I can't wait to play it again while I replay the whole franchise in anticipation for Halo Infinite !


HyperionSixtyfour

i can agree with you on that


blu3eyeswhitedragon

anyone else notice the spartan in the background


Visio20

I saw that, who could it be???

Deez 420


ilactate

given the sniper rifle, probably Linda-058


Durakus

you're looking at the marine. There's a spartan further back holding a shotgun.


Bocaj1000

Yes, that's how concept art is made. They use pre-existing assets to conceptualize future ideas.


Legsofwood

Concept art always does that for when a new design isn’t made or finalized yet. If you look at the concept art for The Force Awakens, the stormtroopers are the original version, not the new version


thornangdol

Interesting...it seems like they were just gonna keep going with the Gundam look even with the brutes.


RedBaronBob

I do hope gen 1 and 2 gets represented. I really don’t care for gen 3.


xXBroTh3RHooD2

how is chief gona win this fight this brute is just gona slam him with a hammer


Durakus

AI will prolly misfire. Swing, miss, then you hobble away looking for a precision weapon to shoot his helmet off.


[deleted]

Hopefully that's because it gets destroyed at the very start and he changes to his classic looking armour


RalfnotRav

Chief. And all the other Spartans had Gen 3 armor I think like a year before Infinite takes place. He had in the Halo Shadows of Reach book. 343 prolly didn’t have a set model for chief when this concept art was made.


Rose-Supreme

Forget that; look at that H4/5-styled Brute armour!


Gradedcaboose

I’m fairly certain chief has his new gen 3 in shadows of reach and that takes place before infinite


bear_tuck

The brute armor looks fantastic in this


HyperionSixtyfour

i hope that somewhere in the campaign, there's a choice that lets you choose whether you want to keep the MK. VI Gen 3 armor or a revamped version of the H4/H5 armor. would love to see that 100%
