I don’t think I can have a bigger disagreement with you guys on halo than I do with these choices. Halo 2 has to be one of the most bland covers. Sure it’s cool, but it’s just chief. There’s no ring in the background. No marines fighting. There’s no real character to it. It reminds me of call of duty covers just as much as Spartan ops does. It doesn’t have that sci-fi to it. It’s just a soldier standing there in a generic pose.

The Heroic Stances of Master Chief on Halo 3's and Halo 2's Cover perfectly capture the Enbodiment of how the Games are. Halo 2 looks dynamic action loaded and Savage. I can imagine Steve Vai playing Electric Guitar in the Background while the Master Chief stands there as the Dual-wielding Badass that he is, ready to scare some Grunts with a simple "Boo!" The Halo 3 covers shows the Chief in Motion like it's his "One Final Effort" to finish the fight and to find Cortana. His Battle-scarred Armor is a Symbol of his experience from fighting countless enemies and that he truly is "The last Spartan"!

I think halo 3 and reach should be swaped. Halo 3 had a cool detail that if you look closely at it you see cortanas eyes and it matched up with one of the halo 3 trails the one where cortana says is the the way the world ends. Reach I felt like it it was more generic. Also 5 if you look the background has banshee that are the classic models not the models they use in halo 4 or 5
@rotatingglasssafe2 жыл бұрын
Although it might seem generic to have noble team looking all bad ass on the front cover, like the H3 cover it's all in the details. The armour variations and the body language of the Spartans is very strong. You can pick up a little bit of their personalities from the cover art alone. The contrast of the blueish gray with the orange is alot more intense than that of H3. Also I've a bone to pick. As badass as the chief looks on H2. I feel H2 is the most generic and nearly dated of the art covers. That pose was copied from DOOM, Duke nukem lara croft and definitely some movies posters and for me hasn't aged well. Yes he still looks "cool" but of all the cover art H2 is bar far the most generic.

The forerunner texture combined with the unsc logo just does something for me in a way that I can't explain. I just think it catches my eye very well.

Funny enough despite how much I love CE itself the cover has actually never been one of my favorites. It's cool to be sure but it's always felt somewhat jarring and goofy compared to the final game (particularly with the banshee lasers) though I'll admit the fact that it WAS an action packed cover certainly is a rarity among all of these. Also I might admittedly bump H5 a tier as I think it's more between A and B (definitely not S but it's a bit better than B). It might just be a me thing but I actually lied the subtle effect of each squad being in the lower darker portions of the opposite squad leader's helmet and as simple as it is, I do like the two helmets facing off. It's a neat little effect.
