Seeing this just reminds of how 343i's Spartan designs are so.... eh.
Yeah, I guess I mean compared to the exaggerated Gears crew. I think they do kinda fit though, since I still can't believe I didn't notice it when they showed it off horde play on stage at first. I do remember thinking that big red shoulder was weird for a Gear.

I might've switched to Kat, but not when I have Gilded Kait (and especially not if there's an Ugly Gearsmas Kait coming).

I was saying Bungies Spartan design (last seen in Reach) still looks way better by comparison.

You know what, I wonder if those are the character models from the new Armory in MCC?

Cool, will definitely use Kat. Always was partial to COG grunts in MP so she'll fit in perfectly.

343 already chickened out. Time for The Coalition to step up.
They chickened out far before that--Or rather Bungie did.

What? Gearsmas Kait with a blue bubble Gnasher (and I think the Highway Lancer goes well with it too) is the best skin in the game!

I kept hemming and hawing on getting that Gearsmas sweater Locust because I didn't want to use the scrap, and now there's like... no use in crafting it. That's so awesome, though lol.

I don't generally use Gearsmas Kait in VS. I usually only use it in Horde.

Escape mode is getting the shaft when it comes to characters. Horde has got Sarah Connor, Halo guy and gal, and most of the main cast. Escape's headliner right now is Parduk

Didn't expect them to be set characters in Horde with their own abilities...wtf does Sarah Connor do.

This cross marketing stuff is gonna get super weird if they branch out more, lol.

Kat <3

Jorge is obviously the best but this is a great pull. Love that they got the OG voice actors -- is the first time any VA from Noble Team have returned to their roles?

The design direction of Reach was so unbelievably strong. Characters look great even in a game they aren't supposed to be in.

Guilty Spark & Penitent Tangent ought to be fun alternatives to Jack if they're so inclined. *nudge*

Wheatley/Portal 2 would be amazing (with voice acting).

*insert floating light bulb character*

All characters all for all modes.
I get that they were trying to save reach and Sarah Connor as surprises (I wasn't going to see that new terminator movie but with all this videogame hype surrounding it I might go see it, can't be worse than the other ones I suppose 🤷🏾‍♂️) and put spotlight on these new characters but besides there helpful abilities lol know way in hell anyone's going to pick these new guys over halo reach and terminator and the og gears characters. I'm prepared to see a loooot if Emile/kat, Marcus, and Sarah Connor escape trips which I am perfectly content with lol.

I am actually surprised just how well they fit into the Gears artstyle, they look like they could almost belong there.

But, I wont be satsified until I see the return of the greatest skin in Gears history....

Agreed, the contrast of Gears art and Halo Spartans works wonderfully. These guys will really stick out on the battlefield.

Oh I'm dumb. Thought the Ultimate Edition was $100 like it was for Gears 4. Didn't realize it was only $80 this time. Will get that then. I want those skins so badly haha.
