But it's not like 343 doesn't have funding. I imagine Microsoft would like to give them a decent amount, as Halo is really one of the only good exclusive titles on their console. And while it may be canonical, elites look like diseased T-rex's, grunts look like mutated tree stumps and jackals look like -blam!-ed-up raptors. I don't know. It just isn't as compelling any more.
Forge should be good though, so long as there are two infection modes (being stuck as a flood was really limiting. Thank goodness for modders).

See, that's the thing. Everything 343i wants to do has to be pitched to Microsoft in order to get funding. If Microsoft doesn't see something as cost effective or appears too risky economically, they won't approve 343i finding for it. It's the same with almost any publisher-developer relationship you look at.

So long as elites are [i]supposed[/i] to look cooler, and not like scabby slow monsters, that's fine. I'm really only getting Halo 5 to see what the story is like, and to do shit in Forge, so long as you can place forerunner-style objects again. The UNSC stuff in Halo 4 wasn't that great to work with.

I agree wholeheartedly. Forge in Halo 4 sucked. The only map I enjoyed making maps on was the space one, and that's because I could make a massive space station.

It was one of the only maps large enough for Forge.
