By "shells" I meant the hero shooter aspect that they leaned on after the directors changed. People were expecting grounded characters that they could customise as they want which are typical for extraction shooters in general. Character specific abilities aka heroes are not as good as "create your own character" gameplay and immersion wise.The designs for these "shells" are all better and iconic for what they are, and one is literally just the Security officer from Marathon lol. Nothing is overdesigned or garish in all the colors Bungie let you use to color your Spartan. All 3 of those were also acquired by playing the game and doing obscenely hard challenges like 1000 gamerscore in Halo 3 for security, Vidmaster challenge or send Bungie a video of you killing yourself with a traffic cone for recon, and find all 13 skulls and the one skull literally had you jump through hoops to play the Halo theme and people only found out how to do that through datamining for Hayabusa. You also got the Katana by completing the whole campaign on LASO which is obscenely fucking hard.
The terminals in Halo 3 also look way cooler than anything the trannies at Bunghole will make today.
