That looks great, though it looks like the alternate art that's behind the front of a game sleeve.

Halo 4 Box Art Revealed
I really dislike all the Halo boxarts. They always go for these panoramic shots but they always seem to forget panoramas are lateral not vertical.
Super baller. All that blue looks really fucking nice, and there's just a shitload of detail on everything.

1. Blue + Orange - Check.
2. Guy with gun - Check.
3. Profit.
Seems like a recipe for success!
If the new Ninja Gaiden got the same treatment....@Cloudenvy said:

It will look different when they put the "ONLY FOR XBOX 360" banner on it, covering the top third :D
Way to make me sad!
Then next year they can release a GOTY edition modeled after this beauty

Those ripples or whatever they are in the upper left don't make much sense to me. But looks awesome anyways.

I don't like it as the box art.. I mean it's a really nice picture but it looks like a concept art or something. I can't really put my finger on why I don't like it. Am I the reason why you americans always get the bad box art?
As someone who really enjoys concept art, I think most covers should feature concept and production art. Though, at first glance it seems more like a CG render.

Before I was seeing the pictures from my phone. After looking the box art from decent screen I have to admit it's looking awesome. I don't know if it's CG or drawn concept art but it at least looks (like you said) CG render and I think that's somewhat fitting box art for Halo. It shouldn't be too artsy because that would mislead consumer about a game which is all about shooting aliens in the face. There's nothing unique about that and would probably end up hurting more than doing good.
That is a pretty awesome boxart, I like the poster-like style to it. With the Forerunner Shield World closing behind them while ships are crashing through to the inside of the planet, and Master Chief in the center of the shot climbing over the mountain, a new unexplored world ahead of him.
Mister Chief and Oonsk approves!

The first good Halo cover I've seen.
I think you're forgetting the Halo Wars Limited Edition:
Shame the game wasn't better.
That's the ugliest Halo boxart I've seen, and I'm a huge Halo fan. The Arbiter looks like a toy!
