I don't have an opinion one way or the other on their aesthetics. Never wanted to play as a halfling in mmo's from the past, so I don't have a dog in that fight. If I had to make a decision, I'd say yes, I do like them. They look more like Kender from Dragonlance than the traditional halfling, and I don't see a problem with that.
What I do know is thank god there is someone at least TRYING to go a different direction on these tired races; and even if I hated the halfling models, it is a silly reason to not try a game.
I'm surprised there isn't more bitching going on about the gnomes.
