I was playing Halo: Reach today and I noticed that in the cutscene where the UNSC Pillar of Autumn exits Slipspace, Installation 04 looks exactly the way it looked all the way back in 2001. If you look closely, Bungie did not update the model for Installation 04. It really makes the Ring look out of place when the gas giant Threshold and the void of space have been updated, graphics wise. This is just a small graphics issue and it doesn’t make the game bad at all, I just thought it was funny and weird that Bungie, who are known for small details in the Halo series, overlooked something as massive as Installation 04’s model.
Might not have necessarily been something they overlooked, but rather something they left in on purpose. This was their last game and a goodbye to the Halo fans, so something like that would be a neat Easter egg. I haven’t actually compared the two myself though.

Yeah, I can see that as a reason why they would not update Installation 04’s model. It just looks rather out of place in a much more detailed background. Maybe it doesn’t have the same effect on me as I did not play Halo: Combat Evolved all the way back in 2001. I wasn’t even able to walk during those years.

Yeah I know what you mean. Reach made some pretty big strides in terms of tech so an older model would look odd.
