Or is that just due to the War Games simulation?
I mean look at this shot and this shot of Noctus and compare to this, this, and this shot of New Mombasa.
Yeah Noctus is a much newer city than New Mombasa I get that…but where are the lights? The billboards? The windows? Is this a city or just buildings of data severs?
Is this how the city actually is or is this War Games simulation shenanigans much like the small looking Halo rings?

OP is referring to the Battle of Noctus, not Empire. Gotta say, couldn’t they have just reused some buildings from that map?
As an Architect student, Battle of Noctus is eye-burning bad in terms of (lack of) details… I used to think it was made in Forge.

He’s asking about the city and Empire is also set in the City of Noctus.

Is it really? Usually I’m on top of map lore…

Most of Halo 5’s Arena maps are located on that Planet, Andesia, and a handful specifically in the City of Noctus. Empire, Eden, Battle of Noctus, and Urban are located in Noctus; Plaza and Overgrowth (which only exists as a simulation) are both located in Promesea.
If Noctus had a few more benches, directional signs, and no friggen military bases smack dab in the middle of the city I’d totally live there 
Its simplified to make it less draining on the xbox and this could be explained in lore as the details on buildings are unnecessary for a war games simulation.
Either way I don’t think the lack of windows/details is really indicative of human colonies, just this is a simplified depiction.

You won’t mind the military base being there when Kig-Yar pirates try to raid you/Jiralhanae hunting parties try to harvest you.

Yeah Party!
No serious I think this garages are only millytary in Special cases like some buildings in our world have an civillian and a millitary purpose like schollbuildings can also be an airraidbunker.
Corrections are welcome

Probably more because of the simulation than anything else. I would hope that most cities don’t have two garages filled with tanks in the middle of a highway.

Those Scorpions make dealing with traffic a hell of a lot easier…

As an Architect student, do you use Forge in class sometimes?
