I’ve noticed that they’re always so much bigger than anything the covenant or UNSC has built.
A lot of free time.
Cortana from Halo 4:
“Well… someone’s overcompensating…”
I think is part of their culture. The use to like being impotently. And make their constructions big enough for the population they had.
They were a highly advanced Tier 1 species. Covenant and UNSC aren’t able to build super-structures because they don’t have the technology to do that.
They’re a highly advanced species, capable of building “bigger and better” due to their technological standing.
Plus they were like 11 feet tall
