why did they change the halo ring ?

why did they change the outside of the halo ring ?

they didn’t need to remaster it there’s a halo ring in halo 2 and in halo 3 that are up to date on the graphic

i don’t mind the lights but why those giant panels around the side ?

the rest of CEA i liked how is was done but why this ?

( note not a complaint, just wondering )

Because change is good. We all have to get use to it.

Halo 2 & Halo 3 were barely changed for Halo ring designs, they just copy and pasted the Halo CE model, I prefer the new Halo ring, it looks a lot more, Forerunner.

New designs new art new possibilities.

okay, thanks for the reactions

one more question.

why is the halo cea ring in the game new like it is but in the terminals like the old ring ?

I think theres a canonical reason behind the fins on the side of the new Ring.

That sir, is a VERY good question.

The fins are mantince items that move and can remove parts of the Halo for repair or dumping in to space if needed

People can always conjure information without citing sources (including me)

Best answer thus far. 10+

I think they did it to reflect how they might do Forerunner in Halo 4. They made it look more advanced than its looked before. Since graphics are getting better all the time I guess the Halo itself was due for an update. It really was the only thing in the game that hadn’t had some graphical update in a while.

Actually, they had a Halo ring front and center emerging newly created from the Ark’s forge and it looks unsurprisingly like it did in Halo 1 and 2. That’s because that was the intended design. It had nothing to do with inferior or limited graphics.

The sudden change after 10 years was unnecessary and hurt more than it helps.
