In Response To: Re: Artifact Sizing *Minor H3 Spoilers* (Omega)


: Thanks, and congrats on the house!

: 'Miniature' isn't quite the right term, as it's really just a bunch of 2-D
: buildings many miles in the distance.

: On a related note, the size of the Forerunner Dreadnaught would be
: considerably smaller than it's listing in your scale chart (which I assume
: is based on the relative size of the ship when leaving high charity, which
: is, in turn, based on the relative size of the holy city when next to
: Delta Halo) if it's meant to be at the same scale as those Covenant
: Cruisers.

: Given this image , however, I'd say the scale chart is fairly accurate and
: that one could aquire a much larger measurement for the Artifact using the
: dreadnaught as a reference.

I'm not putting too much stock in a hand drawn image when we don't know what materials the artist had access to when sketching it. A real-geometry object, even if scaled down, will yield a more accurate result in the end. My measurement for the Dreadnought is based on the 3D mesh that leaves High Charity in relation to the full size circular opening the Chief falls into at the end of Halo 2. It's an estimate, and we don't know that the size of the Dreadnought wasn't 'reimagined' for Halo 3. It'd be interesting to see some of the meshes from the 3rd game. Then the scale charts would expand exponentially.
