Spirals from glassing, maybe? | |

In Response To: *SPOILERS* (grantix) : Octagons? : Whatever is burning on the planet (be it from glassing or not) it's just a
The smaller ones look circular but now that you mention it the larger ones are octagonal. My impression of how "glassing" works is that task forces start at different locations around the planet. Each task force glasses a central point and then spirals out from that, the same way Truth's fleet excavated the Portal in Halo 3. When those glassing zones meet, they'd tend to form hexagonal patterns... not octagonal, because you can't "tile" a surface with octagons only and hexagon shapes form naturally when circular patterns meet up. (Honeycombs, soap bubbles... think "bubble shield".) *shrug* Could be artistic license in the trailer, or could be I'm wrong. -- Steve'll await further data before deciding.
