In Response To: ODST is bittersweet, for me (Jordan117) It seemed pretty ridiculous basing all of that dismay on a tiny map graphic used in a multiplayer map from Halo 2. But if you watch the Field Expedient cutscene from Halo 2, it seems pretty clear that in Halo 2, the space elevator was inside the city, not on a little island (even given that Halo 2 wasn't capable of rendering the city in grand detail and I had to look really hard to figure out that the ground texture was supposed to be "city" and not "water"). But let me ask you.. would you prefer that Bungie hold to that facet of New Mombasa as set in stone, unalterable cannon and be forced to design the gameworld of ODST around it, disregarding the freedom in environmental design that could heavily influence gameplay, artistic elements, and the flow of the entire experience? I mean, it is something that you have to try really hard to have even noticed in the first place. Personally, I like the new design, and I also think it does make sense. I'm not going to get all disappointed that Bungie didn't know blah years ago that they would be making ODST and "get it right the first time".. we're all human :)
