In Response To: :-\ (pete_the_duck) : 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 :) I'd prefer it had stayed land-locked, for even structural reasons, so I am a little disappointed at the retcon. And I was well aware of where it was in Halo 2. :)
