Occams Razor?
Posted By: DanteThePoet <tinyfallon@gmail.com>	Date: 10/22/06 2:03 p.m.
In Response To: H3 Image from Humpday Challenge (Ibeechu) : I would've put this into the thread about 30 or 40 posts down regarding the : "Halo 3 Image," but I didn't know if anyone would see it, : because it's so far down. Anyway, I tried upres-ing the image, but I : couldn't do any better than the otehr people who have already tried it. : Then it hit me, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. What if it's the : H3 version of a map we already know? I took overviews from Zanzibar and : Burial Mounds, crystallized them in Photoshop, and looked for any part : that seemed to match the image. It didn't. Then I noticed the two gray : areas in the image, it kind of reminded me of Red Base in Coagulation. I : cropped Red Base from a map overview, rotated it 90 degrees : counter-clockwise, crystallized it, and here's what I came up with. : : What strikes me hardest is the light part on the top gray area of each image. : They are about the same shape, and in almost the same place. Here's were : Occam's Razor might apply most, though. And I know the distances between : the Rock Garden and the base are different in each image, but maybe the H3 : one was taken froma different angle? As for the color of the rock garden, : maybe it changed just like Blood Gulch added a basement for Coagulation. : Or, I could be wrong on all acounts and just looking too far into something. : Speculate! Occams razor would say that the easiest solution is the most valid. So, seeing as how Halo 2 only brought over a few maps from Halo, Halo 3 would most likely do the same thing with Halo 2. The odds are you are seeing a map we haven't seen before just by invoking that, even if KP hadn't said anything.
