In Response To: Re: Hey SoundEffect... (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Yeah, the outside part of the Traxus Complex was right on a lake and the
: Covenant by burning away the ground to uncover the portal evaporated the
: lake leaving half a ship teetering on a precipice and docks half intact
: and the usual garbage on the lake bed. (spare tires, etc.) I'd love to do
: a concept photoshopped screenshot of what the Traxus area may have looked
: like before the Covenant's arrival. I have an idea in my mind what I'd
: see. The motorized dinghy we see in the Traxus section was likely built
: for the end cutscene where the Arbiter is rescued from the Forward Unto
: Dawn hull, and then they just threw the model in here for atmosphere.

Yeah, eventually I came to all those conclusions. It's kind of like the mined moon at the Ark, Bungie never comes out and tells you everything, but they let the player (one who is interested) discover for themself. That right there is one of the big things I love about Halo and Bungie's quality of work.

One thing that I always thought was strange was the fact there was a lake there at all, especially one that would have been large enough and connected enough to give reason for the shipping seaports we played through. I wonder if Bungie's invention of the lake has anything to do with the theories (unless a Bungie artist talked about it, I can't remember) about there being a huge rise in sea level, hence the old, large sea walls in Mombassa... Maybe there was a very dynamic change in the landscape with that sea rise (if there was one) which led to Voi being connected to the sea.

Alright, that's enough rambling speculation for now...
