Re: Reconciling the T&R and the cruiser in "Keyes"

In Response To: Re: Reconciling the T&R and the cruiser in "Keyes" (Bry)


: Just because they refer to it as 'this cruiser' in Keyes doesn't really much
: difference to me, I don't think I could ever build an argument around that
: myself.

: The different layouts, imo, don't make much sense in either case, saying as
: its the same class of ship. Doesn't really make sense for it to be a
: different ship in the same class with such a different layout, doesn't
: make sense for it to be the T&R because of a different layout.

: Some might call it as an excuse not to think, but based on what is available
: to us, and remembering that Halo is still a video game, I don't mind
: passing off the differences as a design liberty.
: I don't think it was ever really taken into consideration that people would
: take the map files and create renderings and comparisons out of them.

: Let's re-emphasise some things yet again, essentially that Bungie are
: entirely in-capable of taking liberties about such things as we have seen
: with the Maw run.

: Credit to Bungie, they often do pay a lot more attention to details than
: others, but they are not perfect nor do they sort out every little detail.
: A Pelican can't fit through the opening in the Silent Cartographer either,
: but that doesn't stop one getting through via the magic of video games.
: The Longsword on Tempest seems to be the incorrect small-scale model, where a
: human being couldn't fit in the cockpit.
: Sometimes its possible to just over analyse things too much.

Not only that, for all we know the second-final level may have been made before the third level of the game. Audi could have been recorded out of sequence. The name Truth and Reconciliation may not have been made up until late in development and then only got attached to one ship speficically.

Regardless, it's not too difficult to either imagine two bridges (main and aux) or as you said, chalk it up to a design flaw.

For what it's worth, the same thing happens inside the Autumn from the beginning to final level of the game. The Cryo Bay comes to mind. Not only that, but just within the first mission the Lifeboat bay is on the wrong side of the ship, so in my opinion, the Autumn is screwed up worse for internal layout than the Cov cruiser.
