In Response To: Re: Im so glad they changed the assault rifle. (Bry) : In a way though, that does help tie in a bit more to the idea that Covenant : technology is mainly supposed to be re-purposed Forerunner technology. Mkay, here's why the Halo might look different. Hard Light. In Cryptum, it was mentioned that the boxy, angular aesthetic we see in Forerunner buildings is the base building. Most Forerunner buildings look like that, but are decorated (Interior and exterior, I presume) with hard light, allowing the occupants to redesign at will. As seen on Didact's ship, these hard light constructs are also functional, with entire rooms being constructed of them. What we see here might be entire hangars made from hard light, or something like that. Why did Bry's post bring this up? Because in the Evolutions re-issue, a Prophet's journal named Hard Light as one of the innovations of the Forerunner that the Covenant couldn't come close to understanding. In Cryptum, I read that mention of Forerunner buildings and realized "That's what the Covenant were imitating! If they couldn't create the hard light exteriors, they might have tried to do the next best thing with the purple alloy!"
