In Response To: Issue of contention for me. (Bry)


: I just can't call those cruisers. The scale in-game was just too far off,
: which could have been explained as the usual tricks of forced perspective,
: etc, , but then we see this in the cinematic for Spartan Ops, Episode 1.

: The larger ship here, which the Infinity smashes through, seems to be the
: CSS-class Battlecruiser we've become familiar with ever since the original
: Halo, and has appeared in every Halo FPS since.

: These identical looking, but much, much, much smaller ships seem to be
: something new entirely.
: If they are a very light capital ship, even smaller than a UNSC Frigate, than
: their vulnerability becomes much easier to accept.

There is mention in First Strike I believe of a Covenant cruiser only 300m long (which is smaller than a UNSC frigate and about the length of the Trek movie era USS Enterprise-A). Not much was known about this tiny cruiser other than it's length. It was referenced in the Essential Visual Guide (pg41) as a CRS light cruiser.

Doesn't mean this is it necessarily, but I can tell you that since we had to come up with a width for this barely referenced ship, I calculated its width by using the length-to-width ratio of the standard cruiser with the implication it was just like a CCS-class in shape only smaller.

Take that for what it's worth. It looks like that may have been done here.
