In Response To: Re: My eyes have been opened (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: The difference between the Halo 1 Ghost and the Halo 4 Ghost is superficial
: compared with the Halo 3 Forward Unto Dawn and the Halo 4 Forward Unto
: Dawn.

: There is room for fidelity improvements when hardware or processing ability
: deems it possible. Any significant change should have an explanation (for
: instance the Halo 1 Warthog and Halo Reach Warthog should be different
: model numbers (even if just a subset of M12) to help with the difference.

: The Halo 4 Warthog doesn't even have the axle arrangement of very other
: Warthog (including civilian variants) yet it's still an M12? That's not
: just a fidelity adjustment because of the Xbox 360...it's a bad design
: call.

I dunno Stephen. You were just making a point before in this very topic about an additional particle effect in a previously established scene. :P

In principle, I agree with what you're saying here, but you have to admit that you would also take things a whole lot further than those more obvious examples.

There are definitely changes that happen that I'm not keen on, such as our new gunship model of Pelican being fitted with skids instead of wheeled landing gear (yay, let's make it a less flexible platform), or the added dependence on incredibly vulnerable and exposed vectoring nozzles (which, incidentally, they almost literally copy/pasted from a Harrier II).

Come now, 343. Surely you didn't think I wouldn't notice a component so similar to a Harrier II's front, aka, cold nozzles. :P

'course, it's all explainable as a unique variant.

I'm incredibly inconsistent on these things though.
I definitely approve of the changes made to the Longsword and Pelican from Xbox gen to Xbox 360 gen, but only because they make perfectly logical and logistical sense.

That's the crux of it. I don't mind changes when they make sense or look better to my own eye.
I dislike them when they don't.
It's a very subjective and personal issue on a one to one basis with no overbearing "Change = Bad" approach.
