: This is the meat of it, I think. If I look closely at things in CEA, I can
: see that you're right. Certain characters and vehicles ARE mismatched. And
: you're especially right about the Forerunner architecture - there is a LOT
: of complexity in things that used to be flat stone. And though I haven't
: gone back and checked yet, I suspect uberfoop's right about the colors.

: But at the same time, things don't look glaringly different to the average
: person who isn't artistically trained or especially obsessed with
: cataloguing things. I've been playing Halo for well over 1/3rd of my life
: now, and Halo: CE feels more familiar to me than my own room, but when I
: loaded up CEA I did not have any thoughts that things looked
: "wrong." Each area I entered felt like the same playspace I
: knew. I never got lost or felt like I wasn't in the same levels I
: remembered.

: Also of note: collision geometry not matching the visuals sucks, and I will
: without reservation agree with others who've said that. It definitely
: needs to be better if there is a Halo 2 remake. I have to say, though, it
: only impeded my gameplay once, for about two seconds.

"especially obsessed with cataloguing things" - it's pronounced LOFTUS! :P
