: So I was messing around in 3D Max today working on a side project and I
: pieced together the interior rooms of Halo 4's Forward Unto Dawn. I also
: placed them with the aft section exterior we got from the opening cutscene
: of the level. Then, I also loaded up the Halo 3 version Forward Unto Dawn
: and the Pillar of Autumn from Halo 1 just to see the size discrepancy. I
: knew the Halo 4 ship was bigger than intended, but I wasn't really sure
: how much bigger until I could load them all in the same 3D space. Wow, is
: all I have to say...

: I'm now interested in seeing how this giant FUD will touch down and deploy
: tanks on the Ark in a future Halo 3 Anniversary. :P

: Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn - Playable area inset:

: Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn along with to-scale versions of Halo 3 FUD and Halo
: 1 Pillar of Autumn:

While playing through the level, my assumption was that the "Observation Room" was at the front of the ship's bridge tower farther back, which seems like it would've made more sense scale-wise.

But yeah, this is a pretty silly discrepancy. Come on, 343i, I know you can do better.
