On the one hand they're telling us that the FUD is the same ship as the one we were left adrift on in Halo 3, then they make the ship more gigantic than almost any other in all of Halo. And doesn't contain some it known features. Not sure why that gets through a production meeting as acceptable.

If you plugged the Halo 4 FUD into Halo 3, you can't deploy tanks to the Ark because the lower hangar is no longer there, and you can't jump your warthog into the hangar as Halo's blowing up because, again, it's no longer there. The Chief goes into cryosleep with Cortana plinth to the right of his pod from the Chief's viewpoint and an empty cryopod area to his left, then in Halo 4 he awakens in the same pod (redesigned) with Cortana to his left now with another cryopod on his left all of a sudden. It's basic story continuity that got axed.
