    I really hate the chrome and blue cyber lights they replaced the forerunner architecture with in this and the 343 Halo games.

    The weird brushed metal / almost stone like appearance of the original material gave the impression of something monolithic and ancient. Yeah, there were some holograms hovering in front of walls, but these were always hidden inside structures, becoming more numerous as you went deeper underground, as if to imply that you’re entering some sacred space or getting closer to something secret. In either case I think the structures had a quiet dignity that contrasted strongly with the Covenant’s very loud bright blue and green aesthetic (even the aforementioned holograms were pale and less saturated compared to the Covenant stuff).

    Instead we get something that looks like it belongs in a fucking gamer PC or some pimp’s car.
