:::[[:File:Infinity_fud_scale.jpg|This image]], released prior to the game, explicitly shows that the original 490m length was always intended to remain canon. It's not something 343 Industries changed their minds on in the new ''Visual Guide'' because they "made a mistake".  Like Subtank has already said, the ship was only upscaled for the sake of gameplay, (just like the ''Autumn'' in ''The Maw''), whereas the new look is a retcon. Frankly, I much prefer the redesign anyway; it certainly beats the UNSC having three all-but-identical frigate classes. I think the ''Paris'' class pulls off the old look the best, and it seems that [[The Commissioning|343i agree]] [[:File:FUD-Infinity-Fleet.jpg|with this sentiment]].--[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our vengeance is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 22:34, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Interesting you use that particular image as it doesn't actually show an intact ''Dawn'' as it portends, but rather the Spartan Ops frigates which are not ''Charon''-class. I can't go into much now on the Halo 4 Visual Guide until September, unfortunately. The ''Dawn'' is not just upscaled, its canonical dimensional ratios (in the Halo 4 Visual Guide) cannot be reconciled with what we see on screen (compare length to height or length to width). It's not just the overall length, but the length to height ratio. 343i is aware of this discrepancy...I discussed it at great length with them. For this article, change the pic to what you wish. I don't think all ''Charon''-class (like Aegis Fate) look like the beginning of Halo 4...I think the ''Dawn'''s a one-off at best. This will be all I say on this for now. The discussion isn't really making progress. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 23:15, 23 July 2013 (EDT)
