*'''Greg Hermann:''' "In a lot of ways, it was a fine balancing act because we were running all of the original Halo animations. So it was the original Halo skeletons for those characters. It needed to be rebound into the updated meshes that we had brought over from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. For example, the [[Sangheili|Elites]] had an elongated neck, so now they're a little more squat and compact." | *'''Greg Hermann:''' "In a lot of ways, it was a fine balancing act because we were running all of the original Halo animations.
