The redesign of the ''Dawn'', as others before me have pointed out, is essentially for gameplay purpose. The ''Dawn''<nowiki />'s width, in canon, is no more than ~150 meters but as [[:File:H4 campaign dawn.jpeg|seen in this image]], the width has been exaggerated to accommodate the gameplay space. It would be an easier (and better) design choice by having John/Cortana waking up and invade into a CSS-class from the Fud as Storm forces inspect the ship, commandeer a working Seraph from the hangar bay and crash land that into Requiem. Would be more dramatic, not to mention fun to revisit the insides of a CSS-class. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  02:37, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

:That mission design would have been very cool, Subtank. Talk about [[The Truth and Reconciliation|double]] [[Skirmish over Threshold|déjà vu]]. Anyway, I'm glad that ''Halo 4'' begins with a thematic tribute to ''The Pillar of Autumn'' and ''Cairo Station''. Despite looking so much different from frigates in previous games, I like the new design; as Killamint has mentioned, it reminds me quite a bit of the ''Heracles''. I do wonder, however, whether 343 will treat the ''Charon'' class' nearly doubled size as a retcon or simply [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShrugOfGod keep it ambiguous]. The aft half alone looks as big as the entire ship did in ''Halo 3'', though maybe that's a matter of forced perspective. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 11:14, 28 September 2012 (EDT)
