Talk:Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier: Difference between revisions

(→‎Scale in Reach.: new section)
Line 274: Line 274:


I was playing through campaign again and had just beaten PoA, when I noticed something pretty weird. The CCS cruiser on the ground was freaking enormous compared to the scrapped cruiser and frigates. The scale is way off. The SC maybe just be a regular Assault Carrier whose size maybe be distorted by Reach's new scaling system. Play through the last part if ya don't believe me.--[[User talk:Zervziel|For the Swarm!]] 20:21, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

I can't say I particularly agree with your assessement, but perhaps I'm going to be a tad bit biased having put quite so much time and effort into coming up with the approximate measurement in the first place, lol.
The CCS Battlecruisers aren't exactly small. Instead try and remember them flying around New Alexandria, as well as when one overflies you in Halo 3. I find the one at the end of PoA fairly consistent with this and in relation to the ''Pillar of Autumn'' itself.
And you wanted a pic showing the Assault Carriers and CCS Battlecruisers jumping in.

I actually think the Super Carrier itself is a different colour compared to the Assault Carriers and its not just the distance and green haze effect, because the Assault Carriers that jump in have a somewhat different tone of colour, more like they are in Halo 3.
They don't fill the screen, yet they are plainly much closer than the Super Carrier was, otherwise the visual effects would also apply to them and the CCS Battlecruisers giving them that green/maroon appearence.
The final thing would be just to remember how large the Super Carrier was in Tip of the Spear. Bungie also made a point of talking about how large it was in the commentary, being one of the largest single models they've ever made.[[User talk:BrySkye|BrySkye]] 22:53, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
