However, does the ring look too wide to anyone else? If you look at the image on the right with the [[:File:Delta Halo.jpg|original version]], the other side seems much slimmer in the original. I had a similar concern with [[:File:H2A - In Amber Clad approaches Halo.png|this image]] and it's something a lot of fan artists seem to miss about Halos; they're really, really narrow and that's one thing that helps make them look big along with the minute scale of the detailing. I wonder if Blur modeled the ring according to the canon dimensions (10,000 km diameter, 318km wide) or at least proportionate to them, or if the camera perspective is just more flat than in the original. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:22, 19 October 2014 (EDT)

:Yeah, I agree with the redesign, CEA went overboard on the aesthetic detail, and the Halo lost something as a result. I think what's key to the design of the Halos is their minimalism; the focus shouldn't be the little details up close, the focus should be the fact that it's a gargantuan 10,000km artificial ringworld hanging in space. I quite like the blue circly things myself, they look like engines or thrusters to keep the ring spinning at a consistent rate, adjusting the orbit and whatnot. Also, given ''Nightfall's'' revelation that the rings are far more mobile and self-sufficient than we initially thoughy, I think this design helps to sell that. - [[File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="green">('''Talk''')</font>]] 08:55, 19 October 2014 (EDT)

:I agree, I prefer the ring's more simple design over the HCEA one which was outrageous and had too many kibble and gribbles in it. And I do see what you mean about the latest iteration being a bit wider than the previous designs. Nice comparison by the way.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 09:14, 19 October 2014 (EDT)
