Why is Master Chief's pod in a new location in the beginning of Halo 4
It seems inconsistent with where it was in the Legendary Ending? I thought he got in a pod that was on a wall with many other pods lined up against in but in Halo 4 he's in the back of a small room and there are only like 3 pods on this wall and there's one on his right unlike in LE. So, did Cortana move MC's pod when she was editing his armor? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Changing the location and design goes under it. Yes it becomes inconsistent, but that comes with the concept. You used the example of [i]simplifying[/i], this is just the opposite; 343i felt the need to complicate things, so they redesigned the Dawn, and with that came the relocation of Master Chiefs pod. That's it as far as I see it.[/quote] Dawn was redesigned to work as a level. And OP, this is a nonissue.[/quote]But is it ideal to change things around to cater for new needs? If it wasn't possible to have an entire level in the Dawn, why decide to change the facts in order for it to work, why not come up with a solution that works with what's given? Have Chief board a Covenant cruiser, turn the table, or something? Am I the only one who thinks that plowing through without consideration for what's established is just lazy?[/quote] Bungie did the exact same thing with the Pillar of Autumn warthog run. What are your thoughts on that? It isn't lazieness, because boarding a Covie cruiser in space is nearly impossible. You'd get obliterated by pulse lasers. The only way the level could have made any sense is if it played on the Dawn, and the only way such a level could have made any sense, or been any fun, is if the Dawn was redesigned. The important factor is not the design of the Dawn--it still fits within the tone of UNSC, and fits within the confines of the story (where Chief starts or what the ship looks like is not story, those are details)--the important factor is that the Chief destroys a Covie ship, and is pulled into the planet on a UNSC Frigate.[/quote] Having the Master Chief miraculously board a covenant cruiser would make more sense than things magically rearranging themselves. Also, they gave an explanation to why MC's armor is different, they said Cortana used nanobots, so why not explain this inconsistency? [Edited on 11.29.2012 1:46 PM PST]
