One of the reasons Bungie was so upset was because when the first saw a screen shot it was something like this: [url]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080731092608/halo/images/b/b9/1217496363_Halo_Wars_UNSC_vs_Covenant.jpg[/url] It was fairly realistic of how a full scale battle would have been in the Halo Universe. Then it got nerfed to how we know it today. Compare the picture, which was an actual screenshot of the game during early development, versus the finished product.
