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.

I watched the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h62oVkSOB1Q]final Halo 3 cutscene[/url] and it certainly seems to me that most of the details were actually kept the same, the only real differences are the updated graphics and the fact that the Chief, it seems, was actually just moved one pod to the left. Honestly though, these are details that the majority of players wouldn't notice/care about, and if it made the gameplay better being positioned in the center, it was a necessary change.
