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. The point is, John starts in the pod, gets out of the pod. Will the story be effected in any way by the placement of the pod? They placed it at the end to make it feel important, like the King at the end of the table.[/quote] He starts in one pod and gets out in another pod it makes no sense its stupid and inconsistent and I have a right to complain because it should be an important issue to telling a story especially a serious sci-fi story...even Dragon Ball Z has better continuity than this...[/quote] I'm finding it harder and harder to take you seriously. What part of the story is effected by this? I'll give you my house if you can find one.[/quote] Because it just makes no sense at all and its a big thing Master Chief arises from his cryosleep its big and important they should've kept it the same they shouldn't have made it make no sense....like wouldn't you be pissed if like you woke up and you weren't in the same bed you were on top of the roof I know I would I know Halo isn't real I just want it to be able to play out the story in my head and comprehend it I like seeing how different parts connect and when they don't its just not fun anymore[/quote] ...But you still can't come up with a reason that it effects the story, which is all that matters. It is supposed to feel big and important, which is the precise reason why the changed it, because you were the center piece, the king at the end of the table rising from his seat. Complaining about details like that is nitpicking, nitpickers are those who are trying to find things wrong, who are fanboys. And we're talking Trekkie-tier fanboys.
