I have been going through my head with a thought about the time between of the Halo 3 Ending and the Beginning of Halo 4. First let me put out there that this is based off really evidence (which I will be providing) and not just Fan made up propaganda. This article is purely for Documentation purposes only, and does not intend to encroach or disrespect the Halo Franchise in any way shape or form. Now on to the ever growing Mystery of the Scenes and Evidence that discombobulates the ending of Halo 3 and the Beginning of Halo 4. Let first take a look at the great ship called the Forward Unto Dawn. Here is a model of have straight from Halo 3 itself showing the exterior of the ship and is wonders. http://screencast.com/t/Pr1hdfzvHyoh This is a model straight from the game, and has a full view of the whole entire ship. Here is where the Mystery Begins. As we know, at the end of Halo 3 (Legendary Ending or not) The Elite know as the Arbiter goes onto the ships Bridge to get himself and the Master Chief away from the crumbling Halo Installation (with some help from Cortana of course). And as we know, the ships bridge contains all the abilities to control and maneuver the ship, as well as the Weapons, Communication, and Other impotent stations. Here is the thing, the bridge, as prior to previous Frigates (such as the In Amber Clad) is located at the highest point on the ship itself. An image of this can be found here. The thing is, in Halo 4 the Bridge seems to be replace with the Observation Desks. As right from what Cortana says "Our best bet it figure out who's boarding us is the Observation Desk - four floors up" Here is a image of the Bridge AND Observation Deck of the Forward Unto Dawn. http://screencast.com/t/2iSksPdo If that image is confusing, then take a look at this one. http://screencast.com/t/v5sZYnOEDG9s As I have labeled, the Bridge is the top most point of the ship (which makes since because it would allow the best view for navigating the ships while in space. While the Observation Deck is the lower part, this allowing the crew to see ahead and allowing them to see how the ship is functioning. Here is where it gets complicated. The Arbiter went to the Forward Unto Dawns Bridge and sits down to enjoy the ride home. This is, the bridge that the Arbiter sits down in and the so called Observation Deck the the Master Chief go to BOTH have a set of windows that allow the crew to see in a almost 180 degrees view. Thing is, there is only one known location on the Forward Unto Down and that is where both the Arbiter is seen sitting down at the end of Halo 3 and where Master Chief finds out about the Massive Covenant Fleet in Halo 4. Here is a screenshot of The Arbiter sitting down at the helm of the bridge. http://screencast.com/t/zx3Zq8Eh (If this image is not enough you can watch the regular ending to Halo 3, Legendary or not and see for yourself) And here is a image of the same room (just bigger) with the same circular windows (currently barricaded from a unknown reason). http://screencast.com/t/9Qn10kKfiZN So...If you are still confused as I am, let me make it worse. Here is a screen capture of the same model from Halo 3. Notice the area with the same window setup? I have boxed in the area I am talking about for helpful purposes. http://screencast.com/t/1ktYYh5iblz See what I mean? What is going on? Like I stated above, the bridge on other Frigates has been the upper most part of the ship (that being the area with the windows in a circular form). There is one more Mystery that has yet to be spoken of. When the Master Chief leaves the interior of the Forward Unto Dawn and goes onto its hull. The entire area is in the shape of a "U", meaning there are two walls of the area formed from ships hull (and not a wall made up completely of chucks of scrap metal or debris). Also notice that the Master Chief exits onto the ships outer hull from the lower right hand part of the bottom of the "U" shape? This does not correspond with the model from Halo 3, seen here. http://screencast.com/t/ZMuzsnk7x2 The area where the Master Chief launches the missile could be where the circular pods are. I say "could be" because Cortana kept saying the word "Missile" this could be a reference to the UNSC weapon called the Archer Missile, but it could also be the weapon called the Shiva Warhead. But it is most likely not the Shiva Warhead because Cortana never says the word Warhead or Shiva, this intern leads me to believe that Cortana can only be referring to the Archer Missile which are stored in circular pods that are white capped. One of these pods can be see in Halo 4, the one that Master Chief has to fix by kicking a mechanical part to allow the Missile to be launched. As seen in the above screen capture, the pods are all in a row and are positioned atop a protruding platform. Where as in Halo 4, they are indented into the ships hull, and are separated into two separate pods instead of six pods total. This leads to the other question of: Where exactly was Master Chief fighting on the hull of the Forward Unto Dawn? If anyone know what in the world is going on, then please feel free to post a reply. I now leave you with one final image, or a comparison of two images. http://screencast.com/t/M9Cco0COXtrW
