@JAGtheJager These were a last-minute addition and designed specifically to be low-effort environment filler. Exposed and damaged parts ala Halo 2's Quaratine Zone were considered too much effort, and so the hex pillars were written into the plot.
@art_rube Halo CE & H2 superstructures had an implied level of detail that hasn't been replicated since. The forerunner shape-language wasn't universal across all sizes.
dont mean to nitpick but how has the ring never looked as big as in CE again? Strangely infinite of all games came the closest.
Look how mysterious this looks. An ancient god waiting to be awoken, not a shiny pretty jewel in space. its unknown and monstrously old.
Here's the Colony UI graphics . The talented Palette team would end up using on a variety of machines and screens for marathon.
I had such a big grin on my face seeing how smartly they used and remixed it to fit the machine needs.

@artofallan This is absolutely insane. Marathon is one of the best designed and fully realized science fiction worlds of all time, across mediums. Every single piece on that link is stunning. Thanks so much for sharing!
