It’s not fancier, it’s just rendered better.

In a random blog post about about potential Halo action figures at Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation, Poe Ghostal draws parallels between the advance in details between Halo’s Mark V armor and Halo Wars’ Mark IV armor with the advance in details between Star Trek’s 1967 USS Enterprise and the 2009 USS Enterprise. (For him, thinking about Halo made him dislike the changes in Star Trek less.)(Louis Wu 18:56:29 UTC)
