@Unique Name - Oh I wholeheartedly agree with you; just because I can't the rest of the blade doesn't mean it will stop me from creating my own variant using the handle alone. Its just the design of the handle that makes me get all giddy, it looks so badass.
@shellshocker - Im not complaining about it, but rather glorifying it. Its like something we've never seen before in the Halo universe, and just that is deserves a compliment. (Never realized the knife on the GOW characters, Sweet!)
@Haissan Neiman - That put very bad images in my head, lol. Er, detailed to say the least
@The Stig - Opps yeh I meant to say Mark Series but I figured someone would correct me anyway, so thanks
Yes I realize that everything doesn't have to be perfect (lol, im not a freak you know), but what you must realize is that artist such as these create new strains and aspects to the Halo Universe, which is one of the reasons why Bungie decided that the world of Halo was too big for just one Spartan type; there had to be more, and lots of them.
@centerside - That is a definite possibility, and in this instance it is most likely the case. But in any case the artist decided to redo the modeling of the blade handle (most likely because of its now more frontal view) and designed it in such a way that it truly creates an image of the UNSC's design, which makes it automatically Spartan worthy (and badass, dont forget the badassity
).
@Chip475 - True, and in fact I remember reading of a scene like that in Halo: The Fall of Reach. No knives required, but it doesn't hurt to have one at the ready
@spartan 26 - Eh, what?
