There's something about this particular part of the Halo introductory cinematic that I found very artistically intriguing. The color contrast between the blue LCD and the yellow-orange keys made for a nice combination, and the cryptic message from Cortana quickly became iconic of the series. That said, the Halo 1 engine obviously wasn't capable of the kind of high resolution textures and shaders needed to achieve an incredible amount of detail on that scene, so out a spurt of both creativity and boredom, I remade that image, with a bit of artistic liberty taken, and have created a wallpaper from it.
For now, enjoy, and I'll be working on another iconic scene very shortly ;)
Warning, for you 56k and DSL users, the images are around/above 1MB.
16:10 Aspect Ratio 1920x1200
16:9 Aspect Ratio 1920x1080
4:3 Aspect Ratio 2048x1536
I need to start posting here more. This is really just the start of a MASSIVE undertaking, one I hope won't take too long. I compiled a list of scenes from Halo 1 - Halo 3 that I found to be symbolic or iconic of the trilogy, which you can see
