Bungie is terrible at portraying scale.
Even in reach, where there are supposedly hundreds upon hundreds of ships, we only ever see maybe 15 for 2 seconds.I have to agree with this post. Bungie tries to create vast battles of hundred of ships and enemies, but all we ever get is small, quad-like battles, and no Man vs. Army encounters. On top of that, the sheer ratio of humanity to covenant is not shown as frightening as it should.
Except the opening scene of Halo 2 where you see hundreds of cruisers,if you pay attention then you see a massive sense purple could around high charity,the purple cloud is probably the massive covenant fleet.
No you don't see two-three ships fly past and about maybe five at most ODPs. The Xbox can only display so much before you start entering meltdown territory. And most of the stuff you see in Halo 2 is background affect, meaning little blobs vaguely shaped like what they're supposed to be up close, and they wouldn't really have worked for the scenes above the Artifact.
