Using these three sources, the natural conclusion is that the UNSC do play a role in the game. Concept art like that doesn't just get rejected, especially if it was shown at a festival and in a trailer (assuming the ships in the trailer are UNSC).
You have a point, but an entire level and portrayal of New Mombasa was scrapped from Halo 2 despite being shown at E3.
A nice point, Cobra, but not entirely correct. That level was not directly cut, merely altered from what the reveal was. The concept remained there and was not altered from its barebones. And generally, to my understanding of the idea behind revealing concept art, it's not shown if it's not something that could potentially be cut. What I'm saying that if it's shown, then it is pretty definite that it will appear, not necessarily how the concept revealed is though.
Well, all I know is that New Mombasa no longer looks like the way it did in the Halo 2 E3 demo. Sure the concept was the same, but the difference is that 343 said don't get comfortable with the Halo 4 concept art, so I'm weary to accept it all right now.
It only really changed in Halo 2 for the first portions of that level while you're in the older city. It didn't look all that different to me in ODST or in the latter portions of the level when you're in the streets right before entering the building where you go to destroy the Scarab.
IIRC, that quote was more along the lines of what Ruby said above me, it would seem to be more meant as saying "don't get attached to the art itself and automatically assume that it's going to look just like this" ...And didn't they say that about the armor when the Master Chief actor came out >_> Not the concept art in the video?
