Halo: Combat Evolved's Forerunner architecture is depicted as generally monolithic but nonetheless beautiful and fascinating to explore. As time went on graphics improved and were expected to improve of course so Forerunner architecture has become more and more intricate and even tiny details can be examined, especially in Forge World.

I personally preferred the more monolithic take on Forerunner architecture but I couldn't hold a grudge against Bungie because at the end of the day technology and graphics must improve side-by-side.

What's your opinion?
Please discuss.

Monolithic: Very large and characterless.
Intricate: Very complicated or detailed.

Need a map reviewed? Try The Forging Assembly!

Sanctum

I think both work really well. I think the outside of structures look best when they are monolithic, sort of Halo 2 style. But inside the structures, when your deep enough inside that they are protected from the weather then they look better as intricate and detailed style.
