Where in ''Reach'' they resembled [[Forerunner]] structures and in ''Halo 4'' they resembled UNSC bases, they now have a neutral stone and metal look, somewhat similar to the ruins found on [[Installation 05]]. | *Although most objects once again retain similar designs to the ones featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the items have once again undergone a visual change.
