:::Yeah, I have no problem with the original one. The destruction of the ring itself was a pretty important part of the battle and I don't see why showing a ground battle would be qualitatively better. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 09:44, 28 August 2016 (EDT) | :::Yeah, I have no problem with the original one.

A ground image would be better for the same reasons as with articles about the Great Schism and Battle of High Charity. They originally had the Halo 2 Anniversary Image of High Charity, wich is good because it's high res and newer. Problem is that High Charity is so big it zooms out of the actual conflict that is happening. So it's been changed back to an image of the ground conflict showing the action of what's going on since it's more accurate. See discussion here: [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Great_Schism&oldid=1112682|"I guess this counts"] [http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Great_Schism&oldid=1112701|"The previous main picture is high-res, but it's too distant to show the battles apparently depicted. This image, IMO, depicts the civil war better."] | |||
I'm thinking that same decision making process. The Halo Ring is zoomed out to the point where the battle can't be seen. If for example we wanted to show World War II, we would show images from war zones either of soldiers fighting on the ground, ships fighting in the ocean, or planes fighting in the sky. Showing an image of Earth from outer space wouldn't reveal much. | |||
Of course these are all opinions, so we'll go with majority. I think showing the actual battle of installation 04 on the ground or even ships in space fighting is better than a zoomed out image from space where nothing can be seen but the Halo Ring and the one explosion.
