Use as page image

Though this is a nice picture, it is obviously one taken when the impostering system of the game had taken over. I feel like this degrades the quality of the overall image, and doesn't look quite appropriate for the guiding image of the SDV page. --UNSCSILVERSTREAK 20:23, 20 December 2011 (EST)

Not sure what you mean by what you said, but just so you know, this image is of one of the Corvettes that hung in the sky over New Alexandria in the level ONI: Sword Base. It's not nearly as detailed as the Ardent Prayer, but that's just because the player is not supposed to go up and over the whole city and be able to get a screenshot of this model of corvette. Besides, this also showed up in the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, so it is canon. In my opinion, this is a good image to be put on the article, and can be used as the intro image. --Xamikaze330 20:38, 20 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

"Impostering" is when the game lightly renders a faraway model so that the player can not tell it is less detailed from a distance. This used often during Forge World. Since we already have more detailed images of the model used in Long Night of Solace, using this as the intro image is highly unnecessary. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 00:49, 21 December 2011 (EST)
