There's also the possibility that while there is a floor "512", there aren't another 500 or so floors and they decided to play 'one, two, miss a few'...which has even been done in the real world. ...granted usually they usually only skip a dozen or so, not a few hundred, but eh, it's the future, everythings bigger in the future, including the lies.

I could get behind the idea that the city grew so much that it started having to layer upward, so we're really only seeing the top layer of a multi-layered city from the tower

the sign you show in the skyscraper doesn't say it's the 512th floor, it says it's level 512 - it's pretty common in big industrial buildings to refer to floors by their elevation above site datum so the 512 could be 512m or 512' which are in the ballpark of your estimates (especially if you don't know if it's referenced to local ground level or sea level or some other datum)

Add the crash, and it either extended during the crash, was extended later to clear hangers/weapons as some protection against hostiles while the ship was grounded...or FoeHammer extended it in order to try picking up Chief early enough there rather than the skin of the teeth launch at the end of the run there.

In the beginning cutscene, when they do the flyby around the ship, you'll notice that there is a small gap in the ship where the small front section meets the large rear section.

343 in the CE remaster could’ve at least added some torn ship pieces on the mail, to show that maybe during the crash, the Pillar of Autumn tore itself apart and maybe even extended it’s length. This would help the bridge part make more sense, as long as it look as if the ship had a huge rip in the middle.

So with the building thing, it actually is the 512th floor because that is part of a tourist building that is spread vertically across multiple city recreations. Street level of the Paris city recreation is on the 454th floor. Street level of the city recreation below, New York, is on floor 360. That is a nod to the Xbox 360.

I always thought of the pillar of autumn "bridge" was a quickly constructed ridge between 2 parts of a broken ship

I wasted a good few minutes of my life listening to your calculations about Paris, you really did all those calculations for someone to comment that the floors could be underground. HAHAHA

Could it be that the crash caused the bridge to open on the pillar of autumn in the maw? I doubt its a viable theory but still

12:50 My university did something similar for 1 of the buildings. They don't want it to be optimal, they want it to look cool.

It was extremely entertaining seeing all your guesses about where that parisian picture was taken from. Though in the end you were right >> It was indeed taken from the top of the Montparnasse Tower (which is just a bit further away from Montparnasse Trainstation that you quote). I recognized it instantly because this exact viewpoint is that of a wonderful restaurant with an amazing view where we had a dinner following my wedding. Highly recommended place, btw, it is called "Le Ciel de Paris". Anyway, I pretty much looked like that DiCaprio pointing-the-screen meme during half of the duration of that video. And great investigation work!

I recall for the map pack development that Highlands was a part of, Bungie had this specific thinking about the three maps, with each showing the progression of Reach's destruction. The Firefight map that came with it was sorta the beginning, when the covenant were just touching down. Highlands was during the fall, and then Condemned or whatever the space station map was, was viewed as the final hours of Reach's glassing.

I feel like you really could have just counted the floors on an equally tall building in the distance

Legit studying trig rn, was screaming at you guys to use it for the tower from the very start :P

Wow I love all the research you did to make this video! Really well done

This is now my favorite rocket sloth video, purely for the fact that yall did low level trig and calculus. I am a math buff so it was fun!

Ok, so I just remembered something for the argument that the building really is 512+ levels, if anyone remembers the fact that swordbase is really just a cover for the massive facility *underneath it* then that makes a great possibility of the building being able to go down as well.

Generally in modern day buildings one floor is 10 feet tall, so if all the floors were above ground then the tower would be around 5120 feet tall, which is almost a mile high

I mean, it is the future, mile high buildings are probably the norm. They built space elevators too, so it's not out of the question.

You can make 512 floors in a skyscraper shorter than 512 stories by having sub floors or alternate towers. For example, 100 floors split upon 5 towers that all make up one building.

The weird non human architecture is cool, reminds me of tommyknockers. I mean, idk if that’s a human or alien spaceship in the level, but if it’s an alien ship, it would make sense that the layouts unique. They wouldn’t physically move the same as us.

If I were trying to retcon the level 512 thing, I would argue that “level” in that context 500 years on the future means something different, or even that it means something different depending on the location. Like how Americans call the floor at ground level the first floor and Brits call it ground (right?) I mean in a future where people populate multiple planets and with advanced architecture, I could believe that for one reason or another, “level 512” just means something else. But ye it prob is just an oversight.

I was thinking along similar lines myself - they just immediately assumed "Level 512" is the same as "Floor 512", but that's not necessarily the case, as "Level x" could mean a lot of things in different contexts. Even in the event that they are "floors", they're still assuming each one is the exact same height and that those heights correlate to modern construction standards. It could be that they're called "Levels" because each one isn't the same height at all and there could be a number of maintenance or storage levels in between habitable and office levels that are significantly "shorter" than the others.

RocketSloth: Theatre's were all wiped out in 2020 Australia: HAHA THEATRE GO BRR

Just a thought about discovering the height of the tower. It could be that in the halo universe there are subfloors and it’s just stating that you are on floor 500 something and the bottom floor is just numbered one while maybe floor 400 something is like the lobby. Doesn’t make much sense when elevators usually classify sub floor as a different floor system but it could explain it easier.

AMAZING VIDEO!!! But super hilariously overkill lol

My go to explanation for the length of the warthog run in The Maw is that The Pillar of Autumn crash landed earlier so it's probably not the most in tact structure at the moment. That and a combination of the twists and turns point

We have to take in account the limitations of hardware when the game developed. The the pillar of autumn drive was probably made that way to render small sections. Halo 3 was made for an Xbox 360, this limited render distance problem would still be in effect.

The skyscraper may just have an underground complex under it. That seems like something that may be in the Halo universe

Cortana has the entire Pillar of Autumn schematics in her data centers so it does make sense that her waypoint would be accounting for the twists and turns, not to mention that there is a time limit so I imagine Master Chief would be better off knowing the exact distance he's driving.
