As much as I would have liked the night time to be darker, I guess it makes sense. It's a ring world, not a planet. The sunlight would still be bouncing around and it wouldn't be as dark as we assume, at least not on the inside of the ring most likely. Idk, maybe I'm wrong, but it makes sense to me.

To people that’s saying that it could be darker well… here’s a counterpart. Knowing that there is nothing the ring orbits around and by it’s shape, even when it’s “night time” the suns light still slightly covers the sky. I think why it was night time in Truth and reconciliation is because perhaps the planet was also covering the sun, making it darker than here.

I love how it actually looks like the ring is rotating and you can see the stars go by. The other neat part was the mid-day "sun set" when the sun went behind the ring and casted an orange glow before popping back out again. You can also see the Banished ship in the background dropping bases onto the surface before collecting its phantoms and moving to the next area. It's an awesome little detail. Also, just a thought about night. It is weirdly brighter than day. It could be darkened a little. But we have to keep in mind that the ring in that spot is broken and the light still comes up through the cracks and scatters through the ring's atmosphere. That's probably why other spots on the ring look darker. It does make sense why it's so bright but it would be nice to have a darker night option.

[@xxminecrafthype443]

The ring rotating doesn’t really make much sense, if you were standing still it would just look like the ring was still too. You’re actually just seeing the clouds moving.

Yes! I wondered what it would look like if the sun/star would go behind the other side of the ring from the part of the ring where you're standing, and your video actually shows that quite perfectly from around 1:20!

Damn, at first i thought having the ring turning in the background was very wierd, but no, it's the clouds moving on the other side ... That's amazing

[@redtsun67]

The reason it isn't dark at night is because of diffraction. The light hits the edges of the ring and bends around it slightly forming a penumbra; a space of partial illumination. The ring itself is actually pretty thin in terms of celestial objects, so it makes sense that more light would diffract around the edges and form a brighter penumbra.

Has anyone tried to find any time-related Easter Eggs this way? Seems like a day/night cycle is a good opportunity to include time-related Easter Eggs considering an Enemy with Time Controlling Abilities is now becoming the Main. Currently can try interacting with the wildlife during the Night. The wildlife videos calls them Gophers, but they also look like Ferrets, which ties into the Halo lore and also is similar to 'Ferrex', aka "Rex". The Act of Genesis Stance is of Veta Lopis, the Ferret Commander. The video mentions that they are more active during the Night Cycle. Perhaps a certain group of them can lead the ayer somewhere during the Night Cycle, or standing next to the brightened (hint at Bioluminescent meaning Night Cycle) Cylix for a full hour can trigger something. Also, March 28, 29, and 31 are all dates to look for Easter Eggs. The 28th fits the lore, the 29th for the JH Memorial (standing there for a given time and also looking at 'The Starry Night' Star formation in the sky next to the Halo Ring), and the 31st for John Donne's death.

[@luisfernandoca3794]

It’s not darker since it’s not a planet, it’s a ring, so there’s sunlight even at night

[@kwedl]

The volumetric clouds and cloud shadows are really doing all the work here. I'm glad that most games these days use volumetric clouds, they save the devs a ton of time since they don't have to spent months taking images of clouds and compositing them, they are completely dynamic, have actual depth and can interact with light and the player and can even be used as fog. I was kinda surprised to see that Forza Horizon 5 despite being a technical marvel still uses basic sky boxes. It always makes clouds look flat and they often just deform in weird ways.

[@thesprawl2361]

I don't mind, but TBH I would've LOVED it if they'd accurately modeled the theoretical day-night cycle of a ring planet. Imagine seeing the huge shadow of one side of the halo sweeping across the map, Zeta halo effectively _eclipsing itself._ And if the ring is turning yaw and pitch at the same time then the day/night cycle becomes extremely complicated and really pretty damn cool. It'd just give a real sense of being on an alien planet if the day night cycle was scientifically accurate. It's those little details that make you feel like you're really there. A lot of work though :)
