I think it looks great, but it is still a REALLY stupid idea.
With the Ark's core atmosphere, you won't be able to see shit. You won't be able to see the other side of the ring. Fuck, you shouldn't even be able to see the actual core. Just play The Covenant and get to the end. The only part of the core you can see is the top of it which broke through the gas atmosphere.
I disagree. I can't fault your logic, but look at it this way: do we bend things a little to get a unique and visually impressive sky, or do we stick to the established 'facts' about the game universe entirely and sacrifice that for yet another starry sky or overcast shitstorm? I think in this case, it's not only alright to bend the rules, but it's actually the better option to.
I don't know if it's "bending things a little" when you're making up something impossible and illogical. I could understand if it was only a little gas or if it was dense enough to see the core, but not the other side, but this is extremely dense that you can't even see Halo through until it rises up. For the gas to just "disappear" is...nonsense.

There is no backstory. It's a fucking dumb idea that makes no sense and is impossible to relate to Halo. Why bring the Halo 3 universe into it if you're going to butcher it and tear it to shreds? There's nothing that's consistent. Fuck, what makes the scenery of inner-Ark is the gas. It's absolutely beautiful seeing those clouds in The Covenant and in Halo (last level).
Let's just put the Earth in it too. Yeah, let's put Earth on the other side of Halo in the sky so it looks cool when you look up. We can also have Halo charging because it looks awesome. Why not?
