Re: Well done, sort of...

In Response To: Re: Well done, sort of... (Metatron)

: Jamie Griesemer (Halo 2 Design Lead) -
: “All through Halo 1 we were putting in hooks for Halo 2. Almost nothing in
: Halo 1 was random. I think a lot of people are going to play Halo 2 and
: then go back and play Halo 1, because they’ll see a lot of things they
: didn’t see before.”(p.222)

: This quote was taken from EGM issue # 160.

: The story and details of Halo weren't rushed. The rush, as far as I'm aware,
: was to get the game done for the Xbox launce. Halo had been in the works
: for some time before then. Proof of this can be shown by Halo's Mac World
: 99 apperance, which was some 3 years before it's release on Xbox:)

: -Metatron

As I said, I want to believe you. But, I'm really of the mind that descriptions of multiplayer maps would be a last-minute detail kind of thing that would get rushed.

As for Jaime's quote, I'm taking that with a grain of salt. I think that for the average Halo fan it might be true that there are things that were missed that will be given new meaning once Halo2 comes out. But, I think that the same thing will not be true of average HBO fans. Basically, this site and this forum have done an incredible job of picking apart the game.

I would be really surprised if something showed up in Halo2 that referred to something in Halo that hadn't been noticed, mentioned, documented, and theorized about here (There have been threads about everything from the bugs on 343GS, to the blue beam towers, to the "shrimp" on SC, to history of the water level on SC.). So, Halo2 will shed new light on things that were mysteries to us in Halo, but I doubt that many people here will need to go back to play Halo again to "see a lot of things they didn't see before."

-Sep7imus hopes to be proven wrong.
