Re: I agree *long*

In Response To: I agree *long* (Epyon) : By maintaining secrecy, they prevented the audience (i.e. us) from giving : them input. The thing that boggles my mind is that *everyone* was hyped : for an invasion of Earth. I wanted to know if the Master Chief ever won : his bet with Cortana and "stuck it." Not 'everyone'; I couldn't care less about the battle on Earth, and can't concieve why people wanted it so badly. : The only reason I see for that massive about face in terms of story was that : they couldn't figure out a way for the Master Chief to win. The MC always : wins on the ground, but humans have only won one battle in Space. So how : could we survive an onslaught by 500 ships? The writers couldn't come up : with one so they gave us a rehash of Halo:CE with play as an elite. Uh, no. Bungie has had the story of Halo 2 planned out in considerable depth probably before they even started working on the original game. Or atleast, they would have had all of the backstory, which ties in with the plot in Halo 2. : I once again start out defending a space station/capital ship against : boarding parties. : I once again stage an assault on the control room/ prophet. : I once again do battle with the flood as I curse at how : "unenjoyable" it is to do so. : I once again wander through the Library cursing it's repetitious environment. : I once again battle to save Sgt. Johnson/Keyes/Keyes' Daughter. It's pretty obvious Bungie made a point to make the story like this; I believe it was to maintian a little sense familiarity between the two games. : I still maintain that the story is weak. It's full of inconsistencies and : confusing moments. (Why would the Covenant be amassing a fleet of 500 : ships to invade Earth at the Unyielding Hierophant and then only send a 12 : ships saying that they didn't think Earth would be populated?). The story is FAR superior to the story in the original. Just because you don't pay very much attention to the dialog, doesn't mean the story is inconsistent.
