In Response To: "Coolness" and "Cheating" (Marty the Elder)

: Mysteries are cool. Some easter eggs are mysterious. In our little game
: development world we have the ability to put cool things all over the
: place, and make them really hard to capture or find in real time. In my
: opinion there are at least a couple ways to destroy the “coolness” of
: these mysteries. One way is to simply crack open all the content on the
: disk and analyze it outside of the context in which it was meant to be
: found. It’s not actually “cheating” but it kind of feels that way to me. I
: know that there is content on our disk that is actually impossible to be
: discovered by playing the game. Sometimes it’s just easier to ship it
: rather than risk breaking the game by removing it.

: Another way to kill the coolness is to have someone like me explain the thing
: in detail. No one really wants that to happen, especially me.

: I’m pretty sure that there is still plenty left to see, and hear in Halo 2
: that hasn’t been seen or heard yet. Have you heard that music yet? Have
: you heard Sgt. Jones actually dictate that letter yet?

: Have fun, stay cool.

: Oh, and by the way, that was a cool poem in that music wasn't it? Wow, I
: wonder what it means...

In case you actually read this... I borrowed (OK, actually i stole it out of his bag when he wasnt looking) my mates Halo 2 CD he got off Trademe... Played it and my mum commented that it was very good music. She said that it reminded her of another composer, can't remember which. And I have to agree. The last fight of Gravemind? Ten times better with the music in it. The music in Halo 2, like most other aspects of the game, far outstrips any other competitors. It is not what it does, it's that it does everything in it so perfect that it doesn't need gimicks. Allow me to congratulate you on your performance :)
