In Response To: "Arbiter" was once "Dervish"? *sp* (Tempus Fugit)

: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=572617

: Hmm...

: Master Chief/Dervish means that both were playable characters in the 9th and
: last level of the old Halo 2 that was scrapped. We know that the Arbiter
: had another name that had to be changed because of it would offend muslims
: or somethin like that.

: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervish

: Wikipedia confirms that it would not be a wise decision to name the
: antagonist of your game "Dervish".

Great job finding this by yourself, but it was previously mentioned on the forums more than once. :o) I think everyone knows about it already. I heard Microsoft disallowed Bungie from using the name Dervish. Either that or Bungie simply decided to change the name. *Shrugs*
