In Response To: Exactly (re: invisible walls) (Interactive Civilian) : I haven't played any multi-player Halo yet (well...not really...a couple of : two player games against my roommate. No XBL here :( ). My only real : complaints about the single player scenario are the invisible walls and : the overly large number if instant death zones. : Halo 1 did a fantastic job of using terrain features (cliffs, being on an : island) to make it feel like you are actually in a really large space : while still being limited to where you can go. It made exploration a LOT : of fun and certainly enhanced the replay value of the game. : The invisible walls and instant death zones in Halo 2 really throw a wrench : into all of that. For example on Delta Halo/Regret, there are a lot of : places that you should be able to grenade jump to (with the help of : sputnik), but you are inexplicably held back by invisible walls. As you : enter the library area on Quarantine zone, for the most part you can't get : off the ferry-ride because almost all surfaces will instantly kill you : even though some are easily accessable with a grenade jump. : And perhaps the most frustrating were the invisible walls on the final level. : Here you have a banshee and you can't even fly a full loop around the : control room or over the tops of cliffs that are clearly visible. : I understand the need to keep the player on course so as not to break the : plot of the game, but IMHO Halo 1 did a much more subtle and believable : job of it. : However, I still love the games and they continue to be the only games I own : for my XBox. :D More invisible walls? restrict movement? what? if anything H2 seems much more open...yeah you get invisible walls more often, but only run into them after you've already left the level...
