Re: There's pie in that thar sky

In Response To: Re: There's pie in that thar sky (Rockslider) : Heh, that's well in keeping with Ducain's 'pie in the sky' theme, I'd say. : I'd like access to the original weapons too, but I really can't see Bungie : considering such a mix. I don't think developers like having such : throwback features. It's not so much the amount of extra work it might : take, it's just that they want to have things consistently focused across : the whole game. Partly to do with game's identity. One can always hope. How about give us back the original Needler. : Hey, nice idea; that could look real dramatic and make the tank a lot more : enjoyable. I don't use the Scorpion much, and now I come to think of it, : part of the reason is because of the aiming. For me it's always had a : shoot-and-hope vibe, and with long-distance shots it's often a case of : gradually adjusting your aim over the course of a few opening shots. The bridge battle on Metropolis is just begging for a scope on the Scorpion especially with the Sputnik skull activated. With that skull running its fun to blast a Ghost from long range and watch it fly over the arch on the bridge and then place the killing shot from extreme range. : I'm surprised you're suggesting that at all. You're happy to deny yourself : the satisfaction of blasting a Banshee out of the sky, or cooking a Ghost : or Wraith? I want destructibility across the board as long as it's done : well. I'd particularly like to finally be able to blow covie dropships out : of the sky. Do you ever rocket them in H1? Doesn't have any effect but : it's still quite satisfying to let the covies know how you feel! I also : want all vehicles to take damage in their own right, not have it linked to : the driver's health. That always was nonsensical of course, gameplay : issues aside. I go back and forth about this, probably because I get killed so often while in a vehicle :) : As a general point, I don't think that the enjoyment of tricking should be : used as an argument against features that would be fun for the : overwhelming majority of players who aren't into that extra-curricular : activity (noble though it may be). I was talking about that in another : thread , in connection with the idea of having a freecam feature, : something which could be great fun but which (apparently) could remove a : lot of the incentive for tricking. : I'd certainly like the option of being able to battle without a symphony : coming over my intercom! Sometimes I'd rather go with a more realistic : feel, with just the sounds of the environment and battle. That has its own : aesthetic appeal. Music washes over everything, and in its louder moments : can be a significant hindrance, e.g. making it hard to pick up the sounds : of unseen enemies. There are places in H1 where it really annoys me. I love Marty's music but there iare times when I wish I could play without it, and not just for dialogue recording purposes.
