Re: Day 3 Halo Overload - reminiscences

In Response To: Re: Day 3 Halo Overload - reminiscences (Mark Levin) : This has been discussed before, but can you clarify this: How did you know : that this was your job? Did Cortana speak to you? Was it obvious from cues : in the level design? Or did Max just know what to do? Cortana was talking as the dropship came in to land, but it was also obvious from the setup. The dropship that is behind you (which you can see out the back as you're coming in) lands between you and the Covenant. The Bobs from that ship get out first and the battle is officially begun. You could, however, go wherever you want after you disembark from the dropship, leaving the fight to the regular Marines. : A jeep and its passengers survive a direct hit from a grenade? Hmm... Was it : possible to damage or destroy the vehicles (with weapons, as opposed to : with bad driving)? No, it was an Indestructo-Jeep(tm). I heard second-hand (heh) from Max that if the Jeep flips, the occupants will take major damage (in the final). : By now, the venerable game of FPS CTF has evolved into many variations... How : complex was Halo's version? Was the scoring simple or complex (i.e. just : points for capture, or extra consideration for tactically significant : acts? (I ask because you imply that returning the flag would have altered : the score)). What was the interface for setting up a multiplayer game : like, if you saw it? : More random questions: What did the different players look like? How were the : teams differentiated in-game (in terms of the player's appearance)? Can : you describe the CTF map in more detail? Anyone on your team had a green triangle floating above their head. Also, when you got the crosshairs near one player or another, their name appeared on screen. -mnemesis
