Re: Halo Update: Desperate Measures Edition
Posted By: St. KIller	Date: 9/8/01 1:38 a.m.
In Response To: Halo Update: Desperate Measures Edition (Matt) : Hey all- : Since the good folks at Haloplayers haven't posted it yet and their forum : seems to be down, I'm taking the unusual measure of posting this week's : Halo Update here. I don't like doing this because I want people to visit : all the sites that get the Halo Update, but I do want it up somewhere so : those of you on the East Coast can read it and go to bed or do whatever : else you do on Friday nights. : You should all go read it again tomorrow at Haloplayers to help me assuage my : guilt. : Without further ado.... : Like Neil Diamond, the Halo Update has steadfastly refused to die. But will : there be enough data to keep it going until its first birthday? : - Post-combat behavior is in; AIs now can now comment to themselves or each : other after an encounter, shoot enemies on the ground to make sure they're : still dead, and so on. : - The crewmen fight better – better than the Bobs in Marathon, notes Chris : Butcher. : - AI units now know the difference between darkness and light, and : consequently know when to use the flashlight. : - Signaling animations are in; you'll see Marines waving, pointing things out : to each other and so on. : - You can order Marines to get the hell out of the Warthog so you can drive : it. This is a more humane alternative to the previous procedure for : removing them from vehicles. : - Marcus made the Banshee contrails look nicer. : - We fixed some specular lighting issues. : - Marty got all the music hooked up in the last mission of the game and is : fiddling around with it so it matches the action and doesn't get : obnoxious. : - At nearly all times, several people in the office are playing the game. : Co-op in particular is a lot of fun, but there's plenty of multiplayer : action to be had. Bungie employees speak in awe of a certain 12-player CTF : game that occurred a couple nights back. "It was just like a : war," said Hardy. "Exactly like we hoped it would be." : -Matt So does that mean that the bots are in the game? Matt, Please answer me please

that's me in the bear suit
