| Why? | |
| Posted By: Matt <matt@bungie.com> | Date: 9/25/01 5:55 p.m. |
In Response To: Remember me? (epollyon) : !!!BLAME MICROSOFT!!! Why? They did not make the decision. If you must blame anyone, blame Bungie. Bots were in doubt long before MS bought us. I distinctly remember multiple conversations in our pre-buyout Chicago offices in which someone would ask for bots and someone else (usually a programmer in a position to know what he was talking about) argued just as stridently against them. (These conversations usually ended with a Bungie Customer Support person stomping back to his desk, shouting "Fine, I'll forward all the hate mail to you.") I don't know why I bother mentioning this...the people who want to blame Microsoft will go ahead and blame Microsoft, regardless of whether that's the intelligent thing to do. It's not that bots aren't cool, but Halo does not really suffer for lack of them. They were never a key part of the design. -Matt | |
