Lack of disturbance

In Response To: Re: 'I find your lack of faith disturbing' (Louis Wu)


: Well, "correct way" might be going too far; I doubt there's just
: one "correct way". It's possible that game developers say
: "this way ought to work, too" - and by the time they figure out
: that it doesn't, the game's out, the money's spent, and they're working on
: whatever's next (and cursing Halo/CoD/GotW).

Let's say "superior" then. However, let's admit that it is diametrically opposed to the way of handling multiplayer on the PC platform, which is geared toward maximizing user choice. The Halo experience is geared towards maximizing play time.

: Yeah, Bungie figured out a pretty good system. They make it better each
: iteration (imo) - but the fact that they CAN make it better says that it's
: not perfect. So someone else might always come along with something that
: beats it.

: (Hasn't happened yet, in my opinion, but that's certainly not to say that it
: won't.)

I think it'll be perfected, not replaced (at least not anytime soon). The concept is sound.

Anyway I wrote a rebuttal:
