In Response To: Re: The unbearable heaviness of delayed reward (Kermit) I loved what Dave Halo said way up here: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1029008 It may be easier for you to search in-game, but its easier for Korn to search through code. Its still a hunt, though. To each his own, I say. You're all acting like kornman took a file, ran it through a hex editor, and a result came up that said "There's a switch in New Alexandria that let's you fly a Pelican!" I'm sure it's more complicated than that, right? For kornman, it might be easy, but that's only because he knows what he's doing (and I'm sure it still took work). Not everyone can do what he did. He was just using his talents to contribute information. I guess the outrage comes from the fact that, were it not for kornman, this search would have taken far, far longer. And so kornman must have then taken away a certain amount of future fun you guys will have. I'm sure if kornman thought of it that way, he wouldn't have posted his post (or would have at least left out a lot of crucial information). But it's now been approximately 5000 posts bashing kornman as if he's a common cheating-hacker asshole. What he did takes work and a specialized skill, and it was fun to him, and he was not aware he was diminishing anyone's fun. In-game easter egg hunters share those same qualities. Gedankenexperiment: How much more well-received this scenario would have been: kornman never makes a post and, instead, someone else discovers the egg in-game and makes a post detailing exactly how to get it. Had someone done that, people wouldn't even have the fun of finding the switch or trigger volume. Would the fact that it was found in-game made it OK? Cliffs:
