Re: Commentary Transcripts.

: No, what I'm saying is despite what a Bungie employee said about our beloved : sarge simply being called Sniper Sergeant and not having a name, we're : indicating that the name Johnson was known for a long time before Halo 2 : having been a part of his texture file and having his name in the first : game's credits. And that fact illustrates... what? I also object to the term "known". Johnson doesn't have a name that Bungie can "know". They made him up. His name was given to him. That name appearing first in filenames and credits, but not in the scripts, not in the recordings, and not in the memory of those responsible for shepherding the game's cutscenes, tell me that his name was given to him late and/or perhaps initially given to him by someone playing little or no role in the story itself-- and therefore of no bearing when considering the character's intended significance to that larger story re: the retcons about Boren's Syndrome and the Spartan I program-- all of which was made up later.
