: Interesting having a skull hidden on the lakebed, but starting the player on
: the shore. The cutscene would imply you can simply walk underwater, but
: you'd be going backwards. I think an underwater environment might have
: interesting potential as a playspace. Maybe in later levels?

Yeah, you can definitely go explore the water if you feel like it. I'd want to do lots of optional areas full of prettiness to explore in this game.

Not sure about about an underwater combat area.... Maybe. It could definitely be something new to throw at the player down the line.

(Imagine fighting Flood underwater - yikes!)

: Having them teleport away means you can't pick up their weapons—the first
: time that's happened since CE's swords and FRGs. How do you provide the
: player with ordinance and ammunition in these encounters? It doesn't make
: sense story-wise to have human or Covenant weapons lying around. Does the
: backpack shown in the opening cutscene have a gameplay function, perhaps
: carrying extra magazines?

I've been trying to think of a way for that backpack to have a gameplay purpose but didn't figure anything out by this post.

I tried to make sure the last level had plenty of weapon opportunities, but this one is indeed a little light. But there's still lots of weapons dropped by Sentinels around. If it was a problem, perhaps the Proto-Warrior's weapons could be broke off before they teleported? Little ruins of their armor left behind?

This is really the only level that will have this concern though - starting next go around, we're going to start getting an influx of new weapons. :)
