In Response To: Re: Just now playing Halo... (Yossarian)

: lol, Isn't that sort of what we do in Marathon? The only difference is
: instead of maps being thrown up on terminals we have Cortana and waypoints
: to show us where to go.

: True, there is but one storyline. I think if Halo's maps had been easier to
: create and Bungie had more resources during development you may have seen
: a non-linear story. They also had to take into account the target market,
: it's possible that console fans are less likely to enjoy/comprehend a
: story that is both deep and non-linear.

Yes, but there are no puzzles in Halo, no figuring out what switches do. Its just so much simpler. The game itself is very linear, no matter the story. The whole game seems like one big hallway. There's no exploration or anything.

: The more I play it, the more I like it...

The multiplayer is fantastic I agree, but the single player is atrocious.
