In Response To: Re: One Man's Canon Is Another's PITA (long) (treellama)

: So far I've gotten feedback from three players who play on TC. So, I think
: "sense of community" is an over-description. But, from those
: three, I am getting the sense that canon is the wrong answer here.

: The change was worth it for at least one beta because it resulted in that
: hilarious Antarctico post making fun of your precise style of
: playing--when that play style is the reason we all love watching your
: films!

I guess I referred to it as "sense of the community" since I feel like I was the "lone voice crying in the wilderness". As for my style of play, that resulted from an evolving desire over the years to challenge myself to the ultimate. For me that was to collect all available ammo on each level and to use as little as possible.

It may come as a surprise, but at one time I hated the game. I could not for the life of me defeat the final room in M2 on TC (or even MD). (I had not even played M1 or M∞). I got so mad, I wrote some obscure message board, castigating the whole Bungie group for producing a game that was &$^%%^$ impossible to beat. Looking back, I have to laugh at myself.
