| In Response To: Re: What we expect in MTA and M4 (Martin) : Just on those early points I'm going to offer a slightly different take on
: We get bigger levels but lose the automap, in some great fit of irony. The
Cheers. :) A little Durandal poem for Halo 3: ODST's level design due to its literal copy/paste of the same maps: "There's not much else to do except hunt, for terminals, clues and headshot grunts; but the reward's pretty lame, all the streets look the same, and the covies keep respawning, the cunts!" : I also find it much harder to hit things with the rocket launcher than in
I find it hard sometimes too, and I played Halo first because I never had a shitty Mac ;) I thank the dreaming god for the lock-on feature in Halo 2/2 Anniversary and Halo Reach because Banshees are a pain in the plot to hit with plasma grenades when I'm out of ammo for my AR, Pistol and SPNKR when my shotgun is reserved for Flood. not to mention the damn wraiths keep strafing my rockets on Betrayals unless I carpet bomb them with banshee fuel rods. As far as changes in a Marathon
the changes would be better as plugins for A1 but plugins for MTA and M4 could still apply. don't know whether they should use Unreal or make a full 3D A1 counterpart called Aleph 2, with Windows and OSX Aleph 1 versions of Forge and Anvil as a free add-on. Skulls could include: Mutiny; "we won't sweat one more drop for you!" where slave races and passive creatures turn on the Pfhor, Hot Citrus; "When life gives you lemons..." I'll leave that to your imagination ;), Wily kitkat (from my MR novel): "the oldest child may learn from the youngest" where BoBs, Potato Anuses, camo-squids and free S'pht ect, lead Marcus straight to sniping and camping spots and to all secrets, health and shield stations but not other skulls, and: Hole in One: "Pfhor!" where you get an OP golf club. Achievements could be: Battle Group Stupid; kill Admiral Tfear on Aye Mak Sicur, Oddball; find 7 skulls, Poor Yorick; find half the skulls in MTA, EXTREMELY poor Yorick; find all the skulls, Eat the Path; find every Dream terminal, And that's the end of that chapter: find every credit terminal They're trying to fly a gun; throw yourself off a high bridge (in game that is) and TOZT jetpack your way through the nearby gorge to safety, Airlock Love: teabag 17 dead network players in a Vacuum level, Holy CRIST: raid the Marathon's canteen Shudaki's pride: Finally get to duel wield fusion pistols as in Halo 2. Power of seven; Beat seven firefight maps on Total Carnage without dying, Vidmaster or no. Seventh Column: beat the games on Mythic as a Vidmaster OUTSIDE CO-OP. and last but either not or definitely least depending on your point of view: VIDGOD: 100% the games campaign's finding all terminals, skulls, secret levels, most other achievements even after unlocking (for fairness) that involve secrets, Easter eggs, progression or awesomeness, on Total Carnage with every Skull active, Vidmaster style and no co-op. Did I mention it all has to be in the space of ONE playthrough? (saving your game doesn't break the rules, we're not THAT big a monster. ;) ) Also, you must find the secrets and complete the level alive afterward for it to count. save after finding them and getting to a save terminal intact, and you should be safe if you have the rest of them. thanks for the feed back.
