	In Response To: Re: Volunteers -- arrival (REB) : Arrival doesn't look like Ne Cede Malis, it's the other way around. : The pillar trapping aliens inside was a bug, it wasn't inteded to be that : way. : I belive the bob was removed in the end to make the game less violent. : Everyone killed the bob in that room and that could be interpreted as : Bungie putting the bob in there so he can be slaughtered by the player, in : other words, preaching that killing is fun. : Killing the Pfhor is not the same because it's in self defense. Almost every : 3D shooter out there use the same premise (excuse) to justify the killing: : the player do it in self defense, he or she was attacked first. Therefore : you, the player, fights for a good cause. You don't kill for fun. : (Remember I said ALMOST every 3D shooter out there.) : In other levels where Bobs appears, it's clear you're there to defend them. : Whenever the player chooses to do it or not, that's another story. : On Bob-B-Q there's a message written on the map saying "B0B-JAM? APPLY : GRENADES LIBERALLY!!" It's clear that the guys at Bungie think that : killing bobs was fun, but it was not politically correct that Bungie, as a : company, take such approach on their products - openly. I think this was relaxed somewhat with M2. Remember the Vidmaster Oath? Granted you needed to know the correct key combination to get it. But it's explicit. Cheers Hamish
