In Response To: Re: MARATHON = and != HALO (best guess theory) (Mark Levin) : I don't think Island Four's posts are "official" Bungie. He was
Agreed. I read that as the original poster couldn't remember his (Nathan B's) real name. The Cortana Letters are less solid than in-game events, but they're still a vaild source unless proven (by a specific conflict wrt Halo the game or FoR) false. : And, again, three years is a long time and at least 60-70% of Halo's
60-70% of the time, but not of the effort. Here's where we differ. The legal stuff combined with the engine rewrite equals about 3 years. You don't need to sell out if your cashflow is solid. How much did development slow for lack of cash before the sale? It came to a screeching halt. How long can a lawyer argue? Forever, or for as long as (s)he gets a regular check. So how much change could then have been made to the storyline? Not a heck of a lot. Especially considering that fixed shipdate. Retail copies had to be on store shelves no later than COB 14 Nov 01. Bungie had to take the story as it had been written and *MAKE* it work. : No, I'm saying the resemblance was much greater initially and gradually wore
Sorry, I don't see it. |
