In Response To: Re: A proper venue? (Claude Errera)

: Sorry - you misunderstood me.

: I wasn't trying to take any credit from Bachus for noticing the similarities
: between Starhammer and Halo.

: I was simply pointing out that in different times, the smallest mention of a
: literary work by Jason Jones as something that potentially had an
: influence on his storytelling would have been DEVOURED by the fans. The
: Starhammer reference came in response to this question: " Where do
: you (and the team) draw your influences from?" Other than Bachus'
: comment the following day, this was pretty much ignored by the Bungie
: community - and after reading the book, I couldn't understand why.

: I STILL can't understand why.

: Here's a guy who's been elevated to pretty much mythical status by this
: community, both as a programmer, and a storyteller, suggesting that one of
: his biggest influences with respect to the Halo story was a specific
: (though somewhat obscure) novel by a relatively unknown author... and this
: community - one built around a site DEVOTED TO THE PLOT DEVELOPMENT
: EFFORTS OF BUNGIE, to some degree - ignores him?

Hang on a minute. Are you suggesting that the Marathon's Story page should have covered the Halo story? If you take your argument to its logical conclusion the Marathon's Story page should have covered Myth and Oni as well.

You seem to forget that there was a staggered release of the Xbox. I like many othr people outside the US were unable to play Halo until quite recently.

Cheers
Hamish
