	In Response To: Volunteers -- arrival (Grasshopper) 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. REB
