: Yeah so it's a day late :P

Not really, I'm just a day late. If you look down the page theres another volunteers CSFSC.

: I won't comment on the main puzzle as enough has already beeen said on that
: subject :P This time I failed to get the puzzle perfect after three tries,
: said "To hell with it", and grenade hopped. This level defines
: the category of implausible design. Jason Jones must die mb.

And take all the fun outta life? The only reason people hate that puzzle is because they never get it right! For practice, try the one on Smells Like Napalm...

: This level also seems a bit pointless... No objective, no mission, not even
: very interesting architecture. Filler? Perhaps Durandal is trying to think
: of something to do with us? Lookers and Wasps are the primary enemy,
: monsters that seem almost filler themselves as they don't fit into the
: story or the rest of the aliens very well. Bungie has elsewhere been heard
: to say that during M1's level design process they were afraid the game
: would turn out too short.

Pointless? I think Durandals trying to KILL US. Lookers and wasps filler? More like deadly. I think this level is where durandal tries to get rid of us once and for all (lucky I remembered how to do that pillar puzzle, then again, I didn't really cause M1A1 put them up to the correct level automacticly. All I have left is memories =(.

: The level is redeemed somewhat by the terminals. Durandal philosophizes,
: expounding on time and purposes, and gives some veiled hints about his
: plans and our future. The last terminal ends with the memorable line
: "Escape will make me God."

Whos says he's gonna escape while we're around. If hes trying to kill us, why not kill him? Of course, then we'd have Tycho left. I hate being a pawn =D.
