In Response To: limited lives theory + rambling (XZCion)

> One thing that I think is very cool, is a multiplayer game with

> through before you're out, where X is any integer), but not :]

> it's most like that tank arcade game, where each TEAM had a
> limited number of lives they could chew through. however,
> instead of having the magic 'respawn' ability, you take over
> control of one of the bots that is ALREADY in the game.

> this would only work where bots were in the game of course. and
> once you run out of team members the game is over. it was one of
> the best gameplay features of h&d.

> I must say, as an aside, that all of us compare halo to tribes,
