Re: Give me a break.

In Response To: Give me a break. (Nexon Zeta) Tribes is also a closed enviroment. ALL games on the market are closed enviroments. Even the ones promising total freedom (most obviously in the Driving Genre...) are limited - only a 5 mile square, etc. It's pretty much impossible with the current limitations of computers to model and ENTIRE WORLD - in fact, no game has been able to do this. It's not a question of programming, It's a question of CPU Power. A 1 GHz Athlon with a GeForce 2 gts would be hard pressed (if possible at all) to model the entire ringworld, in real time, and track every player on it and everything they're doing! This is what rampant speculation does - leads to totally unrealistic expectations. Even if halo does become more first-person with closed enviroments, it'll have superior gameplay and a superior story. This is <b>BUNGIE</b> we're talking about here, folks. -wm
