In Response To: Legendary Observations (very long, minor *SP*) (mike miller)

Really excellent post, man. Thank you!

And...

"A close runner-up for dumbest addition must be the inexplicable decision to include boss battles. Again, one of the best features of the original Halo was the avoidance of the lame and archaic video game convention of boss battles. Some genres are conducive to the inclusion of such battles; the military-themed FPS is not one of them. Nothing breaks the feeling of immersion more than suddenly running into some magical enemy that defies the otherwise consistently-applied rules of the game."

I could not have said it any better myself and I couldn't agree more.
