Re: A few deep breaths *SP* | |

In Response To: Re: A few deep breaths *SP* (Capo Rip) You know what my expectations were? Think back to E3 2003. How nuts was that? You land in a pelican after flying by Covenant flack cannon fire, over an amazing urban plateau of human civilization. In Halo 2, as Randy said, it could have been any city from any game, very generic. Old Mombassa I can understand, but when you cross the bridge? Mostly tunnels, an outdoor park sniping section, some Warthoggery agaisnt wraiths, climb up the stairs, Scarab battle. YES the Scarab is kick-ass. BUT it was the lone highlight in that level, eye-candy wise. Where are the medical tents that the MC walked by at E3? A situation of Marines barely holding their own against a massive attack was clearly evident in the first. Where's the sccripted events that we saw? "Oy! Parsons! Is it clear?"
Then you walk out to find a BIG ass covenent artillery cannon blasting the crap out of a building towering over you. Then longswords come in and bomb it. How freaking cool was that. How much did you all shake with anticipation? How many told all of your friends? "OMG dude its amazing, its orgasmic! Like, theres this huge cannon, and its blowing the crap out of this building, then you go through this bombed-out part duel wielding SMGs, and you go into this 'Hog, in the gunner position! And... you gotta see it!" Almost all of the environments are completely static, no scripting no nothing. They turned down the awesome-meter from 11 down to like 4. Sure the Metropolis level is "good," but its not great And AI driving? Meh. I usually end up driving becouse they're too dumb, they stay in a tight area for too long, getting us blown to hell by a wraith, or they just go back and forth in front of its cannons. This is why I think the game is missing... "something." It is a great game, but Bungie presented a game to us that they didn't deliver. I want my scripted sequences and things happening around me. Throughout Halo 2, I feel like I'm the only catalyst for action, I don't feel like I'm fighting for something. |
