Good things and bad things...
Posted By: Troy LawlorDate: 11/11/00 2:25 a.m.

In Response To: Overhangs, caves, waves... (Louis Wu)

Anybody find mention of limb-specific damage animations a little disappointing? Sure, they're better then just having a single pain animation, but I was sort've hoping the IK and physics systems would extend into this area. If you shoot them in the arm from a certain direction, wouldn't it be hella cool if their arms and bodies were thrown back in that direction, affected in the exact point at which you shot them?

The idea of waves crashing gets me pretty exciting. As long as there are particles that is. Can't do without particles! As far as overhangs and caves... well, that sounds more like stuff that the old engine was supposed to be able to do. Seems good anyway. If caves and overhangs aren't in Halo(we can put them there if we want to)... well then surely Bungie's special stash needs to be taken away from them.

Say- DID we ever find out what that big secret feature Bungie didn't want to reveal until all competition were past the point of no return? I can't remember. Perhaps it has to do with the secret AI progress.

I'm getting a wee bit sour after watching this game get restarted twice. It looks like for the first time in the year+ this game has been announced Bungie will actually get past the basic testing arena stage and start making some content that won't get scrapped when they decide Halo needs to be rewritten again ;).
