there is no 'set in stone'
Posted By: Miguel Chavez	Date: 10/6/05 11:17 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Asking an ignorant question... (Count Zero) : Yeah, Halo 2 itself got burned by that sort of thing. No sprinting, no : peering around corners, no ATV, no stencil shadows, no zoomed single shot : on the BR, no rocket hog, and so on. I expect that in the future Bungie : will be very careful to only show off things that are absolutely set in : stone. Short of maybe a month or two before a title goes gold. Otherwise, the developer should always reserve the right to make changes as he/she sees fit. Trust me, no matter how much safer Halo 3 is 'pre-announced' by Bungie, there will *always* be someone who will complain that the shipping game doesn't live up to the claims, real or imagined, from everything right before that point. The trick is to attempt to get the naysayers in the lowest percentile as possible. Not by any deviousness, of course, but by actually being able to deliver what you announced. The shorter the span of time between those two events, the better your chances. - M
