| Re: My semi-annual novel...replayability and teh D | |

In Response To: Re: My semi-annual novel...replayability and teh D (Echoes) : True, but remeber that there are only 2 connections we need to worry about,
Even with only two connections, that's still a lot of data being sent between two XBoxes. All we see now on XBox Live is the positions of players and their immediate effects on their surroundings (firing weapons, using vehicles) and only a small amount of environmental change (damage to pillars or opening the gate on Zanzibar) There's no AI synching or perfect repilication of a large number of CPU characters actively moving through the environment. Imagine trying to transfer all the data from the first battle in Outskirts; four Marines, two Spartans, and anywhere from four to ten Covenant at any given time, all with their own active AIs needing constant synchronization. Online co-op would be hard as hell to pull off, and I don't fault Bungie for not doing it witht he limited amount of tiem they had; they probably would have had to compeltely overhaul the existing AI programming, and that would be a total nightmare. | |
