Shotgun to the face?
Posted By: Narcogen <narcogen@rampancy.net>Date: 9/7/06 6:12 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Game Design - What were we MEANT to do? (Speedhuntr)

: Um, I think the game was destined to be rated "M for Mature" with
: all the blood splatter.

Not true. Halo 1 was supposed to receive a 'T' up until the very end. There was even box art with the 'T' rating in it. It was changed shortly before release, if I recall correctly.

I never find the scene very "awkward", I
: actually think it's one of the most emotional scenes of the entire series
: as of yet. You've been running around alone for awhile now seeing the
: violent results of some battle between the covenant and ???. And now you
: finally see another fellow soldier who's so disturbed and blathering about
: how his squadmates were taken. You hide behind the crate and listen to his
: "speech" until none is left to hear. And then you do the
: rightful thing and put the man out of his misery with a point blank
: shotgun burst to the face.

: That's what I do with him, everytime.

Is that even possible? I thought the shotgun isn't in the game at that point in the level. You only get it AFTER the Flood attack you in the lab where you find Jenkins' helmet, no?
