In Response To: Linear much? (darthbob) : The thing about the old E3 '03 demo was this...it was scripted. What would've : happened if he didn't take the Warthog? Well, I'm sure he could've : hoofed it all the way there and boarded a Ghost, but what if he didn't do : that? The game probably would've skipped to the cut-scene with him in the : Ghost... : Now, the entire idea of you, the player, fighting in this gigantic city with : what feels like living, breathing humans is nice. But the idea of strictly : linear gameplay isn't. And Halo 2 isn't already linear I'm not seeing very many brancing pathways in Halo 2 or even "choose path" options a la Gears of War. Scripted events aren't always a bad thing, since you can have player made choices on top of cool little events -- look at Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty, among others.
