Re: Halo 3 campaign and the Arbiter. Concerns

In Response To: Re: Halo 3 campaign and the Arbiter. Concerns (Captain Spark) : In the Halo 3 E3 video at about the 43 second mark, you see the Chief and the : Arbiter exiting a building both wielding chainguns. This concerns me : having an AI character with the possibility of having infinite ammo, and I : have to either reload or swap out to another weapon while the AI player : mows down all the enemies. : I have to wonder if the Arbiter is beset with the same limitations as I am as : the Chief? I'm hoping that the Arbiter will have to reload or swap out to : another weapon when his ammo get exhausted. : Is it really "single player" when you have an AI team mate battling : beside you? : I don't mean this to be negative about Halo 3. I'm more concerned about : losing my immersion in the game, worrying if the AI team mate requires : more work from me to control him while I miss most of the action. Assuming : we can control him at all! I don't think assumptions should be made with the little knowledge we know for sure regarding Halo 3 in general, and the Arbiter specifically. I'll be honest with you, if that scene is myself and the Arbiter, just regaining control of ourselves at the end of a cutscene, both walking out, surprising a large group of Covenant, clearing a path, and just kicking ass, I will feel like such a badass. I don't want the entire game to be like that, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to having moments like that thrown in. The bottom line is that you shouldn't get too worried. Bungie has been working on this thing for a long time. I trust that they know the fanbase, the concerns, and what makes good gameplay. Who knows how the Arbiter will be paired with the Chief? Who knows for how long, in what context, to what degree, etc.? There are too many unknowns to be truly concerned, in my opinion. -SR
