In Response To: Oh, better... (stan) : The cone is funny, but I'd have to imagine it was expected by Bungie (why : else would they have packed the area surrounding fusion coils with chairs : and cones and other potential projectiles [unless they made changes after : the first cone incident, I don't know]). But I doubt they ever expected : this kind of AI behavior to cause the player's death. It was probably just : put in there as a fun realism-building behavior (like when the Arbiter : climbs crates to get a better shot). But then he goes and kills the player : in his zeal to clear his path. : I really want to see this guy (or someone else he authorizes to use the : footage) make a machinima short out of this. We open on a survey of the : flood, maybe a frenetic montage of scuttling infection forms, attacking : combat forms, and lurking carriers. Real dramatic. Then we cut to a : infection form infecting a dead marine, and as he gets up, you rotate the : camera around to show the MC standing silhouetted in the doorway with his : shotgun out, ready to unload. As he's standing there, we hear a primal : roar, and the camera cuts to a front-on shot of the Arbiter barreling into : the room, kicking tables out of the way like a madman. Then a dramatic : close up of his foot kicking the crate, followed by a wide, high-angle : shot tracking the crate in slow-mo as it flies towards the chief. Then, : abrupt-like we pop back into normal speed as the crate strikes the Chief, : and he goes down with a subdued 'hmpf.' Back to a wide, high angle shot : looking down over the Arbiter's shoulder as he walks slowly towards the : fallen Chief. Finally, we cut to a low-angle shot looking towards the : doorway from outside. In the corner of the shot, in the immediate : foreground, you can just see a section of the chief's helmet. Sticking : with that angle, we see the Arbiter lean over, look down at the Chief, : pause, and then ask tentatively "Chief?... [pause] Oooh." : Cut to rock song and credits. Oh my... That has got to be the greatest idea since the Rick Roll that one guy did with the moniter!
