In Response To: Re: Hawaiian Pig's Fantabulous Story Review *SP* (Hawaiian Pig) : Still, the unfortunate disjointed sense of story is present in both games. : Once again, most of the conflict is borne out of your mundane objectives. : This is why it feels like "nothing happens" until there's : something worth being interested in: Virgil or Cortana, in each game : respectively. I think I posted prior to ODST to suggest that they look at Star Wars episode 4 for an example of seamless dot joining in an action genre. There are practically no coincidences, everybody is acting true to themselves, doing things that make sense to themselves and their situations - and it just flows from one scene to another. Maybe I should search to see what game prompted the post. I found a thread with this its not my post but it shows that the story problems were in th original trilogy.

I understand that you probably think that no true fan would let less than perfect go without comment in case Bungie goes the way of the Star Trek franchise. That's generally my mindset. I share some of your reservations but I've got to say that I LOVE this game, its my second favorite of all the Halo games (only my first love comes before it). And I've seen some stuff from other people here that suggests that close up encounters can work. If they work for me then I will be in gaming heaven for some time. Thank you Bungie.
