In Response To: Re: What Could Have Been. (Leviathan)


: *SPOILERS*

: Some nice ideas - (you're missing a bulletin there of actually getting to
: play the opening cinematic of Tip of the Spear- I would have squealed like
: a schoolgirl!)

Yeah I tried to keep things hardware-feasible. I'm assuming they didn't let us do that because of hardware constraints. The only ambitious thing I have here is a Saber or Longsword section where you fly from point A to point B. Honestly, the mechanics are already in game, I can't see how it would be that difficult.

: The jumps in the narrative did confuse my poor brain
: frequently and took me out of understanding what was happening on Reach on
: the planetary scale (like was the UNSC in battle in space when we were on
: the ground in the first half of the game? How did spaceships just sneak
: down past the orbital defenses? How did the space battle go after we left
: it in Night of Solace? It must have done some good if we were able to last
: so long after the super-invasion, right?).

For real.

: But on the other hand, I did like Bungie taking a chance trying a different
: style with the storytelling. Perhaps it's a campaign that will grow with
: each playthrough (besides the usual
: noticing-of-more-details-that-Bungie-is-awesome-about that occurs each
: time I play a Halo game).

I don't think it's a different style really... I think it was just lack of attentiveness and straight up forced writing.

In fact, I'm not sure where people are getting this from, but apparently the levels were designed first and the story was applied after? That sure explains things, if true.
