Re: Reach, Rewritten: Nightfall

In Response To: Reach, Rewritten: Nightfall (General Battuta) -Mission specified, early on, as locating main Covenant LZ -Covenant in LZ described as preparing for a major breakout -Spire sighted in Covenant LZ; identified as theater shield Oh god, "this" so much. This level really needed the exposition. -UNSC Trafalgar mentioned; Whitcomb mentioned -Nuclear deployment mentioned; highlights SPARTAN strengths Again, also yes. The original really needed to give more of a sense of full scale planet invasion. Aside from the New Alexandria levels, I wasn't feeling it; stuff like this would have helped a great deal. -Jun got some more dialogue riffing off his 'Kill the enemy, but do not hate them' line -Guta fight made more interesting -New dialogue between Jun and the militia added Some of this stuff was a little awkwardly written on your part, but I like the intention to flesh out the character. -Jamming pylon's abilities expanded, tied in to other Halo fluff I still hate this uh...deus ex pylon. That said, your exposition helps explain this never-before-seen and never-after-seen tech. I still like Archilen's "Slipspace beacon" idea, allowing ships to pinpoint jump below the orbital defense grid. But that's too substantial a change for what you're doing. So, agian, I appreciate the additional exposition for the purposes of shoehorning this godawful thing into the Halo universe. -Jun gives the militia a cynical fairwell Really liked this. Again, fleshes out the character. I can hear him saying it even.
