Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology

In Response To: Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology (Quirel) : Point. : There really isn't anything wrong with wishful thinking, and I am clearly : overreacting. I guess I'm a little defensive because of talk about 343i : actually remaking Halo: CE. I understand completely. Admission! I would be perfectly happy with a straight HD port with Achievements. No Multiplayer or even Firefight needed, as far as I'm concerned. I just played through H:CE's The Pillar of Autumn and there's no way I could go back to those archaic controls in a competitive setting. XD : I mean, you can corner me any other time, and I'll talk about what I think : could have been done better with any of the games. But when it comes down : to the end, I can't really support making story changes because it hurts : the integrity of the Halo backstory. You can't tell me that the Director's : Cut of Apocalypse Now! tells the same story as the original version. You : can't tell me that Han is the same person in the Lucas Remakes as he was : in the original theatrical release. Point. =) I have accepted that anything not produced by Bungie/343i is going to be colored by the writer/producer's own interpretations. "Prototype" is my favorite entry in Halo: Legends, but that's because I'm a Gundam fan. I love Evolutions "The Mona Lisa," but it seems odd that all that could be going on around the same time that High Charity moved into the area. I like the idea of Bungie/343i working so closely with outside writers and artists to expand the universe in as tight and coherent a fashion as possible, but there are always going to be inconsistencies. : As for making Johnson's character deeper, like he was in the later games, I'm : not sure that's a good idea. As of Halo: CE, his story and the Chief's : story weren't quite wedded together yet, so he was just that guy in the : background. Back then, we noticed what anybody who doesn't know him yet : notices; big mouth, lots of one-liners. Never fear, I'm not advocating Johnson have flashbacks or a subplot. What I mean is, acknowledge him as a specific person and not just Random Black Marine. An approach that is no more involved in his personal life than H2 was. Since I would like to incorporate Major Silva, having a Marine like Johnson who's always got your back would be especially reassuring and only serves to increase the player's attachment to him. : Meh, my hatred for mecha stems mostly from the fact that I'm an engineer and : a (military) hardware nut. Seeing mecha in a warzone is like... And yet, the US Army is doing its best to develop powered exoskeletons, lol. : Seems like a good equipment trade-off with invisibility. : You can have near-complete invisibility, you can take a rocket to the face, : or you can become invincible for thirty seconds, so long as you don't have : to go anywhere. : Hell, on the Library, it would work perfect with the shotgun. I enjoy Reach's variety of Armor Abilities, but I would rather retool the concept than get in a flame war with the dorks who would have an apoplexy over the idea of Master Chief pop'n an' locking, if you know what I mean. : What I've always wanted to see is, I've wanted to see mods where campaign : levels are opened up. More rooms are added and doors are unlocked, so you : have three different ways to get from the cyro room to the bridge on the : Pillar of Autumn, and four ways to get to the lifeboats. The area around : the Control Room would be opened up, so it feels more like an : administration/security complex than a bunch of checkpoints along a : winding path. New Mombassa could be opened up, especially Sniper Alley. Sounds cool to me. Kind of like what the Steam community has been doing with Left 4 Dead. Valve has even adopted user-created campaigns for PC players. But that would require Microsoft letting Halo become open-source, which I just don't see happening. =/
