Re: Level 2 Revision

In Response To: Re: Level 2 Revision (Document)


: Interesting that you're not using the dialogue from either Halo 1 or The
: Flood, but on the other hand the book's dialogue wasn't that great, and
: refers to stuff like Wellsley that you're presumably not including. Also,
: following the book completely probably wouldn't leave you much room to
: make changes.

Frankly, I didn't like Dietz's writing. I'm only drawing from the rough outline.

: I'm possibly up too late, but I had to read that a few times to get that
: there was a connection between these two lines.

: Spelling out the name seems awkward when there's nobody but the player who
: wouldn't know the nickname.

I know, but that's the whole point. Using the nickname "Helljumpers" gives you some insight into their character as a branch of the UNSC Marines, but then switching to an acronym doesn't explain anything. The intention is to have Johnson mulling it over himself. Giving the full name of their division also explains that these "Helljumpers" are an explicitly organized military faction.

: Seems a bit random when he's been doing that since back on the first level.

There are a couple ways to interpret this.

For players not familiar with Johnson's personal history already, you can take it as "This is why I signed up for the Marines."

For players who are familiar with Johnson's personal history, you can take it as "This is why Johnson volunteered for Operation: RED FLAG." (Because a mission like that would certainly be on a volunteer basis for general Naval and Marine personnel.)
