Re: So we're getting a title update

In Response To: Re: So we're getting a title update (Louis Wu)


: If I cared enough, I'd go back and read your posts from before a major Bungie
: release - I'd bet good money that the EXACT SAME TECHNIQUES you loved then
: are the ones you're trashing, ad nauseum, now.

Bungie never gave me anything, and when they did they gave me specific details. What did Bungie do for hints? Maybe Frankie would talk about something awesome regarding how the water is coming along, or maybe they'd play some jacked up weird audio clip that may or may not be a weapon or vehicle for us to be interested in. I also have a couple posts in mind where Bungie stated something clearly or not so clearly that didn't make me very happy at all. Sometimes my unhappiness proved to be on the ball, and other times I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was mistaken.

The sour taste is at the lack of H1's overall multiplayer now combined with some odd expectations they seem to be setting. If there are H2 maps, it removes other H1 maps. People are excited at the prospect of possibly getting Headlong or Relic in Reach now. If it's like sharpsniper said and they're just hinting at a feature set, now the people who think they're totally getting an awesome H2 map will be disappointed. I don't ever recall Bungie jerking people around like this, though I'd love to see an example of it if they did. Usually Bungie just kept their mouths shut on everything until they were ready to finally give some hard info, and they were usually all new features or games, not a "labor of love" and "recapturing the essence of" a beloved title from the past.

: You don't like the marketing. We get it.

Like Cody said, they could have easily left the [redacted] out and I wouldn't really have much to post about.

: Do you think maybe we could be spared another dozen posts saying so?

Yes. I'll stop beating the horse to death.
