In Response To: Re: It's always a bit depressing... (Bry)

: I'm guessing that what a lot of people describe as exploring in Halo really
: refers to going outside of the intentional playspaces, something that
: Bungie have tried harder to prevent with each subsequent release. That or
: vehicles being less readily (or obviously) available on the larger maps in
: the first game.
: Not that this has kept people from getting well outside the maps in all of
: the games through one means or another. Its just much more difficult and
: in limited locations.
: Funny thing, nostalgia.
Yup. Give us a 50 meter wide ravine with a 50 meter high wall and no invisible barriers, and we'll spend hours trying to get out of there to explore beyond the map, and we'll love it. Give us a 500 meter wide area with a 5 meter high barrier and an invisible wall, and we'll complain about how restricting it is.
I think part of it is our natural desire to see what's beyond the next hill or at the bottom of every chasm. There may be absolutely nothing there, but many people just have to see it for themselves. Even if they've been looking at broken textures for hours, they just feel the need to keep going just in case they find something. Sometimes we just get tired of playing and want to challenge ourselves to get to a certain location.
